GUARANTEED HOME
GROWN SEED BEST

Seed guaranteed by the state OF
Wisconsin is better than seed guar
anteed" in the Autographed pages OF
mail-order catalogues.
At present potato growers are the
only persons who can purchase their
seed stock under state guaranty,
and many of them are beginning to
realize this advantage and are acting
upon it.
Last season there were LOG potato
fields producing more than $4,000
bushels which earned the 20. K" Of
the states inspection service, admin
istered through the horticultural de-
partment, University Of Wisconsin.
The varieties included in this certi-
fed seed are Rural New Yorker, Green
Mountain, Burbank, Russell Burbank,
Early Ohio, Irish Cobbler and Peer
less The accompanying map shows
where the guaranteed potatoes were
grown.
A glance at the map reveals the fact
that most Of this seed stock was
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1916-04-13

grown in the northern part of the
state, which speaks well for its vi
tally and hardness.
Holders of certificates are directly
responsible to the state for the quail
ity of the potatoes they send out I'M
der the guaranty Special care has
been taken to adopt standard which
is consistent with the possibilities OF
potato production in Wisconsin, and
farmers whose names are on the GER
titled list are expected to make
good
Certified stock is not selected in
such uniform size and shape as exhi-
bition stock. This common misun-
derstanding should be corrected. Good
seed stock under the guaranty will
range from three to seven ounces, and
il free from variety mixtures or dis
eases.

treatment used in Wisconsin. The
first, which is recommended for bar
ley, consists of mixing one pint of for
malin with 80 gallons of water, tenn
perature 60 degrees F. The seed is
soaked in gunny sacks for two hours,
then drained on Stats placed over bar
rels or tanks to prevent wasting the
solution. The grain is then dried on a
clean floor by stirring with a rake or
shovel. Caution is taken to avoid
freezing the grain, which might de-
stroy the termination.
The other process, used for oats, rye
and wheat, makes use of 35 gallons of
water to a pint of formalin. Instead
of soaking the seed for two hours as
before, it is merely dipped into the SO
luton and held for five minutes. This
shorter treatment is also sometimes
used for barley, and will reduce the
smut and strip diseases, although not
as likely to destroy them as the two
hour treatment.
Full directions for treating seed
grains to kill smut is given in a cir.
cular which is being sent from the ag
ricultural experiment station, Madi-
son, to residents of the state who ap,
ply for it.
The formaldehyde treatment, how
ever, is not "cure-all and without
strong terminating grain and prop
erly prepared seedbed its use will be
a disappointment.
