In some places sweet peas are coming 

 into flower prematurely, before having 

 made even normal growth for this date. 



In the HoUister section the rainfall 

 has been about six inches, which is less 

 than half the average. The soil is moist 

 to a depth of only five or six inches and 

 this can hardly be made to carry the 

 crops to maturity, even with the best 

 tillage. 



Hope of further rain has not been en- 

 tirely abandoned, but it is now so late 

 in the season that the chances of hav- 

 ing a soaking rain, such as is needed, 

 are slim indeed. 



INTERSTATE SEED BILL AGAIN. 



The bill to prohibit the interstate 

 shipment of impure seeds has been re- 

 introduced in the senate by Senator 

 Gronna, of North Dakota. It is the 

 same bill that failed of passage last ses- 

 sion and provides that the shipment for 

 seeding purposes from one state, terri- 

 tory or district of the United States 

 into another state, territory or district, 

 of seeds of alfalfa, barley, Canadian 

 blue grass, Kentucky blue grass, awn- 

 less brome grass, buckwheat, clover, 

 field corn, Kafir corn, meadow fescue, 

 flax, oats, millet, orchard grass, rape, 

 redtop, rye, sorghum, timothy, wheat, 

 or any other cereal or grass seeds, or 

 any vegetable seeds or flower seeds, or 

 mixtures of seeds containing any of such 

 seeds as one of the principal component 

 parts, which are adulterated or unfit 

 for seeding purposes under the provi- 

 sions of this act, is to be prohibited. 

 The Secretary of Agriculture shall make 

 such rules and regulations as will pre- 

 vent the shipment of such seed from one 

 state, territory or district into another 

 state, territory or district. This act 

 shall not operate to prohibit the ship- 

 ment of seeds for the purpose of clean- 

 ing them before offering them for sale, 

 but such shipments shall be made in 

 accordance with and be subject to such 

 regulations as the Secretary of Agri- 

 culture may deem necessary to prevent 

 the misuse of this privilege; and the 

 secretary may, if he considers it advis- 

 able, demand of the owner or consignee 

 a bond that such seed, before it is of- 

 fered for sale, will be cleaned to the 

 standard of purity specified in this act 

 or such standard as may subsequently 

 be established by the Secretary of Agri- 

 culture under the provisions of this act; 

 and such bonded seed shall not be re- 

 leased until the screenings and other 

 refuse, shall have been disposed of" in a 

 manner prescribed by the Secretary of 

 Agriculture. 



Sec. 2. Seed shall be considered adul- 

 terated within the meaning of this 

 act —
