also understand two other seed dealers 

 and growers at Rocky Ford are buying 

 quite heavily of the cull seeds. 



"The farmers here say that it ought 

 to be stopped, but say if their neigh- 

 bors do it, why not they, as they can 

 make $10 per acre more off their .'ami; 

 A farmer or seedsman cannot grow can- 

 taloupes any cheaper than he can any 

 other kind of a muskmolon and it is 

 almost impossible to get muskmelois 

 grown here, as the farmers say that 

 there is nothing in it, and still they get 

 nearly three times as much for it as 

 they do for this cull cantaloupe seed. 



"Land rents here for from $15 to 

 $25 per acre, cash rent, in advance. 

 Now, the tiller must get good crops ••.nd 

 good prices or he cannot exist. We 

 are in need of a pure seed law as badly 

 as we were in need of a pure food law, 

 and they are both hand in hand. If 

 we plant cull seeds we get cull crops, 

 and especially on melons, which are 

 consumed by the people. If melons 

 are not of good quality and firm it 

 would be like feeding the people stale 

 eggs, and of course the latter is against 

 the law. There are seedsmen like your- 

 selves who believe in buying high 

 grade seeds for their trade and who 

 would not take cheap seeds at any 

 price, and we have those who would 

 not buy anything but cheap seeds and 

 sell it at a good price by calling it 

 selected. They do not care for their 

 name; it is the money. If their planter 

 does not get a .good crop they will tell 

 him that the fault is the result of con- 

 ditions. 



"Wherever you sell your seed once 

 you will sell again, as they were se- 

 lected to grade, which puts all stand-
