PORT PERRY, JAN. 21, 1904. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE! Commissioner's Branch, OTTAWA, Jan. 14, 1904. The Breeding of Grain. Good work has been done along Various lines by the Dominion De- partment of Agriculture and by some of the Provincial Departments of Agriculture in Canada with a view to encourage the use of high class seed of the best varieties, but there is yet room for considerable increase in the average yield of common field crops by the use of better seed grain. The object of forming associa- tions of 'seed growers may not be perfectly clear to all. The idea may be new in Canada, but there are associations of seed growers in several other countries, such as the Illinois Seed Corn Growers' Associa- tion that are doing good work. The benefits derived from associations of breeders of Jive stock are pretty well understood. The advantagos to be derived from organized efforts on the part of seed growers are not dissimilar to those which breeders of pure bred live stock obtain through their associations, and the general operations of an organiza- tion of seed growers are similar to those of live stock associations. Associations of beeders of pure bred stock fix a standard which must be attained before animals will be recognized as pure bred. In fixing standards of excellence for "pedigreed asimils the principles _wecognized. The same principles hat are appliedin the improvement ' "are also applied in the ment of farm crops.
