Registered Seed
Controls Pests
Carelessly Selected Seed
Often Produces Unprofit-
able Crops.

IL registered seed had no other val
ue than to stop the spread of noxiOus
weed seeds, all the money and effort
ever expended to develop pure seed
would be justified. declares T. G..
Stewart, extension agronomist at the
Colorado Agricultural college.
"Probably more weed seeds are
spread through crop seeds than in any
other way" Mr.. Stewart says. Reg
istered seeds of the standard Colorado
varieties can readily be obtained by
any farmer. Such seed, when planted,
produces good yields of high quality
crops. Carelessly selected seed often
produces a mixed crop that is unprotit-
able for both the grower and the buy
er. Mixed wheat, for instance, is
severely penalized. especially when
red and white wheats are mixed.
Mixture of Grain Types.
"A mixture of different types Of
grain not only brings lower price on
the market, but prevents harvesting
at the right time because of the diff
ferent ripening periods"
More farmers every year are appre-
ciating the Importance Of selecting and
planting clean seed, whether their
crop is TO be sold as seed or sold on
the market for commercial use. The
variety or type of seed selected and
planted depends upon the market de-
mands as we'll as its adaptability to
locality.
Rotation of crops as well as clean
seed is a big factor in keeping q field
clear of noxious weeds and in prevent
Ing grain mixtures. Registered seed
planted on a clean field will produce
good seed for the next year and, with
correct rotation, the crop will produce
good seed for at least four years 1t
Is advisable to purchase new seed at
any time q mixture Of seed or noxious
weed seeds appear in the homegrown
supply.
Test for termination.
The Colorado seed laboratory at
the college is equipped to handle seed
samples for termination and purity
tests. No charge is made for the first
FIVE samples submitted by farmers,
and only small charges are made for
additional samples.
The state seed registration service
at the college, which is under the su-
pervision of Mr.. Stewart, provides for
field inspections and grain registration
in all parts Of the state in order to
make good seed available to Colorado
farmers. County extension agents are
able to furnish names of those who
grow registered seed.

Lettuce will often volunteer from

Experiments indicate that the paper

Ir feeding tests the result from SUM-
flower silage have pretty generally
been inferior to corn silage.
The Pennsylvania and Michigan sta
tions report sunflower silage as decid-
edly less valuable than corn silage for
cows.
Destroy quack grass as soon as II
appears, is the warning issued recent
ly by A. A. Hansen of Purdue uni
versity.
Scattering manure early in the year
also prevents the fertilizing elements
from teaching out, thereby increasing
the value Of the manure.
Spring is a good time not only to
clean out all manure, but 1t Is good
time to clean. disinfect and whitewash
the dairy barn.
As a rule muck soils are deficient
in potash and frequently in phos-
phorus. They generally require un-
derdrainage. They are not we'll suited
to the growth of clover or alfalfa.
For many of the vegetable and most
OF the flower crops, mulch seems de-
sirable.

Quack grass spreads very rapidly BY
