Excerpt from Results of Seed Tests for 1919: Made for the State Department of Agriculture As previously noted only 388, or 48' per cent, of the total num ber of samples collected by the inspectors were guaranteed as to purity and germination. Last year per cent of the samples were guaranteed, while two years ago 84 per cent were guaranteed. These figures indicate an increasing tendency on the part of certain seed dealers to ignore the law. Of the samples which were guaranteed for purity, 90' per cent were found to be up to or above the guarantee, while of those which were guaranteed for germination only 67 per cent were found to be up to or above the guarantee. Last year the same percentages were 9-5 and respectively. With the exception of al-sike, red clover and timothy, all the various 'classes of seeds tested this year average slightly below the standard as regards purity. In the matter of germination all classes averaged! Up to the standard except alfalfa, buckwheat, millet, red clover, and white clover.
