FROST DAMAGE SUGHT. 



Unusually early frosts in Michigan, 

 Wisconsin and northern Iowa September 

 10 and 11 did some damage to seed crops 

 in those sections, but it appears to have 

 not been alarming.

 Mich., telegraphed September 11: "At 

 Grand Bapids and vicinity there has 

 been slight damage on low land, proba- 

 bly twenty-five per cent." 



John H. Allan Seed Co., Sheboygan, 

 Wis., wired September 11 : * * Heavy 

 frosts the last two nights have damaged 

 late sown fields of beans in. Wisconsin; 

 we are investigating the extent of dam- 

 age. ' ' 



LABELED FIELD-CBOP SEED. 



Buy labeled seeds, is the suggestion 

 the United States Department of Agri- 

 culture is making to farmers, stating: 

 "In the case of field and forage crop 

 seeds, including cereals, corn, cowpeas 

 and soy beans, the label securely placed 

 on the sack or container should convey 

 the following information: Name of 

 seedsman; kind of seed; proportion of 

 pure live seed present, with month and 

 year of germination test; country or 

 locality of origin in the case of the fol- 

 lowing imported seeds: Beans, soy 

 beans, Turkestan alfalfa, and red clover 

 from southern Europe and Chile. 



"Following conferences with the De- 

 partment of Agriculture, the "Wholesale 

 Grass Seed Dealers' Association and the 

 American Seed Trade Association at 

 their conventions this summer approved 

 furnishing the above information with 

 all lots of field seeds of ten pounds or 

 over. Later seventy-seven seedsmen, in- 

 cluding most of the larger dealers, indi- 

 vidually agreed to adopt this plan. Un- 

 der this agreement the seed trade vol- 

 untarily agrees to furnish the informa- 

 tion stated above with all field seeds 

 they sell, including those sold in inter- 

 state commerce and in the tw^enty-one 

 states having no laws regulating such 

 sale. Seed so labeled may always be 

 seeded at the proper rate to give a 

 good stand under normal conditions."
