TESTING THE SEEDS.
EXPERIMENTS TO BE MADE AT THE
PAN-kMERlCAN.

Exhibit OF the Division of Botany of
Agriculture VIII Deeply Interest
the Asricalturi.tS.
The progressive agriculturist will
be interested In the exhibit of the Di-
vision of Botany of the United States
Department of Agriculture ut the Pan
American Exposition. as it relates TO
ing. The exhibit will be restricted to
only one OF the numerous lines of work
conducted by the Division of Botany
namely. pure seed Investigations II
will represent the work of the Seed
Laboratory at the Department of Agri-
culture. where samples of all seeds dis
tributed by the Government are now
carefully tested fer purity, germina-
bility. and freedom from seeds of noS-
ious weeds
Thousands Of samples from farmers
and seetsmen in all parts OF the eoun-
try are also tested ut this laboratory.
The work is of special interest to farm
erS, gardeners, seedsmen and expert
ment station workers. to whom the sub
ject of pure seeds is of vital impor-
lance.
The Seed Laboratory Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture is well recognized
as the most important seed testing sta
ton in America. Its methods. stand
ards and most important pieces of APP
paratus have been adopted for seed
testing at many of the State Expert
ment stations, The methods now in
use and many OF the instruments and
larger pieces of apparatus have been
devised and perfected by the men in
charge TO meet the necessities OF the
work
On entering the space devoted to this
exhibit at the left Of the main aisle
one sees first In glass case a purity
separating table with magnifying glass,
forcepS and other tools used by experts
in separating a sample OF commercial
seed into its component parts of pure
seed. chaff. sand and other foreign
matter and weed seeds. Next is pair
OF fine balances ON which samples are
weighed. all percentages In seed purity
tests being based upon weight. Be
yond the scales is a new combined
mixer and sampler. In this a quantity
of seeds is quickly mixed and a sample
OF the desired amount delivered which
win fairly represent the entire lot. One
OF the most attractive pieces OF appa-
ratus used in purity testing is the blast
impurity separator. which is also new
device. The air blast is furnished by a

the effect OF stopping the movement OF

OF the Switchmen. although not directly
connected with that Of the machinists,
arose from 4 situation created lay the
