Lancaster Farming, Saturday, April 5,1975
Buy Certified
Seeds
Good crops begin with
good seed and these days
good seed sometimes can be
a hard thing to get.
Maryland farmers who want
good crops of soybeans,
corn, oats, rye, wheat, and
barley can assure them
selves to top quality seed by
making sure they purchase
and use “Maryland Certified
Seed.”
“Today’s high seed prices,
scarcity and heavy planting
demands mean that farmers
should use certified seed
more than ever,” says M. H.
(Gus) Day Chief of the
Maryland Department of
Agriculture’s Turf and Seed
Section which administers
the Certified Seed Program
in cooperation with the
Agronomy Department of
the University of Maryland.
“Research and field tests
have proven these varieties
to be superior. Certification
assures the user that the
seed he purchases was
grown from planting stocks
of known pedigrees,” Day
says.
“Under the Certification
Program we check to make
sure the seed production
fields have been closely
inspected and that the seed
has been properly handled
during harvesting, cleaning
and that the seed harvested
meets the highest standards
for purity and germination.
“The payoff comes

because clean and strong
seed means quicker growth
and less trouble with weeds.
The growth is more uniform
and dependable and this
reduces the chance of crop
failure or low yields. The net
result is that these factors
combine to give high yields
of better quality crops,” Day
said.
Seed buyers can identify
seed grown under the
Maryland Certified seed
Program by the blue,
numbered tag on the bag.
Day points out that ‘‘Seed
production is a specialty.
Good seed growers are
specialists who must be
willing and capable to devote
time, care and effort to
producing a better product
using the latest tools of
modem plant science. Using
their skills, farmers can
have specialists working for
them at planting time.
“Quality seed combined
with good agronomic
practices such as soil
testing, careful ground
preparation, liming,
balanced fertilizer programs
and careful attention to weed
and insect control mean good
crops and top dollar at
harvest time.
“But, it is important to
remember that while poor
crops can be produced from
good seed stock, good crops
never come from poor seed,”
Day adds.
