Overview

Excerpt from Pedigreed Seeds for Progressive Growers, 1929 Progress characterizes American farming to-day not withstanding all the talk about depression and grief. While many are still bewailing the misfortunes of agriculture and seeking a political nostrum, the industry itself is moving steadily toward better times. Progress is being made with the in creasing use of better machines, better strains of crops, better fertilizing materials, better methods for pest control, better feeding methods, better live stock, better systems of farming, better marketing information and more comforts and conveniences in the farm homes. Not all is done yet but no other period in history has seen so much progress in agriculture as the pre sent. Not the least important factor in this progress, is the use of better strains-of our common 'crops. Most of these have been produced by plant breeders and pathologists at our experiment stations and some by farmers. Some were chance findings, some the result of long patient selection, and others were produced by artificially crossing different strains in order to com bine a desired feature of one with good features of the other. The results are not only interesting but also of great value. Just as modern farm machines, tractors and trucks speed up our work, save labor and lower costs, so also do these present day improved varieties of crops enable us to produce at lower cost, greater profit and also with more satisfaction.
