TALKS WITH OUR READERS
CANADIAN AND KENTUCKY BLUE
GRASS
GRASS.

In response to a request from sew
eral of the readers of The Ranch, we
are printing the item, which is news
story from the daily press concerning
the alleged practice of misbranding
packages of grass seed and selling
them to farmers as Kentucky blue
grass when they contain much great
er proportion of Canadian blue grass.
Readers of The Ranch have written
us requesting that we investigate this
and report specifically the true condi-
ton of affairs. So we take this occa-
sion to print the item from the daily
paper and two letters showing the
results of our investigation. The item
from the daily press follows:
"The Department of Agriculture,
through the bureau of plant industry,
has issued a bulletin of the adultera-
ton and misbrands of alfalfa, red clo-
yer and grass seeds, as determined by
securing in the open market, during
1907 samples of seeds. These were an
alyzed Among the list of those firms
from whose adulterated or misbranded
seeds were obtained are three from Sc
attic, one from Everett and one from
LaConner Samples branded as Ken
lucky bluegrass, which proved to be
adulterated, were secured, the report
says, from G. H. Lilly & Co., the Puget
Sound Nursery and Seed Company, the
Seattle Seed Company, and A. G. Til
linghast, of LaConner, and the Broad
way Floral Company, of Everett.
1.-THE samples from G. H. Lilly & Co.
and the Puget Sound Nursery and Seed
Company contained only trace OF
Kentucky bluegrass, and 100 per cent.
of what is known as Canadian blue
grass, according to the experts. The
seed branded similarly which was Sc
cured from the Seattle Seed Company,
it is charged, contained 51.4 per cent.
Kentucky bluegrass and 48.6 OF Cana
dian bluegrass. The Broadway Floral
Company, of Everett, the bulletin says,
sold seed branded bluegrass that con-
tanned 100 per cent. Canadian blue
grass, and only a trace OF real blue
grass.
1.-THE report says: "Of the 429 sam
pies of Kentucky bluegrass seed OBJ
tanned, only eight were found to be
free from any trace of Canada blue
grass. In most of these samples the
the trace of Canada bluegrass found
was immature seed, showing that 1t
was harvested with the Kentucky blue
grass seed. The seeds of the two plants
not ripening at the same time, it is
improbable that mature seed Of Can
ada bluegrass would be harvested with
Kentucky bluegrass seed. In 40 sam
pies. however, Canada bluegrass seed
was found in quantities exceeding 5
per cent, 80 Of these being Canada
bluegrass seed misbranded as Kentucky
bluegrass seed"

An Island Of Massacres.

Hayti. the West Indian island, tc
which public attention has just recent
ly been directed, has been the scene
Of more massacres than any other
place on earth.
They began with the coming Of Co
lumbus and the rabble rout that fol
lowed him. In few years its 5000.
600 of gentle, brown-skinned inhabi
tants had persisted utterly, exter
minated by fire and sword and by
forced labor in the mines.
Next the buccaneers seized the un
happy island and wreaked vengeance
on the Spaniards. Presently came the
French. and for a brief space there
was some semblance of peace. But In
1898 the negroes revolted and muir
dered practically all ahe whites.
On account OF these atrocities
frightful reprisals took place when
France, in due course, reconquered the
island. But the negroes bided their
time, and presently pose agaiN under a
ruffian named Dessalimes. This time
they did the thing thoroughly. Not
only were all the Europeans put to
death, but all having any admixture
OF white blood In their veins suffered
a like fate. In all II Is computed that
100000 men, women and children
have met with violent deaths on this
island OF massacres since the inrtuding
white man first set foot on its palm.
