If some of the rows are more affected by rust or smut than others, these also should be carefully noted. Exceptionally good rows should be marked so that all the seed from them may be saved. At harvest time each row that has shown promise should be harvested separately, tagged with the row number, and allowed to dry for threshing. If this work is to be followed carefully it is well to cut practically every row. However, it is not necessary to harvest those rows that are badly affected by disease or that show a great tendency to ledge. The check rows should be harvested, and their position in the plat should be noted so that the yields of the selected head rows near by may be compared with the check yields. When a strain that will produce good yields cf both grain and straw is desired, it is well to weigh the product of the rows before it is threshed. cv oi •3 Y v/ C J. lo 7 <t <7 iO II IA 13 '1 /S C* Fig. 107.—Plan for planting head rows cf oats This weighing can.
