Growers Contest
Was a Big Success

I ence with those who grew the seeds.
At the closing day Of the contest
an auction sale was conducted Of all
samples of seed showing scores high
enough to justify their use as seed.
Peck samples Of grain were sold at
prices ranging from 80 cents to $2.10.
No doubt had this sale been more
widely advertised the bidding would
have been much more general. AS it
was. the proceeds of the sale netted
a very nice sum to be turned into the
treasury Of the seed growers aSso-
citation. The most important phase Of
this. however, is hat the best samples
were bought by men who expect to
start seed plots to be conducted I'M
der the auspices Of the pure SEED lab
OratoIy as arranged for under para
graph S, section 3 of the Seed Con-
troll act. These men will plant these
plots with the understanding that
they will be visited by experts from
the pure seed laboratory during the
season when the grain is headed u
and who will aid them with regard to
purifying the plots to only one kind
Of grain.
Finally when the plots are enlarged
and increased, those who wish may
have them certified and sealed under
the seed control act. Thus, there has
been started a plan of work extending
u OAA NAAS - %LAS u u SSCu
law to the standardization Of certain
types Of high grade seed whereby
when seed Is once in the bag it may
pass through any number Of hands and
yet reach the hands of the final user
In such condition that he is practical
ly certain he has the original seed
from which a particular man made a.
reputation.
1t is important to notice that the
law was broadly written in it's plan.
1t is SO shaped that any grower may
seal seed under lead seal under his
own name and make use of the certi-
ficate numbers as issued by the pure
seed laboratory, If he complies with
the requirements as specified in the
ing and standardizing seeds from
properly grown seed plots is now be-
ing carried out. .'..
During The spring of 1913 approxi-
mately $500. bushels of seed was so
sealed. Very few farmers are prepar-
ed to meet the requirements for puri-
ty set for improved" Of "pedigreed"
seed. But many farmers are now MAX
ing application to have their seed plots
properly inspected during the coming
year. Sufficient plots were examined
during the growing season of 1918 to
make it evident that the entire plan
Of standardization of seeds can be
placed upon a practical working basis,
From now N, it will be possible to
greatly aid the growers n seedsmen
to procure seeds reliably named and
Of standard quality. The amount that
can be placed in this form will depend
entirely upon the capability of the in
dividual growers who start with seed
nlots and take care of the seed at
harvest time in such name as to
have it not only Of high grade as to-,
purity n variety, but Of high grade
termination. "
