at the conclusion of the chief execu-

The governor, speaking for Agrl-
culture Commissioner W. Kerr Scott,
who was out of the city, emphaslz-
ed the advantages of using approved
seeds to increase crop yields and to
effect agricultural economy, citing
his own county of Cleveland as
leader in cotton yields as a result OF

cultural wealth of the state.
Following lengthy discussion OF
a proposed state seed council, d. S.
Coltrane, assistant commissioner OF
agriculture, explained provisions OF
the amended seed law, which he de-
clared has resulted in much con-
fusion since adoption.
Mr.. Coltrane stressed the fact that
while small dealers have been given
"relief'' under the amendments, the
81 license ''must not be confused with
the ST stamp tax on seed which is
also provided under the law" He
explained that license is not re-
quired for the selling of package
vegetable or flower seed, but a 81
stamp must be attached to each box
of package seed sold or offered for
sale in the state.
During the day various officials Of
the Department of Agriculture led
discussions relative to work being
done by their branch of the depart
ment and its relation to the seedmen.
A dinner meeting at the Carolina
hotel closed today's sessions. The
convention will adjourn following a
meeting tomorrow morning.
