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. "Testing
Seed in the Home and in the Rural
School," published by the United
States Department of Agriculture as
Farmers' Bulletin 42G, discusses the

All kinds of farm seeds may be
subjected to one kind of test or
another, but the seeds of the crops

in most general xisc and which it
especially doshable to have tested
are the true clovers, such as rod,
a'sike and crimson; alfalfa; such
grasses as timothy, orchard grass,
fescue grass, blue grass, broom
grass and the millets; cereals, rape,
flax, vetch, and corn. 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.
The prevalence of foreign grown
seed in the market is prob \
ably not generally recognized, but i' s
is k>no of the important elements in v
making testing necessary. n
