: Sept. 23, 1940—Labeling Sweet Clover: If 
7 there is any uncertainty as to the proportion 
| of sweet clover that is white blossom, the seed 
| should be labeled as to kind only; namely, 
sweet clover. It is suggested that shippers 
| of domestic sweet clover seed in interstate 
1 commerce will be adequately protected if they 
assume that yellow blossom sweet clover is 
present in the seed in a quantity four times 
the quantity of mottled seeds present. For 
example, if a sample of sweet clover contains 
1.3% of mottled seed, it should be considered 
; to contain 5.2% yellow blossom sweet clover. 
| The seed, therefore, should be labeled as sweet 
clover or in such a manner as to show that 
| it is a mixture consisting of white blossom and 
q yellow blossom sweet clover and the percentage 
7 of each. Yellow blossom sweet clover is con- 
| sidered ‘other crop seed’? when present in seed 
| labeled “white blossom sweet clover.’?  . 
| Aug. 6, 1941—The importation of mixtures, in 
i any combination, of seed of suckling clover 
(Trifolium dubium), white clover (Trifolium 
repens), or cluster clover (Trifolium glomera- 
4 tum), for planting is not detrimental to the 
‘ use of such seeds. 
Sept. 1940—Service tests on seeds in the 
Washington laboratory of the Agricultural 
Marketing Service has been discontinued be- 
cause of the amount of routine testing and 
other activities required in the administration 
of the Federal Seed Act. The extent of serv-
