First Certified Seed Grown by Boy.

First Certified Seed Grown by Boy.
The first seed potatoes to be certified
in Wyoming We're grown some three
years ago by Il NiObrara county farm
boy belonging 10 one of the boys clubs
conducted by the county agricultural
extension agent, according to reports
to the United States Department of
Agriculture. The success of this boy
and other club members, it is felt, has
contributed much toward inducing
farmers in Niobrara county to under
take the growing of certified seed po-
tatoes, now Il profitable phase of farm
ing in this dry-land county. A county
certified potato growers association
has been organized to aid in handling
the product. About 100000 bushels of
improved potatoes were produced in
the county in 1922. some 10000 bushels
of which were certified for seed.
