Georgia Farmers
Spend $5 Million
For Planting Seed
Georgia farmers will spend ap
proximately $5 million for plant
ing seed this year That’s the
word from Hugh A. Inglis, ag
ronomist-seed certification, Ag
ricultural Extension Service. '
What guide can farmers use 1
in selecting the best seed for their ।
money? <
The answer to that guestion,
Inglis stated, may be found in
the Georgia Corp Improvement
Association and its program.
This organization, he continu
ed, is the seed certifying agency
for the University of Georgia
College of Agriculture. “It ar
ranges for the production of siz
able acreages of planting seed of
the principal crops.”
The agronomist explained that
the classes of planting seed pro
duced under the supervision of
the GCIA are called foundation,
registered, and certified seed.
“Seed one year from the breeder
is called registered seed. Seed
two years from the breeder is
called certified, or blue tag, seed.
This is the class of seed found
in the seed trade for farmers to
plant.”
Discussing how seed become
certified, Inglis said the seed of
any variety must be tested for at
least three years by College of
Agriculture Experiment Stations
and approved by them.
He continued that the fields
must be inspected to make cer
tain there will be no mixtures
of other crops or noxious weeds,
and to assure the fact that fields
are sufficiently isolated from
other varieties to prevent mix
ing. Later on, certified seed are
laboratory tested for purity,
germination, and freedom from
noxious weed seed
Other advantages of certified
seed which Inglis cited are that
they are processed only in ap
proved plants and are put up in
bags that carry the certified em
blem. This enables farmers to
identify certified sepd at the
store or any other place where
seed are offered for sale.
Inglis suggested that farmers
contact their county agent for
information regarding sources of
the kind and variety of seed they
want.
Per capita consumption of beef
has »et new records for three
consecutive years, but will be
down a little in 1957, according
to Stephen Brannen, economist.
