Important Information Re-
garding Seed: Sent Out
in A. C. Bulletins

Prof. H. L. Bolley Of the A.
c.. has sent out the following
bulletins: f.. .
A number of farmers and local
dealers are buying seeds from
seed houses outside Of North Da-
kota. Some Of these seedmen
are not as careful with regard to
the seeds which they submit in
mail order business as they are
of the seeds which are shipped
direct to and kept in stock by
dealers within the state, subject
to inspection.
To illustrate this pointI quote
a portion of a letter lately receiv-
ed in this office:
''Washburn, N. D., Feb. 13,
1912. Dear Sir: I am sending
you a sample of alfalfa seed un-
der another cover. I would like
very much to have you test this
seed for me. L bought 800
pounds of this from Forsythe,
Mont, and intend seeding thirty
acres myself. l expect to send
for more seed from the same
firm if it is good, for my neigh
bors. This test will do for all Of
U.s.
My answer was in part as.

Dear Sir: Referring to our
record No. Z, ,016 your, alfalfa, I
am very sorry that you did not
have this tested before you

so that on the average there
would be over seventy-f7e seeds
per ounce. This sample is also
of rather low termination. CIV
ing only 81 per cent with II per
cent of actual dead seeds.
IF farmers buy from seed
houses outside of the state where
we have no authority to inspect,
they should take special care.
However, if you will give me the
name Of such firms I think that
I will be able to get them to do
a better business in this state. :"
The lesson is obvious. If farm
ers contemplate buying seeds
from mail order houses, they
should insist on having liberal
samples submitted, and should
either test them themselves or
submit them to the pure seed
laboratory before they purchase
and after they receive the supply

ist and state seed commissioner,

I call attention Of the seed
dealers of the state to- the. fact
that our inspectors are finding
out that a number Of the elevat-
or men and various. dealers in
seeds in the smaller towns are
not properly conforming to the
labelling clause of the North Da-
kota pure seed law. =. ...~
The requirement is very SIM
pie and persons violating this
feature of the law lay themselves
liable to the penalties laid down
by Sec. 5. "&
I also call attention Of local
dealers who sell seeds by sample
and who procure their seeds
from wholesale houses outside
of the state to- the fact that it
would be wise for them to insist
on these seedmen sending to
them liberal samples of the seeds
which they intend to- sell to;
them. The, dealers eth:
er should examine these samples
very carefully themselves,

IS SEED GRAIN LAW
C0NST|T |TUT|0NAL?
!: .=.~
H. E. Peck of Kenmare Be-
lieves it is Not and Will
Test it in the Courts

The county commissioners at
their last session were petitioned
by the number Of people requir-
ed by law to furnish needy
farmers with seed grain this
spring, but for want of further
information the petition was
laid on the table until such time
as an opinion can be had from
the attorney general as to the
constitutionality of the seed
grain law in that part of it where
it says the county shall have a
first lien on the real estate. The
question arose last week when
H. E. Peck president Of the
State Loan Co. Of Kenmare came
to Bowbells to pay the taxes on
a tract of land on which his
company held a mortgage. The
treasurer would not give him a
receipt in full for all taxes on
on the land until he had paid the
seed lien contracted by the own
er. Mr.. Peck rendered the
treasurer the amount of the tax
es exclusive of the amount of
the lien, and stated that he
would positively refuse to pay
the lien until the seed grain law
was declared constitutional by
the supreme court. Mr.. Peck
held that his mortgage was
prior lien on the land, and that
his claim must be satisfied first,
and that the county had a lien
on the crop only. the COM
missioners instructed the states
attorney to write the attorney
genefal2in regard to the matter,
and if he held that the law was
unconstitutional it is very likely
that the commissioners will not
