NATIONAL SEED LEGISLATION. 



The seed trade always has deplored 

 the method by which seed legislation is 

 considered in Congress. While the deal- 

 ers in garden seeds never have admitted 

 any need for legislation, the grass seed 

 interests would welcome the enactment 

 of a national law prohibiting the im- 

 portation of seeds unfit for planting. 

 Seed legislation always has come up 

 during the seedsmen's busy season, and 

 consideration has been by means of a 

 public hearing before a large committee. 

 The conditions have not been favorable 

 for getting a final and right decision 

 of the whole question. In the hope of 

 getting such a decision as will put a 

 satisfactory end to the agitation, at the 

 recent hearing in Washington George 

 S. Green, of the Illinois Seed Co., Chi- 

 cago, proposed the appointment of a 

 commission to cons«der the whole ques- 

 tion with deliberation — but the con- 

 gressmen did not take kindly to the 

 idea. Here is the germane part of the 

 dialogue: 



Mr. Green. I believe we are here 

 constructively, not obstructively, and in 

 furtherance of this constructive method 

 I have this final suggestion to make. 

 Mr. Mann has said that he thinks there 

 is no probability that action will be 

 taken on this bill, 29163, at this session 

 of Congress. I want to suggest that 

 as' soon as practicable after the urgent 

 work that you people in Washington 

 have in hand is attended to, a commis- 

 sion be appointed of three congressmen, 

 preferably from this committee, three 

 expert seed analysts, or representatives 

 of the national or state departments, 

 three experienced grass-seed dealers, 

 and three garden-seed dealers.
