board, cut two by three inches. Waterproof drawing ink is used in mak- 

 ing them out. The labels are dipped in hot paraflfine to protect them 

 from the weather. They are placed in the envelopes with the seeds that 

 they represent. We try to know just where each plot is to go and the 

 space it is to occupy before spring opens. We pick up an envelope of 

 seed, and with it the label to be tacked on a, stake. The stake follows the 

 crop to the thresher and the label is placed in tJie top of the sack of seed. 

 A tag with the same information is tied outside.
