j QUESTION: What is the out
look for the seed supply In North
Carolina this year?
ANSWER: The demand ox
voeds the supply, says R. P.
Moore director of the Crop Im
provement. Association at State
College.
"Most dealers are reporting: a
limit on the volume of seed they
'll be able to get this year, and
seed growers say the demand is
greater than their supply*"
Moore says that your 'best bet
for obtaining seed now is the
local, dealer, sine*1 most produce
rs are having to allot their limit
ed supply to regular customers,.
Moore ha." a special warning
about soybean and corn seed
"Be careful in purchasing say
bean r?ed, even If they are certi
fied. (Many lots of seed show low
of cold injury in hi id -October.'
You should use no soybeans
for seed unless you know their
germination.
The Crop Improvement office
has found it necessary. in order
to correctly label superior sour
ces of seed, to use yellow cor ?
fification tags to show that
germination of 80 per cent or
better. . ,
SC'ed of adapted cofix hybrids
is limited in supply, and grow
ors are advised to make use of
any grades available, including
round grades. Moore reports.
Round grades will give just as
good a crop stand as flat grades,
however, planter plates should
he carefully selected ' for all
grade's, since high yields of corn
requite good stands as well as
?;ood M.'rds. ?, '? . . .
