Joining states have pure seed laws.
and iflthe scotsman has Impure seedsl
on his hands he must get rid OF them
in the state without the seed law
Now the question naturally arises.
How are we going to obtain pure seed
.it we have no law TO enforce Its
puritys
The frst answer to thisyquestion Is:
Buy Nothing but high grade seed, even
though Il may cost more per pound
than theslowers grade article; because
in almost every case the actual cost
for the pure vital seed win be less. In
1910 the seed analyst In one OF the
states adjoining West Virginia OBJ
tanned from certain seedsmen. samples
Of the different grades OF alsike and
red clover seeds. These we're analysed
for purity and for termination He
then determined how much the pur.
chaser paid for each pound Of. pure
live seed In the hrst grade samples
aud found that in the lowest grade
samples the purchaser paid this same
price not only for every. pound Of good
seed, but also for ali the dead seed
and part OF the weed seeds AS WELL:
even though the original price per
bushel had been much less for the
lower grade than for the higher grade
seed. 81 s4
MraJ. c. Hackman, OF Missouri UNI
~yersity. cites an instance where aman1
in that state paid $500 per hundred
pounds for timothy seed, which tested
1915 per cent pure. Thus the farmer
actually paid s7.64 for every hundred
pounds ofgpure timothy seed that he
purchased.
The second answer Isl: Obtain a sam.
'sple of the seed before purchasing and
have the seller guarantee that the
goods sold will come up to the sample.
Then, IL you adognot care to do the
testing yourself, q sendEt seed to the
pExpefiment Station at Morgantowns
and have II tested for purity and for
termination. When the seed arrives.
carefully take another sample and
send it also to the Experiment Station:
to see that the seed obtained is true
to the sample. II the seed is pur.
chased from a local dealer who is anx.
ious only to handle good goods he will.
for his own satisfaction, send in sam.
pies Of all seeds purchased and thus
save each farmer to whom he sells the
trouble Of doing this for himself.

FOUR LEE LINE PILOTS
WILL BE TRIED.

-Four Mississippi river pilots
who were employed in the Mem
phis-St. Louis trade by the Lee
Line are under charges before
the United States inspectors, and
this week will face trial for him
dering commerce by quitting their
work because their demand for
higher wages was not acceeded
To.
The case is probably the first
which has developed locally under
the federal statute on which the
charges are based. The men
claim they were in their rights.
The four pilots are Harry Fitz-
gerald, G. +. Nellis, Guy Walker
and Eugene Hampton. The stat
ute under which the men will be
tried reads in part as follows;
81 II any licensed officer shall,
to the hinderance of commerce,
wrongfully or unreasOnably re-
fuse TO serve in his official capa-
city ON any vessel as authorized
by the terms of his certificate or
license his license shall be
revoked or suspended"
The men are said to have de-
manded 1925 a month or an in
crease Of % per cent.
This is said to have been refns-
ed, and, according to the charges
filed in the federal building, the
four men then quit their EN-
ployment.
