TESTS AND EXAMINATIONS 



Section two of the law states the provisions under which the 

 tests and analyses shall be made. The secretary of the State 

 Board of Agriculture has appointed F. W. Taylor, agronomist of 

 the experiment station, as his regular agent for making all tests 

 and analyses in this state. The sellers or dealers who desire to 

 base their guarantees upon tests made by themselves or their 

 agents must first secure the approval by the secretary of the 

 State Board of Agriculture of the methods to be used in making 

 the tests, and of the person who is to conduct them. 



EXPENSES OF TESTS AND ANALYSES 



As no funds are available for the secretary of the state board 

 or for the experiment station to conduct the tests, a nominal 

 charge, sufficient to cover the cost of making them, must be made. 

 The charge for making a purity test will be seventy-five cents 

 per sample. For seeds sold in mixtures the charge will be 

 seventy-five cents for the sample and ten cents additional for 

 each kind of seed said to be contained therein. The charge for 

 making a germination test will be twenty-five cents per sample. 

 Seeds wdll be tested for any resident of the state, whether a 

 dealer or not, at the above rates.
