decided by arbitration the question of compensation will have to 

 be brought before the Court by a law-suit at the " S0- og Handels- 

 retten " (Maritime and Commercial Court) in Copenhagen as proper 

 venue, before which Court both seller and buyer must appear in 

 person or by properly authorised representatives, there to attempt 

 an amicable arrangement, or, failing this, to receive the final decision 

 of the Court. The said Court will decide the amount of compensation 

 according to the rules in force in Denmark at the time and with due 

 regard to the character of the crop grown in the experimental fields. 



The regulations for drawing samples of root seed for export 

 are as follows : 



A small sample is drawn from each bag, alternately at the top, 

 in the middle and at the bottom of the bag. If the consignment 

 consists of less than 10 bags a sample should be drawn from each bag. 

 In case of larger consignments samples must be drawn from every 

 fifth bag, and in no case from less than 10 bags. In case of consign- 

 ments of more than 200 bags samples must be drawn from at least 

 40 bags. 



The smaller samples drawn as described must be carefully mixed 

 and from the mixed sample so produced 1 kg. (2J lb.) of seed 

 is packed in a sample bag and four smaller samples, weighing 100 

 grammes (about 3J oz.) each, in smaller bags. The sampler will 

 then close with his lead seal both the samples and all the bags of 

 the consignment. 



He will send the 1 kg. sample to the Government Eoot Seed 

 Commissioner, 8, Akasiavej, Copenhagen V. The exporter will 

 send one of the four smaller samples to the purchaser, one he will 

 keep himself, and the remaining two he will send to the Seed Testing 

 Station of the State, Biilowsvej, Copenhagen V. The Seed Testing 

 Station will at once test one of the samples for purity and germination, 

 and will keep the other for further reference in case either the seller 

 or the purchaser should require further tests to be made. The 

 two samples sent to the Seed Testing Station shall serve as material 

 for the analysis of the consignment, and analyses of other samples 

 of the consignment shall not be considered by either seller or buyer. 



The Sampler must then sign the following declaration in 

 three copies : 



This is to certify that I have this day, at the request of 



(name and address of exporting firm), drawn one sample of 1 kg. and 

 four samples of 100 grammes each, being representative samples, 

 drawn according to the regulations for sampling, out of a co- 



signment of bags. In each bag was a label bearing the
