Among the causes of failure may be mentioned unfa- vourable weather, which is one of the most Important. The soil may be in proper condition when the seed is planted, but the weather which | follows may be too wet, which will cause the seed to rot; or it may be too hot and dry, which destroys the germ before it shows itself. The soil may also be unfavourable for the variety of seed planted. And lastly, the seeds may be and are frequently destroyed by vermin of various kinds. Such occurrences are beyond the power of man to prevent, and for which we cannot be responsible.
