CERTIFIED
SEED POTATOES

- OOOh, L AcAAL dluOlORlSl OI
the New Jersey Experiment Station,
upon his return from a meeting of
plant pathologists at Presque Isle, Me-,
reports some interesting facts con-
corning movement for certified seed
potatoes.
The prevalence of diseases in the
New Jersey potato crop which tend to
reduce the yield is continually becom-
ing more evident to the growers. Many
Oh these diseases are carried on the
seed, and they vary in severity from
year to year with the character of the
seed and the weather conditions. Dur
ing the past season the rhizoctina has
been the cause of more loss than US,
ual. The black leg has been less Sc
we're than for some years past. Mo-
sale, curly dwarf, and leaf roll have
been found in the state for the first
time
The recognized losses due to these
diseases have resulted in an increased
demand on the part of the growers for
seed which is more vigorous, free from
disease, and true to name.
The majority of our growers are de-
pendent on the dealers at the point of
origin and the point of destination of
the seed. Many of these dealers visit
northern points and make personal
examinations of the seed, but these
precautions do not necessarily result
In vigorous healthy seed. This is due
to the following facts: ID the persons
making the examination frequently
lack the necessary technical know
ledge to recognize inconspicuous dis
eases which cause reductions in yield;
Cd the examination is frequently
made late in the season or after dig
ging, when it is impossible to recog-
nize foliage diseases which reduce the
yield; and (3) many dealers and grow
ers are more interested in the price
than in the quality of the seed.
The growing demand for better seed
Is being met in some northern locali-
ties my manyAseed producers, who are
growing seed subject to the supervi-
sion of state authorities. Inspections
are made (D at blossoming time, (2)
as late as possible before ripening, and
(3) after digging. The presence of
certain percentage of diseased plants,
or certain percentage of weak plants
or a certain percentage of variety
mixtures will cause the field to be re-
iected for certification. Fields that
meet the requirements are certified,
and the seed sold in sealed bags, each
carrying copy of the certificate. This
certificate should not be confused with
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
certificate, which applies to powdery
scab only. The expense of inspection
is borne by the grower.
Some certified seed was used in New
Jersey in 1915, and in most cases the
resulting crop was better than the crop
grown from ordinary seed. The fu-
ture of certified seed will depend, in
large measure, upon the support
which northern growers receive from
growers in New Jersey and other
states. 1t is hoped that the New Jer-
sey growers will use certified seed
for at least a part of their crop in
1916. The New Jersey Agricultural
Experiment Station will be very glad
to answer inquiries concerning certi-
fed seed.

Church, Takoma Park. Mrs. Edith
kingman Kern, of the Board Of Edu-
cation, presented the diplomas. Before
