in the trade as due to cheaper raw ma- 

 t^^ia' — arsenic and blue vitriol, which are 

 the chief ingredients of agricultural 

 sprays. Arsenic is now selling at 3 cents, 

 as compared with 4 cents, the minimum 

 of a year ago, while blue vitriol is quoted 

 ^t ^14 cents, the figure for this time of 

 1908 being 5 cents. 



The dealers in chemicals have been 

 waiting for this announcement in order 

 to close contracts, and the cut was re- 

 ceived with marked interest. The large 



reduction was a surprise in some circles, 

 where it had been figured that the mak- 

 ers would quote about 19 cents or 20 

 cents. 



NORTH DAKOTA SEED LAW. 



Prof. BoUey, of the Agricultural Col- 

 lege, gives the following summary of the 

 new seed law recently signed by the gov- 

 ernor : 



"The law requires that persons selling 



or exposing seeds for sale shall attach a 

 label which shall show the name of the 

 person, firm or corporation responsible 

 for the seed, and also the name of the 

 kind of seed oflfered; prohibits the sale 

 of seeds containing seeds of quack grass, 

 sow thistle, Canada thistle and dodder, 

 and requires that varieties shall be rea- 

 sonably true to name; establishes a seed- 

 testing laboratory at the Agricultural 

 College and provides for thQ inspection, 

 testing or analysis of samples to be sent
