difference between high-quality recleaned and farm-cleaned seed is very little. Take red clover, at 50 cents per pound for high quality, tested seed against say 35 cents for the unknown qual ity. the so-called “baigain" seed. At 10 pounds per acre, the differ ence is only $1.50 pci acre. The seed cost is small com pared with the expense of pre paring the land and doing the seeding. It is certainly folly to risk a poor stand or invite an m fectation of weeds or disease when for so little more these un necessary risks can be avoided. Recleaned, refined, tested and tagged seed is the most econ omical seed to use. It gives you the kind of crop insurance you Want at low cost.
