 and sent to the laboratory where the red clover was found to 

 be 88.3 per cent pure, the timothy 98.6 per cent pure and the 

 hungarian 95.5 per cent pure.

 weed seeds found is based upon the examination made for deal- 

 ers which are not here reported as well as upon a few official 

 samples examined. Most of the samples here reported were
