Prof. Helyar, of the State Agricultural
Station, has sent out warning about
Crimson clover seed. 1t appears that
great deal of seed imported last summer
remains unsold. termination tests of
this seed show much of it to be Of rather
low quality. Some of this seed is now
two years old and has lost much of its
vitality. 1t is very probable that much
of this seed will find its way to local
dealers. To make sure of good stand
samples of seed should be sent to Profess
sor Helyar, of New Brunswick. He will
test them free Of charge. II this seed
test shows weak vitality and low per-
centage of termination more seed should
be sown per acre.
