Richard Wilson, statFew people fully ed, realize just how much energy and time could Ixt saved if the required seed lalx'ls were carefully examined." Reading, miderstandmg ami con i faring seed can help you eliminate low quality, weed infested, or low germinatlaw-n- , ing seed from your fa mi or garden planting and save the energy and with recosts involved or purchase of planting ls costly chemicals to control weeds. THE Itah Seed Act, a tnith- - in- - lalxding law, was enacted in 1925. Since then this law has heljy-e- the agricultural community save considerable time, energy and money while helping to improve overall crop production. Seed costs account for 5 to 10 percent of the total costs of production, but liecause of the vital effects of seed quality on the ultimate product the importance grown, of high quality seeds must not lie overlooked. Tlie state has a system of laws, sjieeialists and to help protect seed buyers from misre- presentation in the seed trade. TODAY the seed program in Utah includes the enforcement vigorous of the State Seed Law (a truth- - in- - lalieling act) and the Federal Seed Act, rejiorted Wilson. The federal law insures that seed sold across state lines is labeled correctly while the state laws govern local sales and labeling. Inspection, sampling, and testing of seed offered for sale in Utah is handled by the State Department of Agriculture.

All seed samples inspected or submitted to the laboratory for testing must be labeled to show the purity or composition, germination, and the date of the gemination test. WILSON warned, Those who buy seeds without labels or analysis may find that it has undesireable weeds in it. There is also the chance that unlabeled seed will not germinate or produce a good quality crop, or that it may not lie adapted to Utahs climate. Fanners and consumers should only buy from reputable seed dealers. Buyers should cheek labels to lie certain the seed is the kind, variety, and quality desired.
