A. T. BoDDiNGTON, New York, is ex- 

 tending his operations in imported nur- 

 sery stock. 



The matter of short seed crops is im- 

 portant to all dealers, but the only one 

 who worries over it is the man who has 

 sold at a fixed price an article not yet 

 in his possession. 



Arthur G. Lee, Fort Smith, Ark., has 

 recently moved into his new warehouse 

 on the Frisco tracks. In his new loca- 

 tion he will have room to install clean- 

 ing machinery necessary to handle all 

 business at this point. 



Quite a number of seed dealers and 

 seed growers from over the country were 

 in Des Moines, la., during the last half 

 of November, giving evidence before 

 the grand jury in the case of the United 

 States vs. F. C. Graves, of the Graves 

 Seed Co. Mr, Graves was charged with 

 misuse of the mails. 



GOVERNMENT SEED TESTING. 



Address all samples and correspondence 

 concerning seed testing to Seed Labora- 

 tory, United States Department of Ag- 

 riculture, Washington, D, C, Samples 

 are often lost and reports delayed on 

 account of improper address. 



Accompany all samples with a state- 

 ment as to the exact purpose for which 

 they are sent: (1) Examination for pres- 

 «nce of adulterants or dodder. (2) Test 

 for mechanical purity. (3) Test for 

 germination. 



The examination of samples for the 

 presence of adulterants or dodder re- 

 quires but little time and will be given 

 precedence over all other work. AH sam- 

 ples sent for this purpose will be ex- 

 amined at once and reports sent by mail 

 or on special request by telegraph at the 

 expense of the receiver. 



Test for mechanical purity requires 

 the separation of the samples into three 

 parts: (1) Pure seed (the kind being ex- 



w°'?^;. ^V ^^'^^g'^ «««^ (a" seeds 

 not ot the kind being examined). (3) 

 Sticks, stones, dirt, and chaff, the determi- 

 nation of the weed seeds present, and the

termining the percentage of a sample of 

 seed which will germinate under favor^ ' 

 able conditions. These tests of most 

 seeds are easily made by anyone, al- 

 though some seeds, including many 

 grasses, are somewhat difficult to teat,
