Indiina seedsmen are engaged in foisting adulterated seeds on thfarmer*. First on the list is tha: ui*nnguish*d patriot, J. A. Everest of Indianapoli.*, who is charged with selling as Kentucky bluegrass seed mixture of bluegrass seed aduiterttd c-ith Canada bluegras*. Two quantities of M*. Everett’s Kentucky bluegrass seed were ax- , amiuert as tests, 'fine—a mail earn pl*—contained 50.03 percent of i Canada bluegrass, the depirtmfm’ i reports, while tha other, a sample! : seed bonght in bclk. contained ; 135 -9 percent Canada bluegrass .. The Wi lianu 8. Gilbreath Seed ■ pany of Indianapolis is charged with sellicg as pure orchard gras* n adulterated mixture contain’rg I meadow fescue and rye grass. T rec samples were examined, containing. respectively. 11.4 percent of adulteration, according to the rep rt. John Hubbard Ar Co., of Evansville, also are accused of selling orchard gras* adulterate! wi'h meadow fescue and rye gras* the j two samples examined showing 24.35 percent and 2k05 percent cf adu.‘eration. A similar charge, • except in more aggravate! form,‘is made against the Lacy Seed and Fuel company, of Noblesville. Two samples of orchard grass sold by that firm were found to contain al altera ton to the ex'ent of 5.06 i percent and 'lpe.-'ren' respectiveiy, meadow fescue and rye gras.* being used for that purpzse. The bulletin =ay=: ‘ In carriyng out the pre-vi-i'nso: law 251 samples of seed, of Kentucky bluegrass anl 265 samples of orehard grass were obtained in the open market and exam - ined. <)f these forty-one samples i . of see I of Kentucky bluegrass were f-und to be adulterate! with Can ada bluegrass, while 133 samples of orchard grass seed were found to be adulterated, the seeds most I commonly used as adulterants being English ry« gra-s and meadow feecue. the value of neither being . more than one third to one-half that of orchard grass seed. Tnat the adulteration of orchari grass is 1 very general is evidenced by the fact that samples containing aflul- . teianr.* w»-re obtained from twenty- ‘ four st«tea. While Canad* blue arass is imported into the United Siate* m quantises varying from 600.'>00 to 7C0.000 puunds per annum, it is used only occasionally .1 this CTuntry aad it is evident ; it’ tho bulk of ths ssed imported is sold as Kentucky bluegrass. i
