iiuprovcU sti'uiuij of surghum, wlieat and Tepary 

 beans. The uost promising and immediate re- 

 sults that are expected from tbe distribution of 

 seed of dry-land field crops are tlie establisli- 

 luent in general use of tlie two valuable crops of 

 feterita and Sudan grass, tlie malting available 

 of hardy and drought-resistant strains of alfalfa, 

 tbe Introduction of new and highly promising 

 <'rops, among which may be mentioned a new 

 sorghum, the Freed variety, and the Tepary beau 

 for human food. 



OPPOSE MARYLAND SEED BILL. 



Considerable opposition is beginning 

 to develop to Senator Collier's so-called 

 pure-seed bill, -which he introduced in 

 the Maryland state senate recently. 

 Baltimore seedsmen are said to be lead- 

 ing the fight against the measure. 



The bill provides that bags of seed 

 shall be plainly marked with a label 

 showing the percentage of purity, inert 

 matter, foreign seed and also the per- 

 f'fintage of germination, as proved by 

 a laboratory test of the contents of the 

 t>ag. 



It also authorizes the seed inspector 

 and analyst, appointed by the state 

 board of agriculture, or a deputy se- 

 lected by him, to enter any warehouse, 

 storeroom or building, railroad station 

 ■or steamboat wharf where seed may be 

 -otfered for sale, stored, waylaid in tran- 

 sit or held for delivery, and inspect 

 the labeling, collect samples for analy- 

 sis and obtain other needed infor- 

 mation. 



The inspector is required to pay the 

 •owner for any samples taken at a price 

 not to exceed the local market rates 

 for the same class of seeds, but he is 

 not to be delayed in his work or 

 forced to go out of his way to consult 

 with any owner or reimburse him for 

 any seed sampled when he is not with 

 the goods at the time of the inspector's 

 visit.
