Rep. E. T Hook will appear before
| the Committee on Public Health and
! Safety, tuesday, at Hartford. in favor
| of the bill which makes it a punisha-
BILE offense to have foul agricultural
| seed in ones possession with view
| to injuring a neighbor's fields by de-
| sign or accident. Mr.. Hook introduced
! the bill and it has occasioned consid-
| cradle comment, as the Connecticut
statutes hitherto provided no penalty
| for the despicab1e deeds of vicious
neighbors But the seedmen are alarm
ed and a powerful array of legal talent
will be there to oppose the bill, as ite
| passage, it appears, would compel
dealers to be more careful of the pur-
| ity of the seed sold by them in the fu-
| ture. But the farmers are for it, and
| the bill is likely to be favorably re-
| ported.
