BILLS PENDING. 



Senator Ackerson has filed in the 

 New Jersey senate a bill (S. 11) to 

 regulate the sale of agricultural seeds 

 and to provide standards of purity and 

 germination. This is the old Iowa type 

 of seed bill, discarded for the label law 

 of more recent seed legislation. The 

 bill affects all classes of seeds and is 

 highly objectionable to the seed trade 

 and of little protective value to pur- 

 chasers of seeds. 



There was a hearing before the house 

 committee on coinage, weights and 

 measures at Washington, January 20, to 

 consider Congressman Dillon's bill (H. 

 B. 150) relative to establishing stand- 

 ard weights of commodities, including 

 peas, beans, etc. Several seedsmen and 

 Curtis Nye Smith, attorney for the 

 American Seed Trade Association, were 

 present and presented arguments.

 and grounds, past and present, indicating the 

 progress of the business. 



L. E. Willlami, Exeter, N. H.— "Collected Na-
