&%---eN3-~@S

Twenty-six lots tested by Professor
Roberts contained an average of AL
per cent of impurities, including
eight different kinds of foreign seehs
amounting to As per cent, trash and
dirt 4 per cent, and 1858 per cent ct
what was really alfalfa seed was not
germinable.
One of the samples was 95.2 per
cent impurities, and 43.4 per cent of
the rest was not germinable. Rut
20.2 per cent of the seed was true
to name and capable of terminating.
Using this sample as an example
Roberts says that computed on the
basis of the cost of standard alfalfa
seed it would have taken 1873 pounds
per acre of this seed to give as much
of stand as could have been secured
with Is pounds of standard seed. To
secure such a stand from the seed in
question it would have necessitated
the purchase of so much seed as TO
bring the actual cost up to $11.92 per
acre, making the actual cost $49.26
per bushel. But this is not ali:
There would have been sown on the
land over four million weed seeds of
various species, or 105 to the square
foot" Of another sample he says,
"the low termination per cent would
have raised the cost per acre to $5.75
besides sowing the land with $4,000
rN1a tai,
and $4,000 seeds of foxtail-or in ALI
10000 weeds of various sorts"
OF course, as matter of fact,
where bad seed is sown the actual re-
suit is a weak, poor stand of alfalfa
and a dense growth of weeds. The
land has to be plowed up and re-
seeded, the use of the land for year
is lost, and it has become foul with
weeds, many of which will be newly
introduced and noxious in character.
These findings pointedly suggest
that 1t is safe to buy seed of only
thoroughly reputable dealer or grow
er whose name and guarantee stand
for something. Get samples early
and test them. Learn positively that
it is alfalfa seed, and not something
else and that it will grow. If more
than ten per cent fails to grow dont
buy it, for something is wrong.
Choice seed the only kind worth
sowing, always commands a good
price, and is worth it. The Agricul-
tural Department at Washington, or
your State Experiment Station, will
test samples of seeds sent, and re-
port on them without charge.-F. d.

can render alfalfa growers no bet
ter service in one brief communica-
| ton than urge upon them, with en-
| phasis, the utmost caution apd pains
| taking in securing and sowing none
but the highest quality Of seed. This
quality means not only seed demon
strated as ninety or more per cent
germinable, but free from the adul-
terations and impurities likely to be
found present, most frequently from
carelessness Or shiftlessness, but Of
ten from design, and sometimes from
both. Alfalfa seed is expensive at
best, and doubly or trebly so If 1t
will not grow or carries with it trash
and quantities of other seeds which
stock a field, farm or a neighbor-
hood with weed pests that interfere
with or crowd out the alfalfa, dis
place expected profit with positive
loss, and provoke profanity.
Recognizing the fact that much OF
the seed on sale is entirely unre-
liable, the Agricultural Department at
Washington, and some of the more
wide-awake experiment stations, have
been making tests to discover the de-
fects and values of seed ordinarily
found in the market, and some start
Washington investigators for ex-
ample found in one pound of So
called alfalfa seed on sale, 32,420
noxious weed seeds; in another 23,OS2
and in still another 21,S4S. OF the
first named pound less than SO per
cent was alfalfa; less than 29 per
cent was germinable, and among its
Impurities were $3.50 seeds of dod-
der-surely the DEVILS own inven-
ton. One pound of another lot con-
tanned only fraction over 5 per cent
that would grow, and of third lot
but slightly over six per cent.
The Ohio station bought for testing
fifteen different samples, dollars
worth each. A pound from one of
these carried 1914 lambs quarter or
pigweed seeds, and another 6,420
seeds of crab grass and 1926 of fox
tail. Seed supposedly costing $3.50
per bushel was, when cleaned, found
to have cost actually $1274 per
bushel.
The Oklahoma station, among
many samples, tested one having 60
per cent pure seed and 40 per cent 81
impurities. Only 65 per cent was
germinable. Another sample which
at first sight would be classified as
good" was found to contain per
pound 453 witch grass seeds, ~
plantain seeds, 161 crab grass seeds,
80 wild carrot seeds, 459 foxtall
seeds and 1856 Russian thistle seeds.
AS the official who made this test
says, if twenty pounds of alfalfa seeu
of this grade were used to SOW an
acre one would have approximately
two seeds of witch grass and two
foxtail seeds for every ten square
feet; four seeds Of plantain, seven
anu OLA oSNNo ~ 1900
grass for each hundred square feet
These would doubtless grow, and the
mischief they might lead to nobody
can estimate.
Among samples of alfalfa SEED
offered for sale Professor Roberts, OF
the Kansas Experiment Station,
found one with more than So per
cent of impurities and "a different
kinds of foreign seeds, and these
constituted 31.5 per cent OF the
whole. In this lot were also S.S per
cent of trash and dirt and SO per cent
of the seeds true to name were In
capable of termination. Another
sample was 1913 per cent impurities
and 522 of the remainder valueless.
