The Bulletin. 9 



The planting of clean seed of high vitality is of such importance that 

 it is hoped the tobacco farmers of the State will take advantage of the 

 opportunity the Department offers and have all of their seed cleaned. 

 This work can be done more efficiently by the Department than by the 

 farmers, as the Seed Laboratory has special apparatus for doing this 

 work. Several times the quantity of seed desired for sowing should be 

 sent to insure a sufficient quantity of cleaned seed. The seed should be 

 sent some time before it is wanted. The Department makes no charge 

 for cleaning tobacco seed. 



HOW TO SEND SEED SAMPLES FOR TESTING. 



Of the smaller seeds, such as the grasses and clovers, about three or 

 four tablespoonfuls is a sufficient amount to send for testing. Of the 

 larger seeds, as corn and oats, about a cupful is necessary. The follow- 

 ing information should accompany all samples : Name and address of 

 Avholesale and retail dealer, retail price, and name and address of 

 sender. Samples should be securely wrapped and addressed to
