IMPROVING THE SEED SUPPLY. 



Doubtless the adulteration of seeds 

 will be always practiced to a certain ex- 

 tent, but it is unquestioned that the 

 thorough work of the Department of 

 Agriculture in exposing dealers in adul- 

 terated seeds has exerted a most whole- 

 some influence over the trade. It is a 

 matter of much pleasure to note that 

 quite a number of the most eminent 

 seedsmen in America were not caught in 

 the dragnet spread by the department, 

 and it is reassuring to learn that the 

 most reputable firms rocognize the value 

 of the work done by the department un- 

 der direction of congress. From a letter 

 written by a representative of one of the 

 best-known eastern seed houses the ap- 

 pended quotation is made: 



We suppose that publication of the names of 

 seedsmen found dealing in adulterated seeds was 

 necessary in order to keep unscrupulous dealers 

 In line. We are always willing to cooperate 

 heartily in anything that will tend to put the 

 seed trade on a higher plane and keep it there. 

 One can not help but feel sorry for the small 

 dealer who has unintentionally sold adulterated 

 seed on account of lack of familiarity with 

 grass seed In general. On the other hand, the 

 dealer who handles grass see^ in large quanti- 

 ties lays hlmsplf open to criticism should he 

 buy seed of poor quality, as It Is a very easy 

 matter to buy on sample subject to samples 

 being found satisfactory by the United States 

 Department of Agriculture. 



If this commendable spirit had been 

 manifest on the part of all seedsmen who 

 seek to conduct their trade on a high 

 level, the support given the department 

 would have made its work even more ef- 

 ficient. These reputable seedsmen can 

 not fail to understand that the legislation 

 by congress on this subject is directly 

 in their interest, in that its rigid enforce-

ment will weed out the professional adul- 

 terators of seeds and drive from compe- 

 tition in this field the dealers who traflBc 

 in inferior, mixed and misbranded seeds 

 at low prices. Unfortunately it appears 

 that some of the leading seedsmen have 

 not been able to view the matter in this 

 light, but reflection will certainly give 

 them more accurate perception of the ef- 

 fect of this wholesome overhauling of 

 the seed trade by order of congress. 

 The fact is that many seedsmen treated 



seed inspection with indifference or con- 

 tempt. They evidently did not believe 

 that th6 law would lay its hand on their 

 industry. They certainly were generally 

 informed of the situation. Ample time 

 was allowed and repeated warning given 

 in every possible way of the enforcement 

 of the law, so that it would seem that 

 not even the smallest dealer could be 

 uninformed of the application of the test, 

 certain it is that if all the big houses 

 had come heartily to the support of the
