SNEW FEDERAL, CUR GRADES OF SEED 
SEED LAW 
‘A few years ago a new | 
Federal Seed Law was 
Y enacted requiring all in- 
' terstate seed shipments to 
be tagged according’ to 
your state seed law. It re- 
quires shipments be 
tagged in respect to nox- 
ious weeds. Also purity 
and germination _ tests 
must be given. This gives 
mail order buyers more 
protection. You get prac- 
tically the same informa- 
tion as you get from your 
local retail seed dealer.

EXPERT CLEANING 
Part of our service is 
to take good country 
seed, reclean it, grade 
it. However, we often 
buy seed which has been 
previously cleaned and 
in such instances, we do_ 
not reclean it. Remov- 
ing weed seeds, light 
stock and chaff makes 
smoother, more uniform 
and more valuable 
stock. The percentage 
of clean out is often as- 
tonishing. You may be 
able to buy country 
seed for a few cents less - 
per acre, but it is more 
to your interest to sow 
recleaned, tested seed,
