BARGAIN SEED PROVES SELDOM TO BE BARGAIN Scott County Farmer Learns “Bargain" Seed Expensive A lot of white blossom sweet clover seed consigned by a mail order seed company situated outside Indiana to a Scott county farmer last spring was sampled by an inspector for the state seed commissioner at Purdue University. The seed was in a local freight station at the time the seed was sampled. A report covering the analysis of this sample of seed issued by the state seed laboratory showed the seed was very seriously misbranded as compared to the claims made on private shipping tags atB at low rate of interest on Ohio and Indiana j Farms Modern City property -LOANS First Mortgage.

tached to thy bags and would be considered as unfit for seed by almost any farmer who saw the re-; port. This seed was guaranteed to getj minate 91 per cent with four hard I seeds while the official report showed 44 per cent germination with nine hard seeds. The seed in i the lot was 95.75 per cent sweet ' clover, the rest being dirt, chaff. • weed seeds, and a small amount lof other crop seeds. The report ; showed the astonishing total of ' 17.596 weed seeds per pound, of . which 216 per pound were quack grass seed. Out of ISO pounds of this material 95.75 per cent was sweet clov- I er which leaves 17 pounds of weed seed and dirt, and of this sweet clover seed, only 44 seeds in 100 ■ showed live sprouts in the official test. This means that out of the 180 pounds of seed this farmer received only 71.7 pounds of pure immediately germinable seed of the kind be bought. He bought three bushels and got less than a ■ bushel and a Italf of sweet clover , seed that would grow. ; i Otten farmers are tempted by < what seems to be bargains offered 1 by mail order seed houses. Inspec- | tion of agricultural seeds by the 1 ; office of the state seed cominis- * 1 sioner shows that real seed bar- ; gains seldom exhist. In seed the \ I bad qualities such as noxious weed ' I seeds, low germination, and lack s of adaption to Indiana conditions f are covered up so well that the 1 ' average seed buyer can tell very 1 i little about the quality of seed by E looking at it. I How then can a farmer buy good 1 seed? By going to a good local seed ' dealer, who has a reputation for fair dealing, examine the information on the Indiana seed tag which ' you will find attached to the bag ‘ and buy on the basis of the infor- 1 ’ ination on the tag. Insist that cop- w ies of the tags corresponding to 1 i the weight of the seed you buy be * delivered to you with the seed and save the tags for your future reference and protection. And above all else plant good seed. The so called “Bargain Seed” may result I in a poor stand and a seeding of noxious weeds that will eventually place a mortgage on the farm. o Trade In 4 l>n«»A Town — Oecatm

HOJgE sme Keep your calves in dry, clean sails, free from drafts, and do uol overfeed them. Convolvulus arvenais is just another name for field biudweed, Indiana's weed enemy No. 1. How can cooperatives even approach a solution when many associations fail to recognise the value of team work and never get beyond the local stage? Indiana's leading acid tolerant legumes are lespedeza and soybeans. Both should be inoculated for best results. Farmers not having dodder ou their farms should be‘especially careful to obtain dodder-free lespedeza. Most common furs made of rale ' bit skius are called coney, lapin. seal dyed coney, and beaver dyed coney, and generally come from New Zealand. Australia and Western Europe. Do you know the ingredients in the feeds you buy? Foor ingredients will not make a good feed. Let the state teed tag guide your feed purchases. Purdue poultry specialists claim there is nothing as valuable to poul try raisers as an accurate poultry record. Maple syrup is a cash crop. Syrup of quality increases the pjofits.
