HOME GROWN SEEO WHEAT IS BEST
3y R. Y. Winters, Division of Agron
omy, N. C. Experiment Station,
West Raleigh, X C
It is a custom among some wheat
growers to secure new seed from
States further north every few years.
It is claimed by these growers that
wheat deteriorates when grown here
several years in succession. Some
even believe that a pan of the wheat
turns to cheat. The seed gotten from
further north is said to yield better
than the home-grown seed when plant
ed here.
Home-Grown and Northern Grown
Seed Wheat Compared.
In order to secure information on
this point the Experiment Station and
State Department of Agriculture have
compared the yields from home-grown
and northern grown seed wheat of the
eame varieties. Several varieties have
been compared and in each case the
home-grown seed was compared witu
the same variety of northern grown
seed. The comparisons were made
at the Mountain Branch Station near
Asheville and at the Piedmont Branch
Station near Statesville.
Results at the Mountain Station.
The comparisons of home-grown
and northern grown seed wheat at the
Mountain Branch Station were made
for three successive years. In thir
teen comparisons during three years
the home-grown seed produced at the
rate of 16.5 bushels per acre while the
northern grown seed produced 12.72
bushels per acre or 3.78 bushels per
acre less than the home-grown seed.
Bus. per acre
Yield from home-grown
seed 16.5
Yield from northern

Increase due to use of
home-grown seed .... 3.78
The results of the 1914 test were
even more striking. In this compari
son the home-grown seed produced
6.4 bushels per acre more than the
northern grown.
Results at the Piedmont Branch
Station.
Similar results were gotten at the
Piedmont Branch Station. During
three years (1914-1916) twenty-three
comparisons were made between home
grown and northern grown seed of the
same varieties. In these tests the
home-grown seed produced at the rate
of 16.01 bushels per acre while the
northern grown seed produced 15.26
bushels. This gives an average of three
pecks per acre in favor of the home
grown seed. The test of 1914 contain
ed 13 comparisons in which the home
grown seed averaged 1.3 bushels per
acre more than the northern grown.
Results from Another State.
Similar questions have arisen in
other states. The following paragraph
from Bulletin 137 of the Utah Experi
ment Station gives a summary of their
results when home-grown and out-side
seed wheat were compared: "It is a
common practice for big grain grow
ers to send away annually for seed
wheat. In tnis manner large quanti
ties of seed wheat are annually im
ported into the intermountain region,
under the mistaken impression that
the home-grown seed is inferior in
quality. The results of this investiga
tion, therefore, are of utmost practi
cal importance. The practice of ship
ping in seed wheat is entirely unnec
essary and wasteful. The quality of
the home-grown hard wheats is really
superior to the original seed. Good
'pure wheat seed should be selected of
the kind the grower desires to raise.
He should then continue to raise his
own seed and with proper selection he
may rest assured that the quality of
the seed will not become inferior, but
he may have every confidence that his
?wheat is of superior quality." ?
Deterioration or "Running Out" of
4 Seed Wheat,
The above results from three years
comparison of home-grown and north
ern grown seed wheat clearly indicate
that home-grown seed are preferable.
If this be true what does .cause deteri
oration in seed wheat? The condition
known as deterioration or "running
out" of seed wheat is usually due to
poor care of the seed. Too often our
wheat fields are infested with wild
onions, cheat, mustard, and other
weeds. Wheat containing seed of such
weeds is unfit for seed purposes.
Wheat that is damaged in the field,
stored wet, or stored in damp bins
?will soon become unfit for seed pur
poses. Such conditions would cause
deterioration of seed wheat in any sec
tion of the country.
How Can One Secure the Best Seed
Wheat.
The best variety of wheat for a sec
tion is one that has been chosen on
! account of its high yield and quality,
and then further improved in the lo
cality by -Electing seed from the best
plants. One can easily select suffi
cient good seed from a field to plant a
i seed patch. A small seed patch could
be kept free from wild onions and mix
tures of other grains. By this method
one could be sure of producing the
best seed for his section.
What Can Be Done Now.
The high price of wheat is likely to
| result in a shortage of home-grown
seed for planting this fall. This may
be avoided by saving the best seed
now. Growers who have good seed
should have the best for planting this
fall. Seedsmen of the state who have
not yet collected their supply should
use every effort to secure the best
North Carolina grown seed. Millers
who have good seed wheat grown in
the state may benefit themselves and
the growers of their community by
saving the beet seed. _

COTTON GRADING SERVICE
IS NOW VERY IMPORTANT
.
ABNORMAL TIMES DEMAND THAT
ALL COTTON IN NORTH CARO
LINA BE GRADED.
By O. J. McConnell, Cotton Grading
Division of Markets, Agricultural
Extension Service, West Ral
eigh, N. C.
It will probably be surprising to the
farmers in those counties not having
the grading service last season to
J learn that more than one-half of the
cotton raised in North Carolina last
year was better than Middling. The
mills bought this cotton as being bet
ter than middling and probably paid
$500,000 more for it than they would
have paid for middling. Did the far
mers in your county get better than
the Middling price for more than one
half their cotton? On the answer to
this question depends the answer to
whether it will pay your county to se
cure the services of an official grader.
The cost to the counties Is very low,
varying in amount with the number of
bales produced. The actual grading is
done by men in the joint employ of
the State and Federal Agricultural
authorities, but some assistance from
counties is necessary and the follow
ing amounts will be required from
each county served:
Alamance, $10; Alexander, $20; An
son, $250; Beaufort. $100; Bertie, $100;
Bladen, $100; Brfinswick. $10; Cabar
rus, $100; Camden, $5&; Carteret, $20;
Catawba. $75; Chatham. $75; Chowan',
$50; Cleveland, $200; Columbus, $100;
Craven, $75; Cumberland, $250; Curri
tuck. $10; Davidson, $10; Davie, $16;
Duplin, $100; Durham, $10; Edge
combe, $250; Franklin, $100; Gaston,
$75; Gates, $50; Granville, $10; Greene!
$100; Halifax, $250; Harnett, $200;
Hertford, $100; Johnston, $250; Jones,
$75; Lee, $75; Lenoir, $150; Lincoln,
$75; Martin, $100; Mecklenburg, $250;
Montgomery, $50; Moore, $25; Nash,
$250; Northampton, $175; Onslow, $75;
Orange, $10; Pamlico, $75; Pasquo
tank. $50; Pender, $23; Perquimans,
$<5; Pitt, $250; Polk, $10; Randolph,
$10; Richmond. $175; Robeson, $250;
Rowan. $75; Rutherford, $100; Samp
son. $250; Scotland, $250; Stanly, $75;
(Tyrrell, $10; Union, $L'f50; Vance, $25;
Wake. $210; Warren, $100; Washing
ton, $25; Wayne, $250; Wilson, $250.
It now appears that owing to the
growing freight congestion North Car
olina mills will be compelled to use
more cotton that is grown locally than
has been the case heretofore. Farm
ers who have had their cotton offi
cially graded will be in much better
position to reap the Denefits that this
should bring about thar those who are
"Selling a Pig In a Poke" insofar as
they are concerned.
The grading service gives the foun
dation for successrul marketing, viz.,
standardization according to a univer
sal standard. Standarization provided,
only one prime requisite remains
Quantity? which can be obtained by
pooling or selling together.
It cannot be too strongly impressed
upon all concerned that the cotton
grading service Is merely applying one
of business' efficient methods to the
farmers end of the proposition and
that to get good service proper provis
ion must be made in time to enable
the ( otton Grading office to prepare
to render it.
Enquiries relative to Cotton Grad
ing and Marketing will receive prompt
attention If directed to O. J. McCon
nell. Agricultural Eitension Service
