Results of Tesla
Results of the test pilots showed that yields increased with official classifications of seed: that is. the yields were higher from certified seed than from "first year" seed; higher from seed of registered grade (1-5 of 1 per cent virus or less) than of average certified grade; and higher from seed in which no virus had been found than the yields from registered
seed.
The yields in the current crop increased as the found lnthe current crop decreased. “The best long-time virus-free Prince Edward Island stock, where our yields were large, yielded W additional bushels on each more when compared with our own ‘first year’ seed. The chief source of the virus in the current crop was the virus found in the seed stock of the previous year. The virus prevalent 1n the current season r parallels. in higher percents es. the virus found by 1n- spectors the previous year.
"Champion Producer”
"A review of the certification in i007. in most of the states and provinces ploducing Cobbler seed," says Mir. Fitch, "indicate-s that our states have very few fields in which no virus is found. and far fewer in which no virus has been found for so long a period of years that it indicates its complete erad- ication. VThe same is truecf New Brunswick. A much better situ- ation is found in Ontario and still a better one in Nova. Scotia. However, it. ls evident that Prince Edward Island ls the champion
reducer of Cobbler seed. In 987.
Inca Edward Island hid about 30
virus d all the United States. and more than 24 time! ll mluy u the three lforc- mentioned provinces combined."
The writer continues: “The sup- eriority of Prime Edward Island seed Cobblers is still more pheno- menal when one considers the very large proportion of fields that had also been free in 1986, and for five ‘ours previous to thst date. These
eldl. as a rnlc, also have shown no wilt and no blackleg.
“No one will question the quality of certification work in Prince Ed- ward Island. Our own checks fully approve of that work and I0 do our yields.
