 which the Senate supported the com- 

 mittee that had reported unfavorably 

 to the appropriation ^^s as follows: 



CANNEBS PASS UP FBISCO. 



The executiye committee of the 

 American Canners' Association, at a 

 meeting at Washington, D. C, last 

 week, decided not to hold the conven- 

 tion at San Francisco in 1915. The 

 committee will meet again probably in 

 a couple of weeks- to decide on the 

 place and time of the meeting. P. 



PEOVES LAWS ADEQUATE. 



Althongh the incident probably will 

 be cited as evidence of the need of 

 a national pure seed law, the absence of 

 any such necessity was proven at Mil- 

 waukee last week, when Alfred L. and 

 Edwin L. Rosenberg were fined $200 

 each for fraudulent use of the mails. 

 The court had it within his power to 

 impose a heavier fine or a prison sen- 

 tence had the evidence justified. 



In opposing national legislation on 

 the subject of seeds the trade has set 

 up two chief contentions: First, that 

 the need does not exist, and, second, 

 that such arbitrary standards as are 

 applied to paints, etc., can not be em- 

 ployed in the merchandising of a vari- 

 able, seasonal natural product like 

 seeds. It has been contended by the 

 trade that no necessity exists for a 

 pure seed law, since ample facilities, 

 state and national, already have been 

 provided to enlighten the man who 

 wishes to ascertain exactly what he pur- 

 chases, and that the rare cases of will- 

 ful wrong-doing can be and are ade- 

 quately covered by existing laws. The 

 Rosenberg case appears to prove the 

 latter contention. 



Rosenberg & Lieberman are wholesale 

 ^rass seed dealers at Milwaukee. The 

 firm for several years advertised itself 

 as a specialist in "dry land Montana 

 grown alfalfa seed." It urged that 

 this seed, grown farthest north of any 

 seed, was more hardy and drought-re- 

 sistant than all others. It said it prac- 

 .tically had a corner on this* seed in 

 191.'! and cautioned farmers throughout

 falfa seed grown elsewhere. Members 

 of the firm obtained the O. K. of the 

 agricultural experiment station of Wis- 

 consin for certain samples. Their chief 

 brand was "Government brand," lead- 

 ing consumers to believe the govern- 

 ment stood behind this seed. The evi- 

 dence showed that they bought much 

 alfalfa seed, not only from Europe but 

 from the section they had cautioned 

 against, and only a proportion of their 

 purchases of alfalfa came from Mon- 

 tana.
