CERTIFIED POTATO
SEED REQUIREMENTS
TO OE TIGHTENED
Directors of the Alaska Crop
Improvement Association met in
Palmer January 6 to review the
certified seed situation in the
Territory, to discuss the distribu
tion of Engmo timothy and Al
askland red clover seed, and to
tighten the requirements for cer
tification of potato seed.
“Our certified potato seed is
so much more superior than our
old requirements called for,” said
Cecil Wyant, president of the as
sociation, “it was unrealistic to
retain such outdated standards.
The decreased tolerance for virus
diseases is not apt to affect the
certification of present seed
stocks but will serve to maintain
purity of the seed at present
high levels”.
The Alaska Crop Improvement
Association is a territory-wide
farmers’ organization whose ob
jective is the promotion of better j
seeds of Alaska-adapted crop
varieties.
Directors present at the meet
ing were Cecil Wyant, Homer;
Harold Dinkel, Wasilla; P. R.
Johnson, Fairbanks; and Charles
E. Logsdon, Palmer.
Actions taken by the board of
directors will be the topic of dis
cussion at the annual meeting of
the Matanuska Valley District of
the association to be held at the
Experiment Station building in
Palmer at 8 p.m. tomorrow even
ing. Anyone interested in crop
improvement through better seed
is invited to attend this meeting.
