Low Grade Hairy vetch Seed

The Secretary OF Agriculture today
issued a warming to prospective pur-
chasers of hairy vetch seed against
certain lots of low grade which are
now being offered by wholesalers to
the smaller dealers.
The greater part of the hairy vetch
seed used in the United States has
thus far been imported from Europe.
Among recent importations there are
a number of seed of low quality, con-
tanning from fifteen to eighty per cent
of haiy 'vetch seed, the balance being
made up either of cultivated forms of
spring vetch, which are not hardy in
the Northern States or of various
species of wild vetches, Of doubtful
value for agricultural purposes. This
low grade seed IS now being offered
by wholesalers to smaller dealers
throughout the country and is thus
being widely distributed.
The price of hairy vetch seed is
higher this year than IN any previous
year, due largely to the increasing
demand for this seed as the advantages
of hairy vetch as winter cover crop
are becoming known. With the
present high price of seed it is espe
cially important that persons wishing
to sow hairy vetch should obtain only
pure seed as the money paid for poor
seed is wasted and failure of the
crop is sure to follow it's use.
Persons unfamiliar with the botani-
cal characters by VIII ich hairy vetch
seed can be definitely distinguished
from the seed of the other vetches
that are used as adulterants can i'll
most cases avoid the use of adulterat-
ed seed by carefully examining the
seed for points of distinction.
The seed of hairy vetch is spherical,
varying from 1892 to 5-32 of an inch
in diameter, with an average diameter
of approximately one eighth of an
inch.
The seeds of most of the other
vetches are more or less irregular IN
form, being Tense shaped or flattened
at the ends where they were crowded
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1912-09-15

together in the pod. They vary in
size, some being smaller and others
larger than hairy vetch. By spread
ing small quantity of the mixed
seed thinly on a piece of cardboard
or other smooth surface and fitting
it slightly with gentle shaking mo-
ton, the hairy vetch seeds, which are
spherical, will roll Oft, leaving be-
hind most of the seeds which are used
as adulterants.
Hairy vetch seed is dull grayish-
black with greenish tinge when the
seed is fresh, although this greenish
tinge is not present in imported seed
which is usually at least one year old
when it is offered for sale in this
country.
The seeds of the other vetches found
mixed with hairy vetch seed vary
greatly in color, some being light
gray notified with brown and black,
some uniformly brown, and others
glossier and blacker than hairy vetch.
The color of the crushed seeds is
also an indication OF the presence or
absence of adulterants. The crushed
seed of hairy vetch is a bright lemon
yellow In color.
The seeds which are used as adulter-
ants of hairy vetch seed from the
most part vary in color from a dark
fawn to a reddish orange or salmon
color. Ii small amount of seed is
crushed the pr essence of any other
color than bright lemon yellow in
dicates the seed is adulterated.
Ii the seed is not spherical it is not
hairy vetch.
II the seed is not uniformity gray
ish- black color with greenish tinge
in fresh seed it is not hairy vetch.
IT the inside of the broken seeds is
not lemon color it is not hairy vetch.
By careful examination of any
seed offered for sale with the above
suggestios in mind. any one can be
fairly sure of discovering the presence
of adulterants. Ii there is still any
doubt, samples should be submitted
to the nearest state experiment
station or seed testi ng laboratory for
critical examination. Further in
formation will be found in the follow
ing forthcoming publications: Bur-
