SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS
PURE SEED LAW OF STATE
Tennessee No Longer To Be Dump
ing Ground for NOxiOus Weed Seed.

On Saturday, March 10, the SUI
preme court of Tennessee handed
down an opinion holding that the Ten
nessee Pure Seed law, enacted in 1909,
is constitutional. It was carried to
the highest tribunal in an agreed case
by Hon. H. X. Bryson, commissioner
of agriculture. He took this action
after certain seedmen of the state OBJ
jected to the salient features of the
act and for years practically ignored
the law. In an opinion Of some twenty
pages, the court says that "the act
stands under all the tests so applied
to it,.
The decision of the court of last re-
sort will, no doubt, meet with the APP
prevail Of the farmers Of the state,
since this same law affords them I'M
usual protection and prevents Ten
nessee from being made the dumping
ground for field seeds containing all
kinds of poisonous and noxious weed
seeds.
The law, as upheld, requires on
every package of field seeds offered
for sale within the state a tag or label
showing the name Of seed, name and
address of the dealer, statement of
purity and termination and percent
age of impurities--if below standard
and locality where seed was grown.
Commissioner Bryson urges the
farmers of the state to watch for
this tag or label, as well as for the
inspection stamp, and to see that the
law upon the subject has been fully
complied with.
The commissioner also desires to
give notice to all seed dealers that
this law will hereafter be enforced to
the letter-as he sought to eforce it
before the decision was rendered. No
further excuses will be accepted, no
violations will be tolerated. 1t may be
said, however, that the commissioner
has the assurance of a large number
of leading seed dealers that they will
cooperate with him in carrying out
the provisions of the act, and that
they are in favor of any law that will
bring the seeds planted in Tennessee
to the highest standard.

BASE BALL AT HIGH SCHOOL

Now that the basket ball season is
over, the high school boys have begun
to turn their attention to base ball.
MIR. Sandlin, who will have charge Of
this work, had his men on the athletic
field Tuesday, cleaning off the field
and making preparation for practice.
Promising material seems to be plen-
tiful and the coach says that If he
can develop pitcher from among
this bunch he will have good team,
since the other positions will take
care Of themselves.
The aspiring lads have already be-
gun to warm up their wings by fling
ing the pill at recess time and after
school. AS soon as the weather man
dishes out more favorable conditions,
the boys will be given a chance to
show what they can do. Suits will be
given out in a few days and regular
practice will begin in earnest.

square dealing that formerly charac-
terized Il.
