CERTIFIED SEED ARE
FROM RELIABLE GROWERS
Crop seeds offered growers as be
ing one or two years from the breed
er are not always kept up to the
lilgh standard required by the North
Carolina Crop Improvement Assof
station and when such seed are not
sertlfied, they are likely to prove
i disappointment. -
"A good example of this was giv
sn this spring when certain barley
tnd oat crops were Inspected," says
Qordon K. Mlddleton, seed special
ist at State College. "The fields
were found to be badly Infestcfl
irlth wild onions and the oats
showed considerable vtarietaJ mlxV
ture due to a volunteer crop from
a preceding planting. The growr
sr did not realise that such a con
dition existed but when told that
the seed could not be certified, he
replied that he would advertise
them as on* year from the breeder.
He reminded the Inspector that his
cotton seed was reftfMd certifica
tion last year but that he had no
difficulty In disposing of his sur
plus seed."
Another grower, says Mlddleton,^
a different experience. This
nton produced and sold 600 bush
el* of tine certified wheat last year,
lie did not get a complain and those
who bought from him wanted more.
S4me regretted that they had
bought only enough for a seed patch.
This man rendered a service to his
community and was proud of his
accomplishment.
(The first man, who sold mixed
seed, was helping to hold down the
cipp improvement work In his com
munity. Certification does not make
the seed any better but does estab
lish their reliability and given two
growers with seed from the same
breeder, the man whose crop passes
aU certification tests, certainty has
the best seed. Mr. Middleton finds
that alert farmers are now demand
ing Improved seed and are asking
that these be from reliable sources.
Those men whose crops pass the
certification tests might sell their
seed at a slightly higher price bat
the results more than p?y for this
charge, he says.
Skiing has been known In Nor
way as a means of travel since an
cient tlme3, but It became a sport
only about sixty years ago.
Two Currituck County pastures
planted with the same seed mixture
at the same tithe show a remarkable
difference in stand and growth due
to the application of 300 pounds per
acre of phosphate on one of them.
MRS. R. H. OGBURN WILL BE GLAD
