BUYERS GUIDE 

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 
yellow blossom sweet clover and the percentage 
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 
any combination, of seed of suckling clover 
(Trifolium dubium), white clover (Trifolium 
repens), or cluster clover (Trifolium glomera- 
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- 
ice testing in the Federal-State seed labora- 
tories is to be determined by the officials of 
the states in which the laboratories are 
located.
