Des Moines, la., .June 9, — Iowa seed 

 dealers in session liere today are -of the 

 opinion that, though the pure seed law 

 enacted in the last general assemlily 

 is a step in the right direction, several 

 changes should be made in it. State 

 Commissioner Wright appeared before 

 the convention and answered questions 

 asked by the dealers and in general 

 agreed with tlieni on the needed 

 amendments. The chief objection to 

 the law. as it now stands, is that there 

 is no provision for prosecuting the 

 small dealers who receive se.ids 

 marked "to be cleaned" and, removing 

 these tags, sell them. Professor I-. II. 

 Pammel of Ames, one of the framers 

 of the law, agreed that he had noticed 

 the defects during the year it had been 

 tested and realized that remedies are 

 needed. He .suggested a state com- 

 mission to get a standard for seeds and 

 that it be made to include vegetable 

 and flower seeds. Professor Holden 

 and Professor Crossley of Ames also 

 spoke. — Council Bluffs Nonpareil.
