ducing certified oat seed, Stuart
said, and Sampson and Beaufort
follow as close seconds. Growers
in the 81 counties produced ap
proximately $4,000 bushels Of
pure seed oats last year.
Harnett County, with IL grow
ers, led the list of those produc-
ing certified wheat seed, Samp-
son, Hoke, Scotland, Robson,
CASTOR followed in order.
Certified seed growers through
out the state have followed rec
concentrations of the N. c. Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station.
They prepared good seed beds,
planted certified treated seed,
and seeded on time.
They are familiar with the adj
vantage of using adequate fert-
ilizer at seeding time and also
the necessity Of top dressing the
grain on time.
Wheat varieties grown by the
certified growers were leap, full
caster, carala hardired, and red
hart.
The varieties of oats were let
oria, lee, lemont, stanton, full
grain, and victor-g grain. Sunrise
is the most popular variety of
barley, despite its susceptibility
to smut, because of its high yield
and attractive beardless head.
A list Of the certified grain
producers can be procured from
the Agricultural Editor, State
College, Raleigh.
