Digitized by VjOOQIC THE POSSIBILITIES OF AGRICULTURE. 99 wheats than the English ought to be experimented upon for obtaining prolific varieties; namely, the quickly- growing Norwegian wheat, the Jersey "three months' wheat," or even Yakutsk barley, which matures with an astonishing rapidity. And now that horticulturists, so experienced in " breeding " and " crossing " as Vilmorin, Carter, Sherif, W. Saunders in Canada and many others are, have taken the matter in hand, we may feel sure that fu...ture progress will be made. But breeding is one thing ; and the planting wide apart of seeds of an appro- priate variety of wheat is quite another thing. This last method was lately experimented upon by M. Grandeau, Director of the Station Agronomique de TEst, and by M. Florimond Desspriz at the experi- mental station of Capelle ; and in both cases the results were most remarkable. At this last station a method which is in use in France for the choice of seeds was applied. Already now some French farmers go over their wheat-fields before the crop begins, choose the soimdest plants which bear two or three equally strong stems, adorned with long ears, well stocked with grains, and take these ears.
