YELLOW AND BROWN
ALFALFA SEED

Recent termination tests of yell
low and brown seeds of alfalfa give
some very important results.
Six samples of alfalfa seed were
separated into three lots each of
yellow seeds, brown seeds and the
original mixed seeds.
A comparison of the termination
per cent of the yellow and brown
seeds shows the yellow seed to be ap-
proximately ~ per cent more viable
than the brown seed, and 81 per
cent more viable thal the mixed
seed.
The original mixed seed contain
ed about equal parts Of yellow and
brown. Live alfalfa seed is light
olive green Commonly called yell
low in color. Brown seed is dead
and worthless for planting.
Ageing of alfalfa seed causes it
to turn brown at the same time. it
loses its vitality and the premeab-
