Excerpt from Results of Seed Tests for 1917: Made for the State Department of Agriculture From the tables on the preceding pages it will be noted that 910' of the 103 samples collected were guaranteed for purity and 84 for germination. In other words, 87 per cent of the seed represented by the samples was sold according to the law as regards purity and 81 per cent as regards germination. These percentages are higher than last year, when they stood at 82 and 66 respectively. Of the total 90 samples which were guaranteed for purity, 85 of them, or 94 per cent, were found to be up to or above the guarantee. Of the 84: samples which were guaranteed for germination, 67 of them, or 8-0 per cent, were found up to or above the guarantee. This is a somewhat better showing than last year. Among the seeds tested this year alsike clover, millet, oats and timothy were on the average above the standard per cent of purity, while red clover, white clover and redtop were below the standard per cent.
