C. b. Allison. field agronomist and
state seed commissioner, says spring
seeding time will soon be here and it
is well to economize early in the sea-
son. Decide what is to be planted
and order the seed early. Planting
of clean seed adapted to the section
will mean increased yields and more
money to the farmer at harvest time.
The variety of wheat recommended
for spring planting on the irrigated
farms of southern Idaho in Dicklow.
This is high-yielding, soft, white
wheat which has proved its worth.
Experiments conducted at the Aber-
deem station for five years showed
Dicklow to outyield all other varie-
ties. When buying wheat for seed buy
certified Dicklow. Certified seed
bears a mark of quality, it has been
found to be 80 per cent pure, free of
noxious weeds. and of a plump and
