MentioQ I'be Keview wnen you wnte. 



in which I would particularly call at- 

 tention to the following passage, on 

 page 2, line 13: "Containing in excess 

 three per centum by count of foul and 

 foreign seeds. ' ' 



My principal objection to the bill in 

 its present form is the word "count," 

 for which the word "weight" should 

 be substituted, as the method provided 

 in the bill has been found to be imprac- 

 tical. The Department of Agriculture 

 at Washington make all their tests by 

 weight, and furthermore, all state seed 

 analysts throughout the country recom- 

 mend that such tests should be made by 

 weight and not by count. 



As many seedsmen in New York state 

 have their seeds tested by the depart- 

 ment at Washington, all such tests 

 would be useless under the proposed law, 

 and dealers doing an interstate busi- 

 ness would be seriously handicapped, as 

 they would be obliged to make two 

 tests, one by weight and one by count, 

 because the results made by each test 

 vary materially. 



I believe if the dealers throughout 

 the state would file their protest with 

 Governor Dix, writing him especially 

 along these lines, he might be induced 

 to withold his signature from the bill 

 in its present form.
