NEWER AND BETTER VARIETIES OE I’AI'M CROPS Farmers know that an adapted variety constitutes one of the most important links in the chain of events in the production of any crop. It may well prove to Ik the “weak link” in the chain that greatly limits the ultimate yielding power of a soil. An extreme case of this came to

To bo best adapted a crop variety must first be true to type it must represent only oae type, not a mixtuie of different or divergent typf-s - and, secondly, it must be capable of producing the maximum yield every year on the farm on which it ia giown. Unless unusual care is exercised, crop varieties will become mixed in the natural round of events in farming and thus lose their identity.

Thir: is where the newer and better j varieties come Into the crop produc-; tion picture. The plant breeder is ccnstciUly developing new varieties looking toward hi tier fitness bettei a 'aptation. ami increased efficiency. The Agricultural Experiment Station is testing these newer and better varieties to make sure of their superiority over the older varieties which are grown side by side in comparison. As better varieties are revi alcd, and | their superior qualities determined, | pure seed stocks are multiplied an.I made available to farmer s. These higher yielding, better adapte i var | ictics thus may replace that “weak j iird^” in the chain in helping the i grower to keep the crop producing I pows r of this farm up to the point j of highest efficiency. This was never better illustrate ! i than in the use of hybrid corn, that! has become a well established prac-1 lice on the average corn belt farm j of today. Newer and better varieties' m the last analysis help to offset | that downward trend in yield that J threatens every farm r who is not on the alert in all his cropping methods.
