Authorities Advise Grant Esplin. He advises the growers: If you intend to plant your own home - grown seed this spring, be sure to have it tested. This is the only way you can be sure it is good seed. Louis A. Jensen, Utah State University extension agronomist points out that a grower who plants his own seed should be most concerned with germination and weed seeds. Seeds may look good and still have low germination. For example, one sample collected from a farmer's drill box recently was found to germinate only 20 percent. Sinca weed seeds are small, they are often hard to see in grain seed. A careful laboratory ' test for purity may be necessary to find them. Some of them are also so near trij sam.1 siza and weight as th : grain s.ed that it is almost impassibla for a cleaning plant to remove them. seed Samples of collected have bicn found to contain con.'i morning glory seed. A farmer planting such seed could start an infesta-tatio- n of nox'cus weeds on his farm that mis it take a generation to eradicate, Jens.n explained. He urges farmers who intend to plant their own seed grain this spring to fellow this proceedure: 1) Take your intended seed grain to a cleaning plant and have it cleaned to remove most foreign material and most weed AND fertilizer whenever possible.

The County Agent notes that 3,500 acres of grain an grown in Beaver County. This includes the following kinds: Barley, Oats and Wheat. He says it is particularly important that growers know how good their sc;ed is for thrsn crops. They can know it by having it tested. 4 rtpitatd (rodtmork Check Numbers of Bags of Fertilizer, Says Grant Esplin V. h n buying fertilizers look for tiia numbers on the bag to thj percentage of plant foods presmt in ths fertilizer, says Grant Esplin, County Agent. Numbers such as or are found on all fertilizer bags. The first number is the percent of available nitrogen, thc second number is the percent of phospherous and the third number is the percent of fertilizer potash.
