In carrying out the provisions of this act, 1,272 seedsmen were asked 

 by special agents of this department for samples of red clover and 

 alfalfa seed, as offered for sale by them. From these seedsmen 658 

 samples were obtained and examined. As a result the following lots were 

 purchased in open market and founa to be adulterated. In accordance 

 with the mandatory nature of the act quoted above, publication is here 

 made of the names and addresses of the seedsmen who sold the lots 

 found to be adulterated, together with the percentages of adulteration in 

 each lot. 



In order to aid seedsmen in avoiding the purchase of adulterated 

 seeds, this Department will examine and report promptly as to the pres- 

 ence of adulterants in any samples of seed submitted for that purpose.
