THE "PURE SEED BILL" AT AL- 

 BANY. 



At the second hearing on Assembly- 

 man Callan's Pure Seed Bill, which took 

 place at Albany March 30, the follow- 

 ing gentlemen were present; P. A. 

 Sherman, of Sherman & Eberle and D. 

 Bennett, of Barber & Bennett, Albany. 

 N. Y.; H. W- Gordinier and Nott, ot 

 Nott Seed Co., Troy, N. Y.; Alex 

 Forbes, of Peter Henderson & Co., and 

 Marshall H. Duryea, of Henry Nun- 

 gesser & Co., New York City. 



The bill in question has been amend- 

 ed along the lines of adulteration, and 

 while we cannot yet give any definite 

 information, we have every reason to 

 believe that Chairman Boshart's com- 

 mittee on agriculture will report favor- 

 ably on it.
