WRONGLY WORDED WARNING. 



Against Western Mail Order Firms. 



A letter which may easily have un- 

 fortunate results for the trade was sent 

 out February 3 to all the farm bureau 

 county agents of New York state by 

 M. T. Munn, assistant botanist of the 

 New York agricultural experiment sta- 

 tion, at Geneva, of which W. H. Jordan 

 is director. In this letter, while it is 

 rightly urged that the real evil of the 

 untrustworthy mail order house which 

 deals in seeds of poor and uncertain 

 quality be called to the attention of 

 buyers who otherwise might not be suf- 

 ficiently discriminating, yet the vague 

 ness of the terms employed would tend 

 to prejudice such buyers against all 

 mail order houses outside their own 

 state. Attention has been called to 

 this warning, as well as to ways in 

 which such a letter can be misused, 

 by W. F. Therkildson, formerly adver- 

 tising and sales manager of the W. 

 Vtlee Burpee Co. and now manager of 

 he agricultural division of the adver 

 sing agency of N. W. Ayer & Son. 

 Mr. Munn's letter to the county 

 Agents is as follows: 



Last sprinB tlio county ancnt in encli county 

 rendered valuable service by warninfr farmers 

 against purcliasing seeds from certain mail order 

 Bee<l bousefl located in the middle west which 

 offered inferior seeds for sale in this state. 

 Again this season tliese liouses and possibly 

 one or two otliers are continulnR this kind 

 of deceptive business. They are quoting allur- 

 ing •prices and sending advertising samples to 

 New York farmers. Their claims mean notliing 

 and their samples are deceptive. They are 

 doing business under tlie fre«'(lom of interstate 

 commerce and an- immune from the operation 

 of New York state laws. 



From tlie nature of the cases substantiated 

 by analyses of the goods in our seed laboratory, 

 we feel tliat every farmer should be warned 

 iit'iiinst tji'ing taken in liy such misn'i>reS('iitM ■ 

 fions. N<» farmer should send outside the state 

 lor seeds unless he is dealing with an old 

 liouse of undisputed reliability. We advise tliat 

 tlie farm bureau agent bo consulted befori' 

 Iilaciiii; an order for seeds with iiiiy firm and
