The seed testing station at Palmerston North is now engaged supervising the mixing of 180 tons of pasture seed for use by the Lands Department in sowing about 6000 acres at Te Kuiti. As the sole purchasing medium of the Government, the seed testing station buys about £120,000 worth of seed each year for use by State departments, and the concentration of 91 lines from various parts of the Dominion and overseas for the present mix is but a small part of the station’s activities. The main users of seed purchased by the station are the Native, Lands and Survey, and Public Works Departments. When a department requires seed, no matter how. little or how much, the seed testing-sta-tion is the source of supply. Only certified seed is considered, and it must have been tested for germination before it is purchased. The station is the largest individual buyer of pasture seed in New Zealand.
