. The Canadian Seed Growers' Association and its work ... Seeds. 23 Superintendents of Experimental Stations, the Agronomists and Horticul- turists of Agricultural Colleges, the District Representatives of the Dominion Seed Branch, and the Secretary of the Association, who acts as chairman. This arrangement implies that all new varieties must be thoroughly tested and must prove their superiority to the satisfaction of the committee before being recommended for Registration in the records of the Association. Having decided upon the variety, the next step is to procure a quantit\- of so-called '^Elite Stock Seed'' of that variety. By the term ''Elite Stock Seed'' is meant seed which has been specially selected in accordance with definite rules as herebelow stated, and which is regarded by the Executi\e Council of the Association to be worthy of multiplication and distribution. (See Definition of Terms, p. 48). This seed may often be obtained from another member who has been operating for a number of years and who has a supply of such seed on hand, or it may sometimes be had from an Experi- mental Station. Where Elite Stock Seed or its immediate progeny can be obtained in the beginning, the work of the new member is ver>- much simplified, since his future concern will consist chiefly in keeping the sort pure and multiplying it under the inspection and direction of the Association. Seed obtained in this way will be accepted for Registration in the records of the Association from the beginning and will be gi\"en a certain standing. Production of '' Elite Stock ;. Photo by J.
