pure.
From the above it is evident that in the
judgment Of the director Of the expert
ment station, it is wise to buy only high
grade seeds that are comparatively pure.
Not only are the high-grade seeds purer
but they are usually larger, plumper and
heavier, more Of them will germinate, and
they make stronger plants.
There is certainly no economy in the at
tempt to save one, two or even Ave cents q
pound on the purchase Of grass seed. Ex-
pensive as seed is, it is comparatively
small item in seeding down, when the
cost Of labor and fertilizer are taken into
confederation.

The Quality of Grass Seed.

The Maine law regulating the sale of
agricultural seeds requires that grass seed
shall be sold under guarantee as to
cultural experiment station gives analyses
of the seeds which were collected by the
inspector and those sent to the experiment
station by correspondence in 1905.
The dealers are very generally conform
ing to the law, and the purity Of most
seeds is now guaranteed. The question
naturally arises in the mind Of q farmer:
Should seed be strictly pure, and if rot,
how nearly pure should it be?
The purity of seeds varies greatly with
their kind. It is possible to grow timothy
seed so clean that it shall carry practically
no foreign weed seeds. 1t is not as easy to
grow any Of the other grasses or clovers
so clean. There is no need for the sower
ever to buy timothy seed that is much
less than 99.5 per cent. pure. Samples
have been examined by the station the
present year which contained not a single
foreign harmful seed.
The best red clover seeds will frequently

matter, although these impurities are
usually comparatively harmless. In many
of the low grade red clovers which are
only 95 per cent. pure, it sometimes hap
pens that large part of the impurities
are harmless.
1t is, however, poor policy for the sower
to buy red clover seed that is less than
9s per cent. pure. The best grades of
alsike clover will run about 9S.5 per cent.
pure on the average. 1t is doubtful if the
purchaser should buy an alsike whose
purity is less than 97.5 per cent.
Redtop is the most difficult seed of all.
It will, of course, contain more or less
chaff. 1t is difficult to grow redtop free
from timothy, and the seed cleaners find it
difficult to separate timothy seed from
redtop after it has once been introduced.
Samples of redtop carrying as high as II
or even Is per cent. Of timothy are not
unusual.
II one could be sure that the impurities
were harmless like chaff and timothy, it
might be safe to buy redtop even as low

COTTON

New York, June 24.-Herewith, I submit my usual monthly crop report, which is compiled from replies of an average date of June 18th.
 The questions submitted to my corre- spondents were as follows:
 Expressed in percentage. what is the present condition of the cotton crop in your section assuming 100 per cent. being the standard of normal or reasonably perfect development at this season?"
 What percentage of acreage in cotton under contemplation on May 25th, has since been abandoned?"
 age what is, in your opinion. the percent age of acreage actually planted in your sec ton as compared wit last year."
 How often was replanting necessary this season the acreage in cotton?"
 How late do you consider the season in your section. as compared with normal
 comparison of the condition on the 18th of June. 1907. as reported by my corre- them the 17th of May, 1sO7 state by state, is as follows:
 NC sc Ga. Fla. Ala. Miss, La. May IT ....9O7 795 79.O S4.S 64.6 5S.5 5S.2 June l9 ...69.2 "A 75.6 71.2 eco 6s:2 6l.4

 Average May 17. 1907 66 3.
 Average June IT. 1907 692.
 The figures show, as will be noticed. an average Improvement of 29 points in con dition since theV17th of May, but the aver age condition is still the lowest on record.
 There has been very serious decline m the condition of the crop in North Carolina and Virginia and a marked decline in the condition reported for South Carolina, Geor- gia Indian Territory and Oklahoma. This is largely attributed to the abnormally low and unreasonable temperatures which have prevailed in these states during most of the month of June, the temperature having been an average of nearly eighteen degrees below the normal An abandonment of A. per cent. in the acreage contemplated a month ago is reported, this abandonment be- ing largely due to the inability of planters to get seed and labor necessary for re plant ing made necessary by the sodden condition of the fields after the heavy May rains. The total indicated acreage is now 3O'4lS,OOO
 
 Throughout the entire area the crop has had to be planted average of Is per cent times and in consequence of this and the low temperatures it is reported 10 be an average of 24 days late. The outlook as disclosed by these replies is certainly grave in the most serious degree. With continuation of low temperatures or rain the world would be confronted with practically the complete failure. If on the other hand, a prolonged spell of high temperat ees should set in the practical incineration of feeble and succuent plant would result as it Is the general complaint that the develop ment of the tap root is so imperfect as to leave the crop absolutely without any means of self protection against drought. THEODORE H PRICE.

know very well that there has been a marked improvement in the condition of the crop since June 1, the fine weather and all ternating showers of the past three weeks having permitted cleaning and cultivating of the crops which were furnished by timely showers. To deny that such has been the case would only be deception by which one might deceive. not only their friends. but themselves. The point at issue Is the lateness of the crop. not only in the great production of the northern half of the belt, but in the southern half as well.
 From every section We hear of the crop improving, but we have yet to hear any, thing else except that the plant is small and not doing as well as 1t should at this time of the year. Miss Giles reported an improvement in the condition of the plant of 5.3 points from June 1st to June 18th. Today MT. Price makes the improvement since May 17th only 2.9 points. condition 69.2 vs. 66.3. and now states that AT of the original acreage, which he placed at 1 1 per cent. over last year, has been abandon ed. Such a report as that of todays. If confirmed by the government would fur nish a July condition report due July 2. sufficiently low as to startle the world, and like the June condition comparatively would be the lowest on record.
 Our idea Is that there has been an i'm provement the past month of about 7h points and that a July bureau report of about 7S might be reasonably looked for. If lower so much the better.
