CERTIFIED SEED POTATOES AVAILABLE TO PUBLIC THIS YEAR

Alaskans may now. have cer- tified seed potatoes for their gar dens for the first time since the founding of the Alaska Certified Seed Growers Association in 1851, Charles Logsdon, associa tion secretary, has announced.
 Green Mountain and White Bliss are the two varieties certif- jed in the Kenai Peninsula. These two along with Kennebec and Knik are available from Tanana Valley growers, while in the Ma tanuska Valley farmers also can provide Arctic Seeding as well as Knik and Kennebec. Garden CTS interested in the certified seed may contact retail seed outlets who get supplies either through Logsdon or direcly from certified growers.
 Main advantage of certified seed over ordinary commercial seed is the lower percentage of disease. Ring rot is the biggest disase problem in Alaska at pres ent, Logsdon said. If trace of ring rot is found in potatoes, they are not certified for seed stock. Little ring rot was found in the seed grown for certification this year because original stock was fairly clean.
 "We cant guarantee certified seed to be completely disease free, Logsdon said, but the per centage is small-less than lR percent.
 While home gardeners should get certified seed potatoes through retail sources, commer- cial growers may order directly from the seed association. The ex- ecutive secretary's office is in Palmer. Matanuska Valley grow CTS are Ted Knutsen, D. E. Ricca, Joe Curtis, Barry and Larry Dear born, Henning Blunck, Carl Fritz Ter, Floyd Davis, Harold Dinkel, and George CroWther.
 Foundation stock of four new varieties also will be available to farmers and home gardeners after March l, Logsdon said. Two are early harvest varieties and the other two late harvest potatoes. All have been found to hold up we'll in storage. The four varieties were developed by the Agricul- tural Experient Stations and re- leased to the Certified Seed Growers Association members for increase in 1852. This seed is now ready for general distribution. Information about the four var ieties is available from Logsdon in Palmer.
