PAGE SIX SODS ARE EXPENSIVE SOW GOOD ONES Every Farmer Should Favor Crop Production by Testing His Seed. Red clover seed is selling at approximately 50 cents a pound. At that price a farmer can not afford to sow as cflover seed anything that in not clover 6eed. Half a dollar a pound for weed seed, chaff and dirt ij too high a price to pay for the privilege of being careless?particularly as seed testing is comparatively an easy *and wholly an inexpensive operation. There is hut one factor in crop production over which the farmer has absolute control. Sunshine and moisture are matters that are win lly beyond his power of influence. Measurably, he can control culture, hut too much rain or too long- a drought at a critical time may place even that beyond his power. l>ut, no matter what happens, t o farmer can he sure that he is planting good seed?the kind of seed tlv t, given a fair chance, will produce a full crop. He can not afford to handicap himself at tho outlet by planting adulterated or dea I so <1 the kind of see l that cannot mak a full crop no matter how favorable condtions may be. Labeling of Seeds Promised. The sale of seeds, in many Sta* es, is regulated by law, the s< her being required to make certain statements as to quality, but ti? law is not applicable to seeds tha. go into interstate commerce. In order to meet this difficulty so far a< possible, the Secretary of Agriculture, in 1917, asked representatives of the seed trade to meet in Washington and secured the consent of most of them to a suggestion that | peed men label all farm seeds sold in lots1 of 10 pounds or more, th> label to show percentage of pure seed, percentage of germination, and date of germination test. In some cases the agreement was not lived lip to, but the matter has again b en called to the attention of seed men and many of them have again announced that they will fully label all farm seed they sell. Practically all large seed houses now have facilities for testing the quality of all lots of seed that they buy and sell. They have, therefore, the information that the fanner needs, and he should insist on being given this information when he buys seeds. Few farmers are willing to buy low-grade seed, containing much chaff, dirt, weed seeds, and dead seeds?if they know how poor it is. The dealer, however, almost invariably makes his largest profit on the lowest grade of seed he sells and Is not always willing to put on a truthful label. The farmer's protection lies in buying only labeled seeds. Farmer May Protect Himself. The farmer, however, may do a great deal toward protecting himscK by testing seeds at home.

Mu.h of the seed of these crops, except cereals and com, is imported, and widely variable grades are on the market. Just now a great deal of clover seed is being imported from Italy, and specialists believe that much of is poorly adapted to American condi- tions.
