ADVANCE INFORMATION ABOUT OUR SMALL 
GRAIN BREEDING WORK 
With a continuing trend towards an increased acreage of small grain 
and a decline in the proportion of land devoted to row crops, we feel that 
more and more emphasis should be placed on the advancement of this 
work in the South. At best plant breeding is a slow process, requiring 
many years to produce a variety with the desired characteristics. Especi- 
ally so since new and more virulent diseases are constantly facing us. 
However, through the efforts of specialist in this field and the cooperation 
of the U.. S. D. A., breeders are gradually overcoming the many obstacles 
that have hindered advancement of agriculture for so long. It is through 
these efforts that we are able to give you the type of seed required to 
meet the present-day conditions. 
In the following list of small grain to be offered in season you will 
notice a new variety of Wheat’ and one of Oats* both of which we be- 
lieve will do credit to this organization and to Agriculture in general 
in this section of the country.
