PRODUCTION Of
CLEAN SEED IS
NOW ESSENTIAL
Idaho Growers Face AL
ternative Of Producing
High Quality Product
or Fail to Market Crop.

Boise.-1daho seed growers face
the necessity of producing pure seed
It they wish to find market, accord
ing statements by c. B. Allison,
assistant field agronomist of the uni
versity extension division, who says
that. though the market has been open
to poor seed in the past, only those
men are receiving any return. this
season who are offering products that
are free from the seeds of noxious
weeds. Programs of Minidokz, Twin
Falls, Jerome and Bingham county
farm bureaus for fighting weeds, to-
gether with mention of the prevalence
OF weeds IN Boise valley, are con-
tanned in Mr. Ahlson's statement.
which is IS follows.
Heretofore the farmers of Idaho
have not been placed in a position
to realize the importance of pure seed,
with particular reference in small
seeds such as clover and alfalfa. The
producers of clean seed have not been
rewarded for the work necessary to
keep their fields free from foul weeds.
Whys Because during the last few
: seasons the demand and the competi-
tive bidding brought high price for
the tou1est of foul seed lots. Under
these conditions there was no incen-
tixe to produce clean seed for other
reasons than personal pride.
Good Seed Finds Market.
How is the seed business this year? /?
Only the men who have succeeded
in producing nothing but seed that
Is dodder-free, buckhorn-free, and
free from other noxious weeds are
able to receive any returns this sea-
son.
What is to be done? Who is to
blamef The dealer and farmer are
equally to blame-the dealer, because
he has paid the farmer exorbitant
prices for seed that is not fit to plant.
and the farmer because he has not in
sisted on pure. state-tested seed, but
has taken the chance of purchasing
seed from neighbors who have not
secured a test and consequently could
not give assurance that seed was free
from noxious weeds. Before plant
ing. half pint sample should be sent
to the state seed laboratory, Boise,
or branch laboratory, Moscow, Idaho.
for analysis. Such analysis will re-
veal whether the seed is free from
dodder. which is the most noxious
and difficult weed seed to find in
lot Of alfalfa or clover.
Suffer for Negligence.
The movement has been toward
the production of clean seed. Idaho
used to be the dumping ground for
all foul seed and as a result this state
has nearly every variety that is detri-
mental to the seed industry. Last

year grades were established on clover
and alfalfa. Other states also are
fast refusing to become dumping
grounds for poor seed. and conse-
quently only seed from noxious weeds
is finding a market
Inspection of samples submitted to

state seed laboratory. Boise, repre-
senting IS carloads of clover and al
falfa seed from Boise valley showed
that only Is carloads were dodder
free. In other words. 66 per cent of
the farmers had seed that the dealers
refused to consider buying at this
time.
No noteworthy results can be OBJ
tained until all will make a concerted
effort in waging war on our weed
enemies. One farmer may purchase
state tested seed, plant it on carefully
prepared soil and then fall heir to a
flood of noxious weed seed, because
his neighbors failed to clean the ditch
banks and irrigation canals. Such
results are discouraging. Farmers
should petition the county commits
sions to establish weed districts. The
determination of weeds-is as essen
tial to profitable farming As the ex-
termination of jack rabbits and ro-
dents The weed question is beeom-
ing a serious problem, as any clover
or alfalfa grower can tell you this
year. If this condition is allowed to
continue. Idaho will no longer top
the list in production of bright color
ed and high quality seed.
Two Counties Act.
Weed districts were established by
the county commissioners in two
this year. The establishing
Of district makes it compulsory for
the farmer within the designated area
to destroy the weeds. Ditch banks
were. fenced and stocked with sheep
and as a consequence no seeds ma
tured on these enclosures to be dis
seminated through the various bitches
and canals. Grover Burnett, county
agricultural agent, held weed excur-
sions during the growing season, thus
acquaihking the farmer with the many
common and noxious weeds. Prof
r. K. Bennett of the university and
Miss Jessie c. Ayres, state seed an
alyst, spent a couple of weeks in the
fields identifying weeds and explain
ing methods of eradication to farm
ers who attended the excursions and
were interested in producing better
crops.
Excursions were also held in Twin
Falls county with creditable results.
This county took first and sec
ond in alfalfa and first in red
clover seed at the International Hay
and Grain show at Chicago, Novem-
Der n to December 4. Only seed
freed from weeds could receive such
rating. The results obtained by es-
weed districts have been
very commendable.
The campaign should and will be
far more extensive this coming year.
One of County Agricultural Agent
H. G. Avery's principal projects for
this coming year in Jerome county
will be the working out of an ex-
tensive weed program. This will in
clude the fencing of ditch banks and
stocking the enclosures with sheep

method of destroying weeds.
