8EE1>S UNDEB IBBIGATION. 



[The remarks 6t J. C. Robinson, of Waterloo. 

 Neb., introducing: ($e subject for discasslon at 

 the Cleveland meeting of the American Seed 

 Trade Association. I 



A paper on a special subject is sup- 

 posed to pjFeaefi^ more than average 

 knowledge of the subject treated. In 

 writing of the merits of seed growing 

 under irrigation, or under the more com- 

 mon method, which might be called dry 

 farming, I must disclaim any special 

 knowledge or having conducted any ex- 

 periments to attain such knowledge. 

 The purpose, therefore, of this paper is 

 only to introduce the strt^ect for discus- 

 sion. 



Twenty-five years ago, when the 

 writer first entered the arena as a seed 

 grower, irrigation was practically in its 

 infancy. Application of water through 

 various means to growing crops, whSe 

 old as the history of man, has only been 

 worked out scientifically in compara- 

 tively recent years. Some countries 

 have so agreeable a climate, both as 

 regards heat and cold, rain and sun- 

 shine, that crops grow nearly to perfec- 

 tion and short crops and failures are 

 more nearly the exception than the rule; 

 but a large part of our country is not 

 so favored and must depend largely on 

 intelligent application of irrigation 

 water at the necessary time. 



No question can be raised as to the 

 results obtained, surpassing by far the 

 best crops obtained by dry farming. All 

 who have made a study of the subject 

 admit these wonderful crop results both 

 in quantity and quality. We are 'there- 

 fore more interested in the effect o_f 

 irrigation on the seed product, and'thfe 

 crops that this seed will produce on 

 non-irrigated land, than in the results of 

 irrigation itself. 



Good Stocks Produced. ' 



We jgive much attention at present to 

 heredity and environment in the results 

 of ailimal breeding. We already know 

 that the law of heredity is just as ef- 

 fective in the vegetable kingdom as in 

 the animal. Therefore, the effect of 

 irrigiation on seed stocks must be one 

 of environment-t)nly. When the growth 

 of the plant is the most nearly ideal 

 the resulting seed must be of strong 

 vitality and be able to produce a strong, 

 robust seed plant.. That strong seed 

 will produce strcuig plants can be ex-

MwitloB TTie Review when yew wrto 



emplified in, say, a hill of cucumbers, 

 when ten seeds may grow and all start 

 oflf under conditions that are equal, yet 

 some plants will come up stronger, make 

 more rapid growth and give better re- 

 sults than others, and we can only con- 

 clude in such a case that the seed itself 

 contains the strength or elements that 

 cause one plant to outclass the other. 

 The irrigated plant is produced under 

 almost cloudless sky, and the up-to-date, 

 intelligent grower never allows the 

 plant to falter for an instant in its for- 

 ward march to perfection. The result 

 must be a high state of perfection in 

 the product. If this reasoning is cor- 

 rect, it would seem that nothing better 

 in the seed line can be produced than 

 can be grown under irrigation. Climate 

 and soil affect some seed when taken to 

 another zone or soil, but this is a matter 

 of acclimation rather than of irrigation. 

 It seems to me that there is a broad 

 field for experiment along this line.
