This brings up again the question as to whether this wheat may be used for seeding, pur- poses. i *Rust is not carried on the seed,” says A. C. Arny, in charge of farm crops at the Minnesota experiment station at University Farm. “There- fore, there need be no hesitancy in using this grain. for seed in 1921 provided a few precautions are taken. Badly shrunken seed is not suitable for'sowing and if the seed is discol- ored it certainly should not be used|" for planting purposes. But if the wheat is bright in color and 'the! kernels average mnearly as heavy as the small plump seed of a normal crop, it may be considered suitable for use for planting, provided it is ', of a suitable variety, free or capable of being fre¢ed from the seed of nox- ‘| GOMPERS UP IN THE AIR .

They are here seen stopplng a man and examining a bag he is carrying. ious weeds and sufficiently high -in total germination and strength of ger- mination. “Seed of a mixture of varieties 'should not be used. ; Humpback, a common spring wheat, and red dur- ums should not be used because of the discrimination against them on the market. It is much more difficult to separate all noxious weed used from shrunken seed than from plump seed. If the weed seeds cannot be removed no consideration should be given the grajn for seed. “Slightly shrunkenwheat of a suit- able variety, free from noxious weed seeds, and 'high and strong in germi- nation, mag be used ‘for sowing in 1921 with satisfactory results.’ Take the time pow. to gee if your wheat meets these requirements. If it does not, the sooner you,secure suitable seed the better: “All who havergood seed wheat should market it as seed wheat’ rather than market grain until the deman dis supplied.” - Farm crop authorities regard,hle germination test as, very important. If the facilities are not at hand to make reliable tests at home the high school instructor or the county agent may be able to_give aid., The.seed Iahorutori): at University Farm, St. Paul, makes tests free of charge.
