FARMERS LOSE BY
 USING POOR SEED

Farmers have lost money from de- creased crop yields caused by plant ing poor seed-which did not germi- nate, or certain percentages did not come up so that there was a poor stand This can easily and cheaply be prevented by testing the seed before planting. A plate or rag doll seed tes- ter can easily be made for this pur- pose. The teachers in the rural schools of Cochise and Santa Cruz counties have been asked to cooperate in this matter. The pupils will test the seed under the direction of the teachers and also nave the latest information from the U. $. Department of Agriculture. Give samples of seed which you intend to plant this year to a school boy or girl and request that if be tested This
 will assist You and also be excellent | training, as well as interesting, to the children. Crop seeds should be tested even though you produced them on | your farm last year. This is a part. and valuable part of the business of
 farming. Are you business farmer? Don't forget to plant pure and clean
 seed.-A l.. Paschall. Farm Advisor, coehise- Santa Cruz Counties.
