fication tags,” he says.
The Association was organized
in 1945 and in its first year 62
growers had 3,852 acres of seed
crops eligible for certification.
In ten years the number of act
ive members of the Association
has grown to 598 with 56,901
acres of certified seed meeting
field requirements for certifica
tion. Inglis explains that this fig- j
ure does not include about 1,000
acres in foundation seed which
were inspected and made avail
able to certified seed growers.
“About 300,000 bags of certified
seed were produced in 1954.
These superior varieties should
out-yield the old standard va
rieties as much as 25 percent.
This will mean several million
dollars of additional income to
Georgia’s agriculture,” Inglis sta
tes.
The specialist says the GCIA
works with county agents in
getting better supplies of seed
produced according to their needs.
Four-H Club boys also are train
ed by county agents to enter
county and state contests in crop
improvement demonstrations.
The leaflet, “Better Crops
Through Better Seed,” is being
distributed by county and home
demonstration agents.
