PBESIDENT'S ADDRESS. 



An Able Document. 



It has been the good fortune of the 

 American Seed Trade Association to 

 have had many presidents who put into 

 its work much thought backed by abil- 

 ity, but seldom has the occupant of its 

 chair given the convention a stronger 

 document than the address of President 

 Robinson, presented at the Atlantic City 

 convention June 21. It contained over 

 5,000 words. In its more important fea- 

 tures it was as follows: 



President Bobinson prefaced his pa- 

 per with a word as to the prosperous 

 condition of the trade and with ref- 

 erence to the year's necrology. Then 

 he said: 



"The last year has been a somewhat 

 strenuous one in matters of public pol- 

 icy afifecting our business; while we 

 nave been trying to attend strictly to 

 our own affairs, and in a law-abiding 

 and honorable manner, yet the public 

 eye has been on us, and it is evident 

 that the public intends sooner or later 

 to have a word to say in the conduct of 

 our affairs. Between legislation that 

 has been offered and a new interpreta- 

 tion or ruling of an old law, we have 

 oepn kept busy in sustaining the prin- 

 ciple of our association, 'The Advance- 

 ment and Protection of the Interests of 

 the Seed Trade.' 



The Official Seed Analysts. 

 A year ago there was organized an 

 association known as the Association of 

 Official Seed Analysts. The object of 

 this, in matters of interest to us, was 

 to secure a more uniform analysis of 

 ^eejl and to assist in securing uniform 



^gislation. Our association appointed 

 * committee to meet these gentlemen 

 ^nd to confer with them on points of 

 ''Mutual interest, the most important of 

 ^hich was seed legislation. Chas. N. 

 ^ge, vice-chairman in charge of state 



^Rislation, was, made chairman of the 

 «ommittee. Prof. Chas. D. Woods, of

Orono, Me., was chairman of the legisla- 

 tive committee of the Association of 

 Official Seed Analysts, and called for a 

 conference of his committee with our 

 association committee at Young's hotel, 

 Boston, December 27, 1909. As many 

 important matters were to be brought 

 up at that time, and it was hoped that 

 some understanding could be arrived at 

 that would be mutually beneficial, our 

 two committees were requested to be
