Ornamental Plants Being
Shipped In From Belgium

CHIPMENTS from Belgium or orna-
- mental plants containing from
two or three plants to 1000 plants In
each shipment, have been coming
into the United States at the rate of
SO a day, according to the Federal
Horticultural Board. While France
sends more nursery stock during the
year than all the other European
countries combined, during October
and November more o r n a m e n t a
plants have come from Belgium than
from all the others combined.
The Belgium shipments come via
Holland, the territory where they or
iginate being on the Dutch border.
The shipments come largely to brok-
ers in New York City, who distribute
them to individuals.
France, which sends much Of our
imported fruit stock as we'll as orna-
mental trees, also continues to ship,
the territory where these stocks orig
mate being west of the war zone. The
Federal Horticultural Board has
cabled the French government re-
garding the maintenance Of the In
spection service and has received
through the French Ambassador in
formation that the service is being
maintained. Large importers Of
French stock have since confirmed
this advice.
Under the existing European con
ditions there may naturally be ex-
pected some irregularity in compli-
ance with our regulations, and
certain leniency may occasionally be
necessary, especially where safety can
be fully insured by adequate inspec-
ton on This side. .

Tests Made With Treated
heterogeneous Trade Wastes

THE fact that a number of manu-
i facturers of fertilizers are now
using treated nitrogenous trade
wastes such as hair, fur, garbage and
other animal and vegetable matter as
bases for fertilizers has led the Bu-
reau Of Soils of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture to investi-
gate the effect Of processing on these
substances.
These substances in their raw state
contain a certain amount of nitrogen,
but in a form which it is difficult for
the bacteria of the soil to break up
and make fully available for plant
use. Hair and such substances are
especially resistant to the nitrogen
transforming or ammonifying bac-
terra natural to the soils.
The manufacturers, therefore, have
been treating these raw products with
sulphuric acid, strong alkalis, or sim
liar chemicals, with the idea of maxi
Ing these materials more readily
available for plant use.
Such treated fertilizing materials
have been tried out in the Depart
ment's laboratory and the results Of
these processes have been recorded in
Department Bulletin No. 1853, "The
Nitrogen of Processed Fertilizers"
This bulletin, which is designed to
be helpful to fertilizer chemists, gives
in detail the various chemical
changes which take place in the ma
terials when treated by different pro-
cesses.
In general, the conclusion Is that
treatment Of heterogeneous trade wastes
transforms the material into a form
more easily attacked by the bacteria
in the soil and also renders certain
substances in 1t more directly avail
able for use by the plant.

law was enacted and will be strictly
enforced. What the farmer was un-
able to do for himself the law con-
templates having the scotsman do for
him.
Plenty Of Notice Given.
Seed dealers throughout the state
should take notice that, since plenty
of time has been given them by the
Commissioners office to learn tho
provisions Of the law and arrange
their stocks in conformity with 1t,
beginning with the new year all
stocks will be inspected as rapidly as
possible and all provisions of the law
actively enforced. On the other
hand, 1t Is felt by the Board that
farmers and the public generally
should cooperate with the Commits
sioner In every way possible. espe
cially by notifying him Of any deal

legally labeled both as to purity and
termination quality.
with the seed law properly en-.
forced Oregon will no longer be a
dumping ground for inferior agri-
cultural seed not salable in any of
our adjoining states, all OF which
have seed laws. Further, the reput-
able dealer that wishes to do nothing
but an honest business will no long
er have to compete with ~low-grade.
inferior, cheap seed, which is never
cheap at any price. And most of all.
farmers will not have to buy such in
ferior seed without knowing that 1t
is inferior. The result will be not
only a more desirable and prosperous
business for the seed dealers but an
increase of hundreds of thousands of
dollars annually in the incomes of the
farmers through use of better seed"
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1915-01-21
r. EGINNING with the new year,
n Oregon's pure seed law Is to be
ooffuo1y onfoyooI yEha- tha


~ actively enforced. When the
law first became nominally effective
the seed dealers of the state had al
ready bought their seed supplies for
1914 and 1t was felt by the Pure
Seed Board that 1t was only fair to
allow them an opportunity to exam
Inc their stock, get rid Of all that did
not come up to the standard of purity
set by the law, and have their houses
in order for the coming season.
In the meantime the State Dairy
and Food Commissioner, j. D. Mickle,
was authorized by the Pure Seed
Board, Of which Professor H. D.
Scudder, who is In charge Of the Col
lege seed-testing laboratory, is chair
man, to carry on a campaign of edu-
cation among the seedmen and farm
ers, acquainting them with the terms
of the law and the best name of
complying with it. The Board met
in Portland on December Is to con-
slider the progress Of this campaign
and to determine the best means of
carrying the law into effect. The
steps taken at this meeting are sum-
married. by Professor Scudder as fol-
lows:
The Board found that the Com
missioner, who Is made by the seed
law responsible for its enforcement
and for all prosecutions for violation,
has been active In this campaign. He
has secured lists of dealers and sup
piled them with copies Of the law,
fully explained.
Law Fayorably Received.
"The law is very favorably received
by the three or four leading seed
houses that do the major share of
the business. These at once took
steps to comply with its provisions.
These large houses are rapidly get
ting their stocks In shape, since they
recognize the value Of the law in put
ting their business on a high plane
of integrity and bringing them the
confidence of farmers who want moth
ing but seed of standard purity and
termination quality. There are, how
ever, a great many small dealers
throughout the state, who have not
been reached by the office and are
not familiar with the law. Many Of
these dealers handle seeds merely as
a side line of some larger business,
such as groceries, feed, mill products
and hardware, and are apparently I'M
aware that the law applies to them.
That 1t does SO apply is clearly seen
from the following summary of its
provisions:
Every. package Of seed Of one
pound or more in weight, which is ex-
posed for sale within the boundaries
Of tie state Of Oregon, must be
labeled plainly and correctly with the
name of the seed contained and with
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1915-01-21
Will Enforce Oregon's Seed Law

the purity and termination thereof;
and further, no seed containing GER
tain noxious weed seeds, such as dod-
der, Canada thistle and the like, "a
be sold at all In Oregon.
Application Wide.
1T Is thus seen that the law ap-
plies to every dealer in the state ex-
cept those who sell in small packets
of less than a pound weight. A list
of about 100 small dealers In Port
land has been prepared by the Com
missioner's office, each of which Will
be visited before January Is by a
deputy, who will explain the law fully
and at the same time give due warm
ing that its requirements must be
complied with at once. Another visit
will be made in M month to see
that all requirements have been COM
piled with. By thus clearing up the
stocks Of Portland dealers that large
ly supply small dealers throughout
the state, the standard of stocks
handled by the small country dealers
will be improved automatically. The
same procedure will then be enforced
In every part Of the state, for which
purpose lists Of dealers are rapidly
being prepared. until the entire stock
of agricultural seeds in every part of
the state is in the best condition pos
sible for the coming business with the
farmers.
1T now seems probable that many
OF the small dealers handling seeds
as a side line will drop out Of the
business entirely rather than bother
with meeting the requirements Of the
law. This will concentrate the bust
ness more among dependable seeds
men that are making every effort to
handle only the very highest class OF
seeds that comply with the standards
of purity and termination. Nothing
better than this could result for the
farmer.
Small Dealer Unreliable.
1T is the small dealer as a rule
that cares least about the quality Of
the seed he sells, often ~underselling
reliable dealers because OF the cheap
ness of his goods and reaching the
farmer with low quality seeds that
do incalcuable damage, not only in
spreading harmful weed pests but
also decreasing the yield by means Of
seeds that grow but weakly or not at
all. Thus a large part of the farmers
profits in both labor and investment
is thrown away before he starts to
pillow. Since all seed of a kind look
SO nearly alike the average farmer
does not recognize the enormous diff
ference of quality and the immense
Importance of paying a few cents per
pound more to dependable seedsmen
who furnish only high-grade seed. 1t
was for this purpose, indeed, that the

cranberries and certain other crops
has been rendered by means Of frost
warnings issued in Spring and Au-
tumn. Close attention Is paid by the
fo~recasters to the needs of these crops
at critical periods, and the growers
are kept fully advised as to the dan
gers of frost and are warned OF the
necessity of resorting to measures OF
protection through artificial heating
and smudging, or flooding the bogs in
case Of cranberries.
The establishment Of a cattle
region SERVICE" through which bull
letins containing statements OF wealth
err conditions over the stock ranges
Of the Texas panhandle and adjacent
regions are issued, constitutes a new
feature of the bureaus work. This
has been particularly effective as al
fecting the cattle industry Of the
great Southwest, having proved Of
such material value as to create a de-
mand for its continuance throughout
the entire year, instead of from April
to October as at present.
Another opportunity for service has
been found in the timbered region Of
the West during periods Of unusual
drought. This has been taken ad-
vantage Of through the issue OF spe-
cial forecasts Of hot dry winds, which
are disseminated directly to the off,
Gals of the fire patrol of the forest
service and other similar organiza-
lions, placing them on their guard at
times of unusual danger of fire incep-
ton.
A feature OF considerable moment
to scientists and students of meteor
ology was the daily issue Of a weather
map for the entire Northern Henri
sphere, begun by the bureau last jan
uary. Unfortunately, the issue of this
map was necessarily suspended at the
outbreak of the present European
a
Explorations Of the upper air and
studies Of solar radiation were con-
tinued by the bureau during the year.
No small light has been thrown upon
obscure features of weather control
through the information already OBJ
tanned OF conditions prevailing in the
upper atmosphere, and continued In
vestigations are expected to disclose
additional valuable facts. Active
field work of this character was
transferred during the year from
Mount Weather, Va, to Fort Omaha,
Neb., where more favorable condi-
lions for atmospheric exploration ex-
list.
