among fine lands and fine cotton

forty to fifty bushels or more per

Now the example of Mr. Collier,
whose work in corn-breeding in
Marylaud I have mentioned, ^
shows that it is perfectly posfible
to eliminate this tendency to
make barren plants. Why should Comn
farmers keep cn losing from 10 We
to 24 percent of thoir corn by but w
planting poorly bred seed' When reasoi
a man has a growth that would 0'1 i?
make fully fifty bushels per acre, t)ur f

the tendency to barrenness in this li

fields of Mecklenburg there will er it f
be many thousands of bushels ot e>-t mi
corn lost this year because they a '10?
have planted seed that has in
herited the habit of producing ^
barren plants.
In the cotton fields we passed I
1 saw the same tendency. With ! publis
a tine growth of cotton, 1 could forthc
see all over many fields the tall, and 1
long-limbed plants shooting up | appea
above the others, and I could lesion
warrant that not oi,e ot those Colun
