Seeds high in germinating
ability contained too many
weeds Seeds low in weed con
tent were also low m ability to
germinate, reports Harold C
Campbell, graduate assistant
working on the project
Average germinating ability
was no higher than 80 per cent
for nmothv and trefoil and
per cent for clover. Only one
farmer among those surveyed
tested Ins own seed for germ
ination
Only 3 out of 13 timothy
samples were sufficiently free
of weed seeds to be rated ac
cept ible In red clover 6 out of
27 samples met the standards
for weed-free quality Thirty
eight species of weed seeds
were found
CJuackgrass and Canada
thistle, weeds prohibited in
certified seed, were found in
