 received at the Official Seed Testing Station, and senders of 

 underweight samples, in the absence of the above-mentioned 

 statement, will be advised by letter that fresh samples of full 

 weitiht are required. The station will not undertake to mix two 

 underweight samples to make one sample of full weight, but will 

 return the original underweight sample on request.

 will be transferred to Cambridge early in September, and that 

 after the date of transfer, of which notification will be given in 

 the Press, samples should be addressed to the Official Seed 

 Testing Station for England and Wales, Huntingdon Koad, 

 Cambridge.

station to Cambridge, the privilege of franked correspondence 



will be withdrawn. All letters, parcels of samples, etc.. posted 



to the station at Cambridge must be fully stamped or they will 



be liable to miscarry. It is hoped that particular attention will 



be paid to this point, as otherwise much inconvenience may arise 



from delav or loss of letters and samples.
