HARRICAN SAYS
STATE SEED LAW
TO Be ENFORCED

According to Commissioner B. A.
Harrigan, the 1891 legislature so
amended the California seed act os
to make the county agricultural
commissioners of the state coen-
forcing agents OF the act.
The act applies to all sellers OF
seed for seeding purposes and re-
Quires, according to Harrigan, that
every lot of agricultural seed, OF
five pounds or more, before being
sold, offered, or exposed for sale
within this state, must be labeled
to show the per cent of purity;
meaning freedom from weed seed,
inert matter, and other crop seed;
the per cent by weight CT weed
seed present in the seed the names
of secondary noXious weed seed
If present beyond the limits al
lowed by the act; the per cent Of
termination; the month and year
tested; and the name and address
of the vendor.
Harrigan points out that this in
formation-if carefully read by the
prospective purchaser Of seed-will
enable the purchaser to avoid the
use of weedy seed Of low germina-
ton.
The California seed act, according
to Harrigan, also provides for 10
free seed tests per year for any cit
izen of California. These tests at
ford all the information necessary
for labelling seed to meet the re-
quirementS of the act. These SAM
piles may be sent direct to the seed
laboratory, state office building,
Sacramento, or through the county
agricultural commissioners office.
Copies of the California seed act
with regulations for its enforcement
are on file at the commissioners
office and may be had for the ask
ing

answer questions at any time rela-

Another service offered by the bu-
reau of fields crops of which Har-
rigan recommends his farmers to
avail themselves is one recently put
into force whereby citizens of the
state may obtain free Of charge
each year three memoranda OF

to be used for seed, a seed labora-
tory test will also be supplied on
request. Harrigan says his office

recently-evolved X medium, which
apparently has the power of causing

Kendall induced the bacilli to go
through this change.
Under the highest power Of the
ordinary microscope, he could see
nothing moving in the fluid. except
swarm of rather active little
gramules that could be seen only
as tiny, noble points.
Examined with the Rife micro
scope, however, these points became
plainly visible as small, oval, &C
lively moving bodies, turquoise-blue
in color.
These appeared in all the cul-
lures, and could be transferred from
one culture to another through the
fine-pored filters Hence, so Dr.
Kendall considers them to be the
actual filterable forms of the ty-

to Overley, Thursday, by Herman
Kelley, 866 Eugene street, who said
he had borrowed $500 and paid cash

Benjamin w. johnson, Negro, 1915

500 shares of stock. johnson said
he never had worked in grocery

ct made any payments.
Prospect Changed Mind
One man, according to Cato, said

Overley revealed that one pros
pect for the job of directing meat
purchases, Alvin Barnes, told him
he had an $500 certified check with
him, ready TO buy STOCK before ne
visited the Better Business Bureau.
Another prospect, Overley said,
sold a grocery in West Virginia,
liter corresponding with Brock, and
game here to invest in stock, but
hanged his mind.
Cato declared that he was asked
by Brock to call on women grocery
owners and attempt to buy their
stores, including stocks of goods,
laying with stock certificates and
promises of managing the stores.
At least two employment agencies
we're asked to send unemployed
young men to the company offices,
Overley said.
