PRESIDENT LUPTON'S ADDBESS. 



[In opening the Chicago convention June 20 

 President F. M. Lupton spoke in part as fol- 

 lows. ] 



If the earlier years of this associa- 

 tion did nothing else, they certainly 

 promoted a spirit of good fellowship 

 throughout the trade, without which all 

 efforts at cooperation in any line must 

 fail and which in itself has laid a good 

 foundation for the more serious work 

 which in recent years it has been called 

 upon to do. 



The Seed Trade Association today 

 has a mission. It is not merely protec- 

 tive, but constructive as well. We 

 need no protection beyond that which 

 justice and equity ought to provide, 

 but justice and equity may be ob- 

 scured through misunderstanding; there- 

 fore we find a united work on the part 

 of the whole seed trade necessary to 

 secure them, and there never was a time 

 in the history of the seed trade when 

 cooperation has been more urgently 

 needed, not only because of its pro- 

 tective features, but to promote those 

 higher business ideals for which this 

 association avowedly stands. 



A business convention seems to be in 

 order at the present time, one which 

 will strengthen the bond which binds 

 the trade together through the medium 

 of this association, and I am free to 

 confess that I feel my responsibility. 

 My experience in the seed business has 

 been that of a grower only; my prob- 

 lems those of the field, rather than those 

 of the office. While fully mindful of 

 the honor conferred by election to the 

 highest place within the power of this 

 association to bestow, I am conscious of 

 a lack of knowledge of the retail busi- 

 ness, which must be made up by the 

 hearty cooperation of those more fa- 

 miliar with it, if we are to work out 

 the problems before us for the greatest 

 benefit of the seed trade. 



Seed Legislation. 



I shall refer only to the general sub- 

 ject of legislation, as our counsel and 

 legislative committee will later on treat 

 of the specific legislation of the year. 

 If seed legislation is honestly intended 

 to better seed standards, to get rid of 

 impurities, and result in the production 

 of better seeds for the benefit of the 

 farmers of the country, there are no

seedsmen, so far as I know, but would 

 be glad to see that result accomplished, 

 with absolute honesty of purpose on the 

 part of all concerned. It would only re- 

 main for us to seek out the most prac- 

 tical way of accomplishing that most 

 desirable result. But all of the seed 

 legislation of which I have knowledge 

 seems to be predicated upon the as- 

 sumption that a merchant is always the 

 responsible party. The term "adul- 

 terated seeds" is not used to imply that 

 the seeds have actually been adulterated, 

 and that the seeds of weeds, the pres- 

 ence of which are forbidden by legisla- 

 tive mandate, have really been mixed 

 in to make weight. As a matter of 

 fact, we all know and nobody will 

 deny, that the weeds grow in the fields 

 with the crop from which the seed is 

 harvested, that the weed seeds are har- 

 vested with the good seed, and that we 

 are depending on some machine to sepa- 

 rate the weed seeds from the good seed 

 until it reaches the standard set by our 

 several state legislatures. 



Wliy Not Go to the Fields? 



Now, if the activities of government 

 are to be invoked in an honest effort 

 to make seeds better, why not go to
