While <one can usually select finer looking heads from stand- ing plants, this method has not always been found the most practicable, espec- ially if one is looking only for typical and well developed heads. Selections of heads of the above sort from sheaves may be made more rapidly and quite satisfactorily. Such heads are also likely to be better 'filled' than are heads selected and separated from the straw in the field before the plant is properly 'cured.' This applies particularly to selections made from crops grown in the interior of the country rather from those produced in a Maritime District. Where the member is not devoting more than say 20 or 30 acres to the production of Registered Seed of a given variety, it will usually pay him to produce enough Elite Stock Seed each year, to sow the entire area the follow- ing year. By this arrangement all the seed he may offer for sale will be "First-Generation Registered Seed," the grade or class which is most in demand. He will also be spared the trouble of keeping seed of different generations separate.
