The 1951 edition from Iowa State College agronomist Joe L. Robinson is ready. It guides farmers to certified seed producers by county with addresses and acreages. Field inspections and lab analyses verify seed purity in production and storage, aiding buyers in seconds.
The text records a family outing with Kenneth O’Conner, Perry Mikel and children taking Geral to Ottumwa for a bus to California. Stops include Dwight Stocker’s home near Hedrick and a wedding in Oskaloosa for Connie Hiatt, niece of Mrs Argo.
The piece notes that seed from the seed laboratory at Iowa State College has not been analyzed for beef and veal yet, but crops shown in prior field inspections were weed free and true to variety. It explains blue certification tags mark fully certified seed after seed and field analyses, and urges farmers to require a blue tag on each bag.
