improved methods of cleaning the seed 

 obtained for congressional distribution, 

 and its quality has been greatly improved 

 thereby. 



"Another line of work connected with 

 the seed distribution which should be 

 mentioned is the effort to bring about 

 the home production of Dutch bulbs in 

 sufficient quantity to build up a new in- 

 dustry. There are sections of the Pacific 

 coast region which seem well suited to 

 the production of these bulbs, and experi- 

 ments are under way to determine 

 whether their cultivation can be carried 

 out on a successful commercial basis. 



"The seed-testing laboratories of the 

 department have continued their efforts 

 in the interest of pure seed for the 

 farmer. Three branch laboratories are 

 now in operation, in cooperation with the 

 experiment stations of Nebraska, Mis- 

 souri and Oregon. At these laboratories, 

 as well as at the main laboratory in 

 Washington, many hundreds of samples 

 of seed submitted by farmers and seeds- 

 men are being tested for the presence of 

 adulterants, as well as for purity and 

 germination, and the results of these tests 

 reported. 



"In accordance with the authority 

 granted by congress, samples of seed of 

 forage crops have been collected and ex- 

 amined, purchases being made of those 

 showing signs of adulteration. This work 

 has been conducted along lines followed 

 in the past, the names of firms whose 

 seeds are found to be adulterated being 

 published. It is very gratifying to stati 

 that the practice of seed adulteration has 

 in this manner been practically stopped 

 save in the eases of orchard grass and 

 Kentucky bluegrass, and quite materially 

 reduced even in these cases. 



"An educational movement for the 

 purpose of encouraging greater interest 

 in good seed has been carried on by
