CERTIFIED 
STOCK 
The present arrangement for certified pota¬ 
toes in the states of Idaho and Washington are 
a blue tag and a red tag. The blue tag Is cer¬ 
tified as to variety, freedom of disease and type 
and has been inspected at least twice in the 
field, also inspected at time of shipment. Size, 
from 2 to 12 ounces. 
Red tag has also been Inspected but has not 
been as closely graded as the blue tag and will 
not conform to the requirements for the blue 
tag.

Winter Killing of Alfalfa 
Through a questionnaire sent to about twelve 
hundred alfalfa growers, the Washington State 
College has made an analysis of winter killing of 
alfalfa. Reports show that the main causes are 
a dry fall and low temperatures without snow 
covering. Practically all alfalfa which had irriga¬ 
tion or subirrigation through the fall have not 
been subject to much winter killing. 
Grimm Alfalfa is recommended as being more 
hardy than common. In order to preserve the 
vigor of alfalfa plants, it is recommended to cut, 
on dry land, after one-third in bloom and to se¬ 
cure good growth after the last cutting. To at¬ 
tain this end some alfalfa growers cut only once. 
Reports also state that Gypsum has increased 
the vigor of plants on some fields and saved them 
from winter killing. Some growers consider fall 
cultivation helps to control winter killing and is 
important in controlling cheat grass.
