 about a great increase in the production 

 of American alfalfa seed." 



After relating the VFork done in im- 

 proving varieties in other crops, such as 

 corn, cotton, tobacco, etc., including the 

 work of exploration and pathological 

 investigation, the secretary continues: 



"The department is making a special 

 effort to educate the farmer in the mat- 

 ter of good seeds. With this end in view 

 many thousands of tests have been made 

 during the year, both for seedsmen and 

 for farmers. The work on seed adultera- 

 tion has been continued, with gratifying 

 results. Aside from the continued sale 

 of Canada bluegrass seed for Kentucky 

 bluegrass seed, fewer cases of adultera- 

 tion have been found than in former 

 years. The importation of low-grade red 

 clover seed has continued, some lots con- 

 taming over 8,000,000 weed seeds per 

 bushel. ^ 



"The work of securing, packeting, as- 

 sembling and mailing the seed for con- 

 gressional purposes was carried on the 

 same as in past years. This work is now 

 80 systematized that it goes along smooth- 

 iy, despite the large quantities of seed 

 that must be secured and sent out. The 

 total number of packages put up and dis-
