CROP INSPECTION
| FOR SEED PURPOSES

To all seed growers and persons
having seed plots and seed fields from
which they expect to harvest seed for
the season Of 1919.
War conditions have affected our
plans for field crop inspection for this
season. We have been unable to pro-
cure the young men for the direct in
spection from this Office. Arrange
ments have been made with the Agri-
cultural Extension Division whereby,
as seed commissioner, / have author
lied each county agent to make the
field examinations. All North Dako-
ia Improved Seed Growers, and 9TH
er persons, who have been cooper
ating with this Office, should there
fore apply. to their county agent for
field crop inspection of any special
fields which they expect to harvest for
seed purposes. AS far as possible the
county agent will visit your fields
and make the inspection for weeds
and diseases. Those wishing such in
spection should apply at once to this
Office, or direct to your local county
agent.
In counties in which there are no
county agents the Office of the state
seed commissioner will, in so far as
possible, send inspectors either to in
spect the grain in the field, in the
shock or in the bin. All those who
claim to have pure or pedigreed seed
should look at their fields now. OBJ
serve carefully if there are any scat
tering heads or admixtures. For in
stance, in the Kubanka wheat plots,
/ all heads sof common wheat should .be
pulled out. In the sMarkuis fields all
Durum and bread varieties, etc. This
is a suggestion to those who wish to
60 into the improved or pure seed
business. "
The office of the state seed commits
sioner has authority to publish list
of those who have saved seed for sale
for sowing purposes. We send that
list to all person who wish to buy
either for use or for distribution. We
cannot do this unless those who raise
seed take proper steps to put US in
touch with the quality Of the seed
We must know how free it is from
other varieties and from noxious
weeds and disease.
After the seed has been filed CROP
inspected by the county agent or by
an inspector from the pure seed lab.
oratory, the next step for the grower
is to carefully harvest the seed dry
so it will maintain its vitality. Stack
or properly protect that which is tt
be sold for seed.
AS soon as the grain is threshed
one-half pound of it should be mailed
in to the pure seed laboratory fol
tests which are necessary to the fina
certification and listing. Bags fol
| mailing these samples will be fur
nished on application.
