2a ACRES PASS cERTIFIcATIoN
Last Years Acreage of Certified Seed
Potatoes Trebled Through Efforts Of
Farm Bureau.

- ~
Bennington County now stands sixth
in the acreage Of certified seed pota-
toes. The second inspection Of the po-
tato fields, listed for certifcHtion by
the Strife Department Of Agriculture,
has been completed and about half the
fields have survived the test.
Through the efforts Of the Farm
Bureau, some 700 bushel Of certified
seed were brought into the County in
the spring and distributed on % farms.
Forty-three acres were listed for in
spection July 1st and about 81 acres
passed the first test, the other fields
being thrown out because Of the mad
visibility Of roughing after inspec-
ton.
At the second inspection, three fields
were thrown out because there was
too great a percentage Of disease,
principally leafroll and mosaic, one
field because Of its proximity to un-
certified seed and another because Of
early dying, caused by potash hunger.
Twenty-Five acres have been certi-
fed by the State Department. The
successful growers with the acreage
certified are as follows: J. II. Peters,
No. Bennington, acres, Green Noun
tains; Clayton Reed, No. Bennington,
8 acres Green Mountains; Lourie Bros.
West Rupert, 4 acres American Giants;
E. ]. Beebe, West Rupert, ! acre Am
erican Giants; John F. Sheldon, West
Rupert 4 acres American Giants; X.
S. Gilbert, Dorset, n acre American
Giants; Howard Foster, Bennington,
l n acres Green Mountains.
The raising Of certified seed is q
coming business for Vermont farmers.
II costs more than average produc-
ton but the increase in bushels per
acre and price per bushel pays hand
somely for the added cost Of seed and
spraying 1t is very gratifying toI
know that Bennington County has
tripled the acreage Of last year and
from the number Of inquiries coming
to the Farm Bureau Office next years
acreage will be even larger.
