The stoVy of man’s depefidancy on the ability of a seed to -sprout and grow is told in a new motion picture, “For A Seed Has Sprouted,’’ now ayailable from the Virginia Crop Improvement Association, Blacksburg.
J. R. Whately, Association of-' ficial, says the film is available, free of charge, for showing to any group interested. The film depicts also the technical aspects of the seed certification program. The story was written by S. F. Grubbs, former secretary-treasurer of the Association.
Whately also reminds farmers that the Virginia Certified Seed Directory for 1962 is now available. Free copies are available from county agents, br1 from the Crop Improvement Association. In addition to listing certified seed growers of each variety of crop certified in Virginia, the directory includes other information of interest to farmers, such as varietal recoinmendations, planting rates, certification standards, etc.
Whately urges all farmers to select varieties that h .ve been tested and recommended for the area of the state involved. Plant only certified seed - that’s the, best way of knowing what you will reap. More than 11,000 acres of small grain were inspected for certification in Virginia this year, so you should have no difficulty in finding certified seed of the varieties, you want, Whately says. Certification assures you of varietal purity, freedom from seedborne diseases and 'noxious weed seed, and germination of 90 percent or better. The iiiformation you should have about the seed you plant is shown on every certification tag.
