Of results largely attributable to
the persistent efforts heretofore
made by the United States De

line of seed testing. is manifest
from an inspection Of the cata-
logues Of more than fifty of the
principal seed dealers Of the coun-

All Of the firms referred to
make definite statements that they
test their seeds for termination.
Nine firms advise purchasers to
send samples either to the seed
testing laboratory OF the L. :. De
partment of Agriculture or To a
State experiment station to be
tested, Seven firms state that they
themselves follow this course in
regard to the seeds they offer aud
that the seeds are thereby official

grade represented. Six firms al
low Il stated time for making a
test, advise purchasers to make
such test ON receipt Of seeds. and
request the return of seeds which
do not satisfactorily meet the test.
Five firms state that the seeds
they are selling comply with State
laws. and a number of firms give
the percentage Of purity and ger
mination in compliance with State
laws
These statements indicate that

Most persons have noticed that
the first rain after long drought
has an almost magical effect on

effect is now believed TO be due to
the fertilizing power Of the ammo

contained as much rs .525 OF a
grain Of ammonia in each gallon,
or about seven times the amount
