SEEDS ARE EXPENSIVE 80 BUY THE BEST Every Farmer Should Control the One Factor of Crop Production that is Within His Power by 'Testing His Seed--A Bulletin Tells How. Red clover seed is selling at ap proximately 50 cents a pound. At that price a farmer ean not afford to sow as clover seed anything that is not clover seed. Half a dollir a pound for weed seed, chatl', and dirt is too high a price to pay for the privileeg of be ing careless-particularly as seed testing is comparatively an easy and wholly an inexpensive operation. 'T'here is but one factor in crop pro duction over which the farmer has absolute control. Sunshine mwl mois ture are matters that are wholly be yond his power of intluence. Measur ably, he can control culture, btt too much rain or too long a dr ough t at a critic.gl tilnw ma1:1y pliced even that be yond his , wer. But. no matter what happens. the farmer can be sure that he is planting good seed -the kindl of seed, that gives a fair chance,. will prodee 1 full Crop. 1He can not af- t ford to h:an.!icati Iiasclf at. the out set by p!antinog adulterated or dead seed---the kad of seed that can not b make a full crop no mlatter how favor able conditiins Ivay be. Labeling of Seeds I'romised. e The sale of seed;, in manely States, is a regulated by law, the seller being re- o1 (ui ired to make certain statements as e to quality, but the law is not appli- I cable to seeds that go ihto interstate n commerce. In order to 'et this dif- c, ficulty so far as possible, the Secre- f tary of Agriculture, in 1917, asked p represen tatives of the seed trade to it meet itt Wash.ington and secured the ih counent of most of them t' a sugges tion that seed men label all farm seeds sold in lots of 10 pounds or more, the label to show p'rcentage of pure seed, percentagte of germinaLntio, Li and date of germination test. In some , cases the agreement was not lived up to, but the matter has again been called to the attention of seed men and many of them have again an nounced that they will fully label all l farm seed they sell. Practically all large seedl houses el now have facilities for testing the quality of all lots of seeds that they buy and sell. They have, therefore, the information that the farmer needs and he should insist on being given this information when hie buys seeds. Few farmers are willing to buy low grade seeds, containing much chaff, dirt, weed seeds, and dead seeds-if they know how poor it is. The deal er, however, almost invariably makes his largest profit on the lowest grade of seed le sells and is not alwaiys will iig to put on a truthful label. The farmer's protection lies in blying only labeled Oe l,. Farmer aty Protect Irimtself. The f's rmer, hiwev'1. may%, do a ! great deal toward ttin him'' bo lf by testing '- h at hoe. "Te'I' .
