SELECT SEED
WITH ALL CARE
Farmers Should be Careful to See
That it is Free From Wild
Oats and Weeds

TO the farmers and seed growers Of
North Dakota: During the last few
years, you have been making much
progress toward freeing Jul lands
from noxious weeds and toward grow
ing farm seeds of high quality to be
used on the lands which are cleaned
by careful cultivation and crop rota-
IN this emergency you allow your
lands to be seeded with any sort Of
weed-infested seed and mixtures Of
varieties.
Some years ago certain counties of
the state were short Of seed. An
emergency existed; county commits
sioners made contracts and furnished
seed to farmers under the seed lien
emergency act, which filled whole
and bad weeds.
At this time when the government
and all arc asking you to SOW as
much as you can and some Of you
arc short Of seed, all sorts Of agen-
cies are >sprfnging up to provide you
with that seed. You alone can protect
your purse and your ground. II you
wish to protect yourself. % should
take care to examine the seed by sam
before you SOW It. After you have
sowed the seed. you will probably not
be able to get redress.
Under the seed law "uncleaned
seed" sold for sowing purposes should
be labeled "uncleaned seed" but 1t is
as much your duty to see that it is so
labeled as the dealer. Have tho dealer
or seed providing organizations con-
tract to deliver seed Of the quality and
resented by the samples with which
they provide you. II you buy just or
binary grain or "uncleaned seed" you
will no be in position to complain af-
ter you have received the seed. It will
then be necessary for you to clean it
II o want it cleaned before sowing.
When the grain reaches you. IL you
are in doubt as to whether it meets
the specifications or reaches the char
acter Of the sample on which you
bought, take g.. reliable witness with
you and In his presence take fair sam
pies of the seed from several bags,
number the samples. and submit the
same to tia pure ,eAed laboratory ac-
companied with a signed statement,
signed by yourself and by your wit
ness or witnesses.
To the seed growera:Y You have been
striving to raise pure seed for the
market for sowing purposes. I sfeel
confident that conditions warrant the
belief that the demand for good seed
in h spring Of 1913 will far exceed
that which is now on. Now is the time
to arrange to meet that demand.
To those who provide the farmer
with seed. you. as patriotic persons,
should use every effort to provide seed
which Is worthy to be used az seed.
Do not in this time Of emergency send
seeds which will befoul the land and
destroy the hope of future crops.
