ards of purity and vitality of seeds. 

 Such legislation ia highly questionable. 

 In Europe, where all of these questions 

 have been -prominently considered, no 

 country has established by law arbitrary 

 standards, for well known and oft re- 

 peated reasons. Other features of recent 

 seed legislation are the elimination of 

 weed seeds, locality where seed is grown, 

 names of seed merchants or growers, ap- 

 plicability of law only to seeds sold in 

 package or in bulk of one pound or more, 

 severe fines or imprisonment, or both, etc. 

 Not one statute or proposed bill adopts 

 the principle of intentional deception. 

 The Kentucky seed act, passed many 

 years ago, stands alone in American 

 statutes adopting this reasonable prin- 

 ciple, similar to the adulteration of seeds 

 act of Great Britain. There is no at- 

 tempt to relieve the seedsmen from the 

 rigors of the law in the case of an hon- 



It is hardly possible or necessary in my 

 brief discussion of this subject to state 

 in detail the many important features of 

 legislation affecting our business, because 

 we all, to a greater or less extent within 

 the past year, have had contact with the 

 serious conditions raised by this legis- 

 lative interference.

not easily or lightly determined. In the 

 first place, seedsmen are usually very 

 busy men at the time of year when legis- 

 latures are considering these laws. It is, 

 therefore, most trying to and almost im- 

 possible for them to keep an eye open 

 for the introduction of seed bills and, if 

 they are proposed, to carry on an active 

 campaign of objection to apparently ill- 

 advised legislation. Much more difficult 

 is it to ask merchants individually, or as 

 officers of this association, to create and
