A. J). Stuart, State College seed I
perlulist and secretary of the North I
'arolina Crop Improvement Assoc la- I
Ion, says germination tests on the I
rat samples of ccrtfied cotton seed I
ftelved are unusually good.
Although certain sections of ttas I
late have poor seed due to rainy I
rim wh.Tqanrtarh ai ?
rs of certified cotton seed, repre- I
entlng 18,740 bushels, show an at I
rage germination of 88 percent*
tuart reported, "ftie N. C. Crop !m j
tovement Association requires that I
otton seed show st least 80 percent I
trmlnntion. In additions to passing^
ertnln field tests, before it can be .1
?rtlfled 2? pure.
The see;? specialist said the Mex- I
an variety strains represented In il
lie 38 tests average 89 percent ger-, ifl
ilnatlon, the Farm Relief strains 80 I
ercent, and the Coker strains 87 I
ercent. The "wilt resistant varieties]I
>lxie Triumph and Clevewilt, aver- I
ge 90 per cent. "These results are I
ery encouragng as our germination I
ssts for the past few years have I
een rather low," Stuart declared.
There are available approximately I
G.000 bushels of . certltted ootton I
otton seed; In North Carolina. "All
