POTA.TO SEED SELECTION,
as eleewhere, but judging by tae qua
titiee of inferior tubers used for seed
purposes, the Importance of tals law
is not appreciated by Many. Tile, use
of elnall potatoes taken from the built
of the crop, year after year, and used
ter "seed will eveutuallY lead to yields
of Inferior potatoes. ,
At potato digging time the great
opportunity for seed Relection is of-
fered. With the product .of each -plant
spread on the eon it is an easy• mat-
ter to select out those plants that have
givea the largest yield of the It:testate-
strable type of potato and are
'free ,from disease, The potatoes from
Such plants ouly should be gathered
and •saved for use as sated the follqw-
ing year. Thee saving of toed at dig-
ging ;time ratty seem •to maay as an
extra burden during a rush of work,
but it is not.
There ais less actual labor attached
to seed +Selection at the time of the
potato barna than there le by prac-
tising Any other method of seed selec-
tion. Furthermore, the results from
helectioa are reasonebly certain
erblett with other methods there is
some apeculation. Pdtato growers
wouid do well to watch closely for ex-
ceptienally good plants. These, her- '
vested and saved apart from the main
crop, may become the granddade of
fine potato Veleta in the future.

Peter Small will never make the
same nalstake again.
Peter Small did not swallow his loss
and eelflehty keep hie story to hills-,
self, He was big enough to tell the
dairy world, so that you and I and
others would not lose as he had lost.
He took his hide to the National
Dairy Sbow laet year, and told the'
story of his mistake.
In the Peter Satan exhibit there
wore five stalls. Four contained cows
Placidly chewing their mule. In the
fifth there hung the hide of the bull
that had sired these cowe. He had
been slaughtered before .Peter
knew what his attughters could do,
That was Peter Small's mistake.
He knows noweRe kept a record of
bi cowe after the bull was killed. He
found out that they averaged 25,210
pound, of milk, and 977.3 pounds of
butterfat? And he had killed the hull
that bad sired -them. He had killed
for meat a bull that was worth at
least e10,000. He had found that out
to late. "

A few years, ago careful farmers
digging out sweet clover with as much
diligeece as perennial sow thistle. To-

such ardent advocatee of sweetclover
that they believe it will finally replace
alfalfa and red clover in popular es-
teem. 'Others seal Insist that sweet
clover Is onlya weede )3oth views are
