WASHINGTON COUNTY FARM
BUREAU ASSOCIATION.

Farmers this year should be particu-
larry careful in the selection of their
seed j want to call to your attention
at this time the fact that there is a
state law which concerns the sale of all
kinds of seed. The following synopsis of
the seed laws in the state of Vermont is
taken from state bulletin No. 1872.
The Wholesalers Duties.
This enactment requires: ~ That ag-
ricultural seed, the common grasses, Glow
ers and cereals, shall be truly named and
guaranteed as to its purity and freedom
from foreign matter tweed seed, chaff,
dirt, ETC.. and seed other than the kind
sold, provided such are distinguishable
by their appearance. ~ That agricul-
tural seed shall be deemed to be adulter-
ated ii it contains more than one ergo
tized seed to the ounce or more than one
seed of corn cookie and few other weeds
specified by name, unless their presence
and amount are declared on the package.
(3) That agricultural seed shall be
deemed to be adulterated if its purity is
substantially less than the statements
made in its behalf would indicate. a.
That agricultural seed shall be deemed
to be misbranded if it is labeled in
false or misleading manner or is not
guaranteed.
The Local Seed Dealers Duties.
This enactment requires; a. That
seed dealers see to it that every lot or
parcel of agricultural seed of five pounds
or over sold, offered or exposed for sale"
shall be truly named as TO its contents
and guaranteed in writing or in print as
to its purity and freedom from foreign
matter tweed seeds, chaf, dirt, etc. or
seeds other than the kinds sold, provided |
such are distingushable by their appear
ance. (2) That seed dealers see TO it |
that they sell no seed which is aduterat- |
ed or misbranded within the meaning of |
the law tsee 2, g. above). Local deal
ers who feel that they cannot know
some of the facts as to adulteration,
may, if they will, protect themselves by
securing written statements of the whole
5alers from whom they buy, as provided
by See. 8 OF the act.
The Farmers Duties.
This enactment requires: Il That the
farmer do nothing whatsoever. He may
BUY the foulest seed that was ever har-
vested, if he wants to do so; and the law
neither forbids him from doing so nor
shields him from his folly. Common
ense on the farmers part, however, re-
luires: III That the farmer, when buy
ng seed, take advantage of the protec-
ion afforded by the law. (2l That he
tote and be guided by the purity state

In the Federal court that he was will

opinions on the war. The articles

The constables will be very glad to

fact that his constables are doing

Il result of the activities of the con-
stables the scarcity has been consider

Mr.. Eirhc1bergcr'S record for train

SO expert in detecting contraband that
some of those who had hoped to
evade the quart-a-month law believe
he is equipped by nature with roent-

shirts and other pieces of wearing APP

looks into luggage in quest of illegal
