WISCONSIN SEED IXGISLATION. 



J. M. Clark, of the Leonard Seed Co., 

 Chicago, was in Madison, Wis., last week 

 attending a hearing on the amendment 

 to the new seed bill now pending in 

 the Wisconsin legislature. The effect 

 of the amendment would be to place 

 under the classification of agricultural 

 seeds all canners' varieties of peas and 

 sweet corn. 



There was a further hearing of the 

 bill beginning May 25, to determine 

 whether or not the. disclaimer of the 

 seedsmen should remain in it. It seems 

 to be the desire of the canners to do 

 away with this. The seedsmen, on the 

 other hand, of course, wish it to stand. 

 For though they are willing to be re- 

 sponsible in any reasonable degree, they 

 do not wish to be held accountable for 

 the vagaries of nature, as, for instance, 

 when the product from some cause not 

 attributable to their negligence, is not 

 true to type. Whether or not the dis- 

 claimer remains or goes out, the seeds- 

 men cannot be affected to any alarming 

 extent; for if legislation is repugnant to 

 them, they will merely be under the 

 necessity of shipping to Illinois, where 

 the contract of sale can be consummated, 

 and from where the goods can be re- 

 shipped to Wisconsin. 



BUBPEE SHOBTENS HOUBS. 



After the strenuous season, when 

 long hours are the rule in all mail order 

 seed shops, the action of W. Atlee Bur- 

 pee & Co., in shortening both the work- 

 ing day and the working week, will be 

 of interest to the trade. The following 

 slip was in employees' pay envelopes 

 May 22: 



After careful consideratlOD, we have decided 

 to make a radical change in the tiours during 

 the summer of 1915, commencing June 1, by 

 bavinf; the day's work commence at 8:30 instead 

 of 8:00 a. m. Of course, those whose duties 

 require that they get in some time in advance 

 of other c-mployees will have to continue re- 

 porting at an earlier hour. 



During July and August we shall close the 

 building Friday night and the employees will 

 not report until the following Monday. This 

 special week-end holiday goes into e"ffect on 

 Friday, July 2, and will continue up to and 

 including Friday, August 27. 



The starting hour In the morning we shall con- 

 tinue at 8:30 Just as long as we think it ad- 

 visable, but both this radical change and the 

 week-end special hoUdays will, of course, be 

 governed entirely by the way our employees 

 show their appreciation. It is to be hoped there 

 win be no "cutting off corners of time" either 

 in the morning or evening; that Is, that all, no 

 matter what their wofk may tne, will be ready 

 to go to work promptly Wt 8:36 In the morning 

 and continue working right up to the moment 

 the 5 o'clock gong rings. We feel sure thut 

 if this sort of spirit is shown In the wofk, 

 we may l)e able to make the opening hour 8:30 

 permanently, but this all depends on the em- 

 ployees.
