Size of seed for planting. — Several experiments have shown that by separating and planting only the heavy seed, the percentage of germination is notably increased. A better stand results and a larger yield is sometimes obtained. It does not follow that because the largest seed within a given variety are superior to the smaller seed, that variety is best which has the largest seed. Indeed the opposite is often true; the high percentage of Hnt that is frequently found in varieties with small seed often makes them more productive of lint than varie- ties with large Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Duggar, J.
