Pure Seed ain.

A large part Of the Tuesday session
was given to 8. F. No. 4. by Buck Of
Otoe, a bill to prevent the adultera'
tfon Of agricultural seed. Myers OF Rock
had similar bill and the committee
on agriculture took features of both
and recommended the passage Of a
bill. The bill is practically a copy
of the Iowa law. but the COMMITTEES
on agriculture decided not to retain
the Iowa provision permitting two
per cent of sweet clover in alfalfa
seed. Buck tried to have this retained
on the ground that seed dealers and
botanists said it was impossible to
get pure alfalfa seed. Gammill If
Frontier made a forceful speech IN
which he denounced adulteration Of
alfalfa seed and declared it could be
prevented and that it was adulteratej
purposely. He and other senators
told of the damage done by the weed
called sweet clover. Howell of Doug
las wanted to defer action, but was
unsuccessful.
