as hairy vetch were secured, of which 

 207 were found to be either adulterated 

 or misbranded, and publication is here 

 made of the analyses of these samples, 

 together with the names of the seeds- 

 men by whom they were sold or offered 

 for sale. 



"Hairy vetch seed was collected for 

 the second time in 1912, when fifty- 

 three per cent of the samples were 

 found to be adulterated or misbranded, 

 as compared with sixty-two per cent in 

 the year 1911. Of these samples, seven- 

 teen contained no seed of hairy vetch, 

 but were composed of cultivated forms 

 of spring vetch, while 190 samples con- 

 sisted of mixtures of hairy vetch, spring 

 vetch, and other vetches." 



The list of 113 firms from whom 

 "adulterated or misbranded" hairy 

 vetch was obtained is a notable- one in 

 that it is made up largely of well known 

 concerns of good repute in the seed 

 trade. In some of the previous lists of 

 the department, published under the 

 same law, the names have been almost 

 wholly unknown, not the names of the 

 seed trade at all, but people who handle 

 seeds as a side line. This time, how- 

 ever, the seed trade is caught. A few 

 of tne names in the list are those of 

 hardware and trading concerns, but the 

 majority are seed houses of recognized 

 standing. The list is sure to result in 

 a revolution in the methods of mer- 

 chandising hairy vetch. 



SEED GROWN IN IDAHO. 



A. J. Brown, of the A. J. Brown 

 Seed Co., Grand Rapids, Mich., has re- 

 turned from a ten days' trip to the 

 Snake river valley, Idaho, where he 

 has been looking into | ea ciop jiros- 

 pects. "Michigan u.sed to be the great 

 producing state for seed peas," Mr. 

 Brown told a (Irani Rapids reporter, 

 "but in recent yeais climatic conditions 

 have been unfavorable and seed dealers 

 have been forced to seek a new source 

 of supply. They tried Oregon, Califor- 

 nia and Montana without satisfactory 

 results and now they have found what 

 they want in the irrigated belt in south- 

 ern Idaho, with Twin Falls and St. 

 Anthony's as the centers. In the last 

 six years these districts have become 

 the great producing centers for seed 

 peas, wheat, potatoes and alfalfa, and 

 growers are realizing $50 and more an 

 acre from their farms. At St. An-
