Certified seed Is seed grown fror
. carefully selected seed stock, o
! clean ground and inspected in tn
: field and in the bin by represents
tive of the state seed department
All fields which do not comply wit
the requirements are cast out an

are examined after the seed is pre-
/ pared for the market and tagged
Seed is not considered certified un
less it is sealed and tagged by tn
state seed department.
In producing certified seed it i
necessary to rogue out all diseased
plants or off varieties during tn
growing season. In growing small
seeds or gains the inseparable weed
must be pulled. In order to be Ger
titled grain must have purity ties
of not less than SO per cent. Carr
must be taken to see that the seet
is not mixed during harvest.
Small seeds such as red clover
alsike colver, Ladino colver, white
clover and alfalfa should carry the
purity on the container. Any farm
ers having these seeds for sale OF
wish to buy or plant seed of I'M
known purity may have purity test
made at the state seed laboratory al
Boise by addressing four ounce
sample to the State Seed Analyst
Boise, Idaho, being careful to put
your name and address on or in the
package. This will help you to select
high purity and prevent you from
scattering noxious weeds on your
farm.
