SELECTION OF SEED HOWV V
The great basis of the important dis
coveries of the naturalist Darwin are 1
summed (up in the term) "Natural Se- 1
lection." The idea is that the exter
nal circumstances of nature! are in a"
continual .state of chantre.1 and thai .
plants and. animals have bcelr endow
ed with a priuciple of slow ibut con
stant rariition,. somewhat related to
the change in their external lurronnd-; ,
ings. Amongthese variations are some!

called NaSural Select ion. There -are '
therefore in the vegetable and animal. !

are, the .other endearing to modify

any adventitious strength is afforded it. 7
Thejvlue of this principle to us is '
in its application to selection for seed
