becoming more and more exacting in 

 seed requirements, and call for a higher 

 •legree of intelligence on the part of 

 the seedsman. He must know his busi- 

 ness. Unless he does, he will be up 

 against problems and questions that the 

 intelligent farmer will put to him that 

 may cause him embarrassment. 



"As to whether the recent laws have 

 been a benefit or a detriment to the 

 seedsmen is a question that the seeds- 

 men themselves can best answer. Most 

 of them are inclined to believe that 

 there are a lot of foolish laws, that 

 some of them are •decidedly ridiculous. 

 It is unfortunate, however, that many 

 of these laws have been enacted at the 

 direct recommendation of seedsmen 

 without sufficient intelligence to know 

 just what they want. There is one 

 phase of the subject, however, that we 

 will all agree is encouraging. The 

 greater the intelligence with respect to 

 the seed requirements the better the 

 possibilities for selling seeds. The in- 

 creased appreciation of good seeds is 

 apparent. The seed business of 1912 

 was the largest ever known — so far be- 

 yond any previous years that we won- 

 der if it may ever be repeated. Seeds- 

 men who advertise have found it easy 

 to sell, irrespective of the strict laws 

 that now obtain. There is a better line 

 of advertising being done, and the ques- 

 tion of honesty on the part of the 

 seed dealer doesn't scare us as it once 

 did because it is pretty generally 

 known that, if there is anything wrong 

 in the seed business on the part of any
