FOR PRODUCTION OF
PURE SEED IN IDAHO
EXTENSION DEPARTMENT OF
UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO IS
SUES INSTRUCTIONS
(By B. F. Sheehan.)

That Idaho is an ideal state for the
production of pure seeds of all grain
and leguminous crops is recognized
in all sections of the United States.
Our soil and climatic conditions allow
for the production of seed having a
viability and color not excelled in any
other state.
Eastern and middle western dealers
have looked to Idaho for their supply
of extra quality seed. This seed has
been used to blend with the poorer
colored seed produced east of the
Rockies. Thus, Idaho farmers have
secured the highest market price for
their product. What has been the
result? Because of this demand the
quality of Idaho seed has run down.
Exhorbitant prices have been paid for
seed containing many noxious weed
seeds and as a consequence there has
been little incentive to grow seed
which is pure.
Idaho's reputation for the produc-
ton of pure seed is rapidly slipping
On markets all over the country. This
should not be regarded lightly because
it is a statement Of facts as expressed
by many of the most prominent deal
ers in the country.
One of the most important lessons
some farmers have to learn is to OBJ
tain pure seed and then grow and
care for it in an intelligent manner
Being able to sell the bulk of their
seed at a high price, many Idaho
farmers have gone so far as to use
screenings for their own seeding,
selling all of their good material. This
accounts in a measure for many of
our weedy yields and at best is an
extremely expensive way of practic-
ing economy. 1t is an established
fact that the use of good, clean and
seed gives much better returns
than small, shrunken and impure
seed, all other factors being equal. /,
The use of first class seed and thor
ough tillage of the soil must go hand
in hand if the best results are to be
obtained, because the days of medi-
ocre seed growing as well as of other
mediocre practices in other agricul-
5ural pursuits are long past.
In the production of pure seed the
farmer should have two objects in
when starting: CD To start in
l small way by purchasing good seed
his own use, and (2) to grow all
hat is necessary for his own use and
also a surplus that may be sold to
'armers, local dealers, and seed mer-
Constant care must be ex- {
,rcised from the time the seed is sown
Until it is finally harvested, separated
md delivered to the purchaser, for
)ure seed. {
Often the following questions are I
lsked: (1) Is there a good demand !
choice seeds? (2) Will this de- t
nand be permanent? (3) Will it pay c
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1919-11-06

to grow seed of this class?
To these questions n may answer
by an emphatic Eyes" Owing to the
presence of frost, drouth, ETC., there
always will be local crop failures. In
addition to this there will always
be a large demand from these farm
ers who would prefer buying good
seed to growing it themselves.
The demand of seed firms for pure
seed is one that holds large POSSIBLE
tiles if properly handled.
There is always demand for pure
seed, and the individual or firm who
is in the market for this seed is will
ing to pay the price that such seed
warrants. In various sections of Ida
no individuals and communities have
established a reputation for the pro-
duction of various varieties Of seeds.
AS a consequence, each year they re-
ceive a great many more inquiries
for their seed than they are able to
care for.
Before making a seeding with seed
an unknown quality farmers should
be sure to have it tested. This. work
is done free Of charge and enables
the farmer to know exactly the quail
ty of seed he is purchasing. Samples
should be addressed to the Seed Lab
oratory, State House, Boise, Idaho,
