 <Hiir('(l standard of {ji'iiiiination — oats, 

 the country ovt-r, seciued to liavi' ln'conic 

 hcatctl and rendered unfit for seed. 



Under our jiresent law almost any 

 seed eaii l»e s(dd, ])rovided it bears the 

 state seed taj;, with the eorreet analysis 

 on it. The farmer and the seed dealer 

 can make any contract they desire and 

 the farmer can come hack on the dealer 

 only in case he can jirove the dealer 

 deceived him. Section 18 of our state 

 see(l law reads in ])art as follows: 



I'lic fiiMowliiK sttiiMliirds iif purity iiiiil viiiliil- 

 ily :ir(' hereby Hxcd. .Sootls nit'asui'iii;: \\\\ to tlic 

 I'lMiiiircil Ntiindiird m;iy, when pnnHTly t;iKt^c<I. In* 

 ImIm'IimI mill siild lis "sliiixliiril seeds," lint seeds

 .1)1(1 viiiliilily may also lie sold in this state, only 

 provided tliey are properl.v tiiKKed and hilieleil 

 as required in sections 2, .') and 17 of this act. 



When see<ls are ])ro])erly ta}jge(l, with 

 tlie correct analysis on tiie ta^, the farm- 

 er knows what he is ])urchasiny and 

 will be i)rotected by the coiuiiion law 

 of contract. The analysis on the tafj, 

 liowever, is a jjuarantee only in case the 

 seedsman is an honoral)le man. The 

 state seed tag can be jilaced on any 

 jiackafje whatsoever and bear no rela- 

 tion to the contents of the ])ackaf);e 

 that carries it. Here the farmer can 

 invoke the law of contracts for his 

 [irotection by sending a representative 

 sample of the seed to our laboratory and 

 liaviug the guaranteed analysis on the 

 tag \erified. 



The service of our laboratory is free 



to all our farmers and state seed dealers. 



Section 1(5 of our law reads as follows: 



.\iiy eilizen, lirm or eorjiMralion of this st:ile 

 sliall liave the privilege of liavinj.' simples of 

 seeds tesled free of charge in the state seed 

 l.ilioratories; wliile individuals, linns anil lorpira 

 tions outside the state shall have ii like iirivilece 

 oil payment of a fee of L'.'i cents for eacli purity 

 test and 2.*) cents for each jrermiiia tioii test. 



Publicity is the key to the whole 

 situation. Let the tag on the ]>ackage 

 tell the truth and all the other factors 

 will soon be whij)ped into line; and a 

 sympathetic understanding will grow up 

 between seed seller and seed jilanter 

 such as has hitherto not been known.

A True Story 



Offlce of Alfred Goldring 



Florist

March 17tti 

 We use HAMMOND'S SX^UO 

 SHOT on Currant Bushes In 

 the Spring before the leaves are 

 started. We put It on around 

 the roots and have done it for 

 two years, and find that the 

 worms are killed before they 

 get on the bush. For potatoes 

 we put on SI^TJO SHOT as soon 

 a.<3 the bugs come, and we have 

 good vines, plenty of tubers 

 and no bugs. It is the best 

 thing we have ever used. Per 

 Sow BngB in greenbonaes it is anre deatb. We had a lot of them before u.sing 

 SSUTTG SHOT but thev got out where it is used. 



ALFRED GOLDRING. 



Slug Shot for Sow Bugs 



It ia with great pleaaure eacb week X read your valued paper, and I like to 

 g'iva a helping hand when I can. X do not wish to say anyttainsf against the 

 use of PaiiB green and ■ngrar, or bran, or any other material, for X know these 

 are all g^ood to kill bug's, such as wood lice (sow hngrs), etc. But X would like 

 to state, as X have done formerly, for the benefit of anyone bothered with sow 

 buira that I have thoroughly cleared my greenhouses of this pest by dusting* 

 frealy with HAMMOND'S SI^tTO SHOT, spreading- it well in the walks, under 

 the benches, along the side walls and between the plants, using- about 20 lbs. 

 to a 90 ft. z 100 ft. house. This Slug- Shot will not injure Carnation plants. X 

 hope that this recital of my experience will be of help to others in trouble 

 and especially recommend its use as it is not dangerous to human life as is 

 Paris green.
