The student will be ledto make special study of the circumstances influencing the vitalityof seeds; methods and time of seeding the different crops; effect ofthick and thin seeding on moisture conditions of the siol and thematuring plants; value and importance of careful seed selection;history, culture and economic use and value of the different forage,grain and root crops adapted to Colorado soils and climate. Ouraltitude and latitude conditions, our methods of irrigation andfarming non-irrigated lands make the selection of particular cropsadapted to our conditions an essential factor to our Threshing Experimental Grain on the College Farm. Certain types of grain show good quality and satisfactoryyields when grown on the mountain mesas in higher , also, certain root and forage crops show remarkable adaptibil-ity. The crops on our plains at low altitudes have different con- 12 State: Agricultural College. ditions and changed environments, hence different varieties of thesame crops are required. The soil and climatic conditions, together with the growinghabit and use of the plants, must determine the selection of everycrop for any section of the State of Colorado. The crop conditionsin one section differ so materially from those prevailing in anotherthat we must carefully study the field crops in order to choosethose best adapted to our crop conditions and our needs. Thismakes the matter of variety and seed selection highly important. The improvement of crops and of special crops adapted to par-ticular regions of Colorado will be considered in this course, and
