The Florists' Review 



JCNE 17, 1915. 



that the sale of such a preparation in- 

 volves an implied warranty on the part 

 of the seller that it is reasonably fit 

 for the purpose for which it is sold, but 

 that there is no such warranty when the 

 manufacturer prescribes the manner in 

 which the goods are to be used, and 

 such instructions are not followed. In 

 this case it appeared that defendant's 

 general manager was instructed by 

 plaintiff that two applications of Dina- 

 mine would be required to destroy grass 

 or weeds, but that the general manager 

 did not communicate this instruction 

 to other representatives of defendant 

 who were charged with the use of the 

 chemical. On this state of facts, the 

 court held that there was no implied 

 Avarranty that one application of the 

 preparation would prove effective, and 

 hence defendant could not avoid lia- 

 bility for the agreed price because one 

 application failed to produce the re- 

 sults desired. (Interstate Chemical Co. 

 vs. M. K. & T. Ry. Co., 169 Southwest- 

 ern Reporter 1120.) 8. 



RULINOS ON REFUNDS. 



The Interstate Commerce Commission 

 has decided that the rates on beans 

 and mustard seed from Lompoc, Cal., 

 to St. Louis are not unreasonable, and 

 has dismissed the complaint of the 

 Lompoc Produce Co., which attacked 

 the rates. 



The commission has directed the 

 Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad 

 to refund $16 to the Barteldes Seed Co., 

 on account of overcharges on seed 

 shipped from Oklahoma City, Okla., to 

 Denver, Colo. E. H. P. 



HAIRY VETCH SEED SCARCE. 



The greater part of the hairy vetch 

 seed used in the United States has been 

 imported from Russia and Germany, 

 the annual importations increasing 

 from less than 100,000 pounds in 1906 

 to over 2,000,000 pounds in 1914. On 

 account of the conditions resulting from 

 the European war, only 179,000 pounds 

 of seed were imported between Novem- 

 ber 1, 1914, and May 15, 1915, and 

 there seems to be little prospect of 

 more coming in before seeding time this 

 fall. This will result in only a small 

 proportion of the normal supply of 

 hairy vetch seed being available for 

 this year's sowing. Although the do- 

 mestic production of hairy vetch seed 

 has increased for a number of years, it 

 has not increased in proportion to the 

 demand, and the price of the seed has 

 constantly advanced as its use has be- 

 come more general. 



Farmers who have hairy vetch grow- 

 ing are urged by the specialists of the 

 U. S. Department of Agriculture to 

 save their own supply of seed this year, 

 so that they may be able to continue 

 the production of this valuable crop. 

 It is not to be expected, however, that 

 prices higher than those of last year 

 will be obtained, as the high price of 

 the seed under normal conditions in 

 recent years has been the chief factor 

 in limiting the use of hairy vetch in the 

 past.
