licensed by the Ministry for that purpose. A Declaration based on a test 

 carried out at a non-licensed station is. therefore, illegal. 



The Ministry had already announced that arrangements could not be made 

 for any further inspections this year of establishments for which a license was 

 desired; but as it was understood that the announcement passed unnoticed by 

 a number of firms who always made it a practice to test their cereal seeds 

 before delivery to their customers, it was decided to extend the period, during 

 which applications for licenses to test cereal seeds only might be made, to 

 5th November, 1921. 



Licenses will be issued only in cases where the Ministry is satisfied that 

 the equipment and management of the establishment is in every way adequate 

 for the proper carrying out of tests, and only for the purpose of testing seeds 

 required by the licensee for his own purchases and sales.
