George J. Cannon, a prominent seed 

 grower of Buckeye, Wash., was last week 

 elected to the office of vice-president of 

 the Washington Farm Bureau Federa- 

 tion. 



The cold si)ell last week halted the 

 stream of gardeners that had been pour- 

 ing into Chicago seed stores, but Ralph 

 B. Howe, manager of the W. W. Bar- 

 nard Co., reports that business is still 

 up to that of previous seasons. 



Booths at the "Own Your Own 

 Home" show at the Coliseum, Chicago, 

 last week occupied by Vaughan's Seed 

 Store and J. Oliver Johnson, drew far 

 more attention than those devoted to the 

 exhibition of mechanical household de- 

 vices and construction materials. 



Headquarters of G. Willett Warren, 

 who is establishing a selling service for 

 seedsmen, are not at St. Louis, but at 

 Lansing, Mich., at 519 Oakland build- 

 ing. He plans to act as a clearing 

 house for dealers in seeds, bulbs, nurs- 

 ery stock and allied lines everywhere. 



PENNSYLVANIA SEED BILL. 



Having passed the lower house, the 

 Pennsylvania "pure seed bill" is now 

 before the state senate for passage. It 

 has the support of Secretary of Agri- 

 culture Fred Easmussen, by whom it 

 was drafted and who would be the en- 

 forcing officer under its provisions. The 

 bill goes into detail in specifying both 

 the species of agricultural seeds and of 

 noxious weeds and the percentages "of 

 weed seeds which would be allowed in 

 specified quantities of agricultural seeds 

 offered for sale. Varieties of agricul- 

 tural seeds mentioned in the act are the 

 Canada and Kentucky blue grass, brome 

 grass, fescues, millets, tall meadow oat 

 grass and orchard grass, redtop, Italian 

 rye grass, kafir corn, perennial rye 

 grass, sorghum, sudan grass, timothy, 

 alfalfa, alsike, clover, crimson, red, 

 sweet and white clover, Canada field 

 peas, cow peas, soy bean's, vetches, 

 buckwheat, flax, rape, barley, field corn, 

 grains, forage pl.ants and other grasses, 

 legumes, cereals and vegetables. 



Wild onion or garlic, quack grass, 

 dodders, Canada thistle, devil's paint 

 brush. King Devil, perennial sow this- 

 tle, horse nettle and bindweed are the 

 specified varieties of noxious weeds. 



The bill would make it unlawful to 

 offer for sale any seeds in bulk pack- 

 ages without labels carrying the ac- 

 cepted names of the seed, the percent- 

 age of weight of purity and the percent- 

 age of weed seeds, and the name and 

 ajiproximate number per ounce of each 

 kind of weed seeds present. It would 

 also require the name and address of 

 the vender of the seed and the country 

 or locality of origin of certain imported 

 seeds, including Turkestan alfalfa, 

 Italian-grown red clover, Italian-grown 

 alfalfa and red clover grown in Chili. 



Under the terms of the act, whenever 

 the secretary obtains information tliat 

 any seeds which are considered unfit 

 for use are being offered for sale, he 

 may apply for an injunction to restrain 

 the sale, may take samples and proceed 

 against violators. Conviction for viola- 

 tion of the act is punishable by a fine
