their business as seedsmen, except that 

 debts shall not be collected nor cases 

 tried by counsel, except under a special 

 arrangement of fees. A prominent firm 

 of seedsmen, not members of either seed 

 association, expressing approval of this 

 scheme volunteered to contribute $100 

 annually to the expenses. 



Supported by the unanimous approval 

 of your oflBcers and members of the ex- 

 ecutive committee and by my own judg- 

 ment, I gave my conditional approval of 

 this plan, the condition being that this 

 convention, having the whole matter be- 

 fore it, give its formal approval and ac- 

 ceptance. 



Trial Justifies Action. 



I desire to add that since April, coun- 

 sel has taken active measures to assist 

 local seedsmen in their opposition to leg- 

 islation in Missouri, Michigan and Khode 

 Island. He has written opinions and pe- 

 titions, supplied lists of cases for seeds- 

 men in litigation and given legal advice 

 to seedsmen in their private business. He 

 has organized, subject to the cooperation 

 of this association in the plan above sug- 

 gested, a system, quietly, quickly and effi- 

 ciently to supply legislative information. 

 His reports to the committee indicate an 

 understanding of the needs and require- 

 ments of the situation and I believe he 

 will be entirely successful in not only re- 

 lieving seedsmen of a great burden of 

 detail work, but also wUl supply us with 

 that legal advice which will materially 

 assist us in the important work before us. 



I therefore present these matters to 

 the convention with my recommendation 

 that this association cooperate with the 

 Wholesale Seedsmen's League in the ap- 

 pointment of the standing committee of 

 legal affairs and the purpose for which

said committee is organized, and in re- 

 taining C. N. Smith, of Boston, as coun- 

 sel for said committee and this associa- 

 tion for the year April 1, 1909, to April 

 1, 1910, and that this association make 

 a proportionate contribution as its share 

 of the expense thereof. Furthermore, I 

 recommend that any resolutions of this 

 convention directing or suggesting the 

 policies of this association in regard to 

 seed legislation or on legal matters be 

 transferred to the chairman of said com- 

 mittee on legal affairs. 



Before passing this most important 

 subject, I desire to further emphasize 

 the necessity of providing separate laws 

 or paragraphs governing the sale of veg- 

 etable and flower seeds from those gov- 

 erning sale of grass, clover and field 

 seeds. The physical possibility of de- 

 termining accurately from samples of 

 the seed itself, seeds of most grasses 

 and clovers, and the physical impossi- 

 bility of judging vegetable and flower

seeds by sample, puts each in a class by 

 itself ,and consequently it is my opinion 

 that no legislation can or should be en- 

 acted in a single act that will be either 

 workable, fair or just. 



Work on the Tarilf. 



Next in importance to seed legislation 

 to this association is, in my opinion, the 

 tariff, and a vast amount of work has 

 been done by the committee on tariffs 

 and customs. To our chairman, J. C. 

 Vaughan, in particular, is due the utmost
