Grover, Principal Clerk INTRODUCTION From time to time in past issues of this bulletin the changing pattern of feed control work has been discussed. It has been pointed out that feeds now must be an- alyzed for nutritional and disease prevention factors unknown only a few years ago. Present nutritional knowledge extends far beyond the crude protein, fat, and fiber stage. Yet most mixed feed tags, so far as quantitative guarantees are con- cerned, still reflect only the nutritional facts known in the "horse and buggy" days of forty or fifty years ago. It is true that the tags contain a qualitative listing of all the recently discovered nutritional and other factors now being put into feeds. This is no insurance, however, that these factors are present in the proper amounts. Under present tag requirements it is possible for a feed containing the essentia' factors in amounts far below those recommended by nutritionists to indicate truth- fully on its tag exactly the same guarantees and list of ingredients as those carried on the tag of a feed mixed in strict accordance with nutritional recommendations. Obviously such tag information is of little value to the purchaser in helping him to distinguish between a good and an inferior feed. Equally obvious is the fact that the situation can be remedied by requiring that the tag contain either the quanti- tative declaration of the more important nutritional factors or a statement that the feed meets the minimum nutritional requirements established by either the National Research Council or a similar organization. Under such a system the qualitative listing of some of the ingredients at present would be unnecessary. In time, as the frontiers of nutritional knowledge are pushed back still farther, perhaps the listing of most ingredients eventually may be omitted. If it is known that all essential factors are present in the proper amounts it is relatively unimportant to know what ingredients are used to furnish these factors. This would not only allow the manufacturer more freedom in the selec- tion and substitution of ingredients but would work to the advantage of the farmer by enabling the manufacturer to take full advantage of price fluctuations in the cost of ingredients. POISON CASES The cases described here do not include all those submitted to the Control Service during the past year. The first three have been selected because they illustrate best that most instances of livestock poisoning can be prevented if farm- ers and others are a little more careful in handling and disposing of insecticides, weed killers, lead paint, etc. 4 CONTROL BULLETIN NO. 157 One case involves an old poultry range that was being used as a pasture. A poultry house that once stood on the range burned down. Nobody paid any atten- tion to the pile of ashes except a few head of livestock who found the taste of some- thing in the ashes to their liking, only to die later of lead poisoning. Subsequent investigation disclosed that the poultry house apparently had contained a few old pails still holding lead paint in lethal amounts. In another instance a number of cows broke through a fence and wandered over to a dump. Some of the cows ate a material that caused their death. Analysis of the stomach contents of these cows showed the presence of massive quantities of lead arsenate. A sample of some material from the dump was found to be a mixture of sulfur, lime, inert material, and lead arsenate. In a third case, the Control Service received a large jar containing the stomach contents of two heifers and a small jar with the stomach contents of a third heifer. Here again it was almost obvious that poisoning was the cause of death, since the animals involved had broken through a fence and had access to an area where insecticides were stored and mixed. A sample of the insecticide that the animals were supposed to have eaten was found to be lead arsenate. The stomach contents in the large jar also contained large amounts of lead arsenate. However, the con- tents in the small jar contained only lead and no arsenic, indicating that the third animal, unlike the other two, died of paint poisoning. After the results were reported to the veterinarian, he admitted that, following the broken fence incident, the animals were moved to another farm where the third animal died shortly afterwards. It was presumed all three animals had died because of the same poison eaten at the first farm. This was disproved when an examination of the second pasture disclosed the presence of a partially filled paint pail evidently thoroughly licked by some animal. These cases prove the point that when the hazards connected with the handling and disposal of insecticides are being considered, it should be borne in mind that livestock sometimes do break fences. Therefore, insecticides and other toxic materials should be so used, stored, and disposed of that they are inaccessible to livestock under any reasonable circumstances. As one easy preventive measure, farmers should make it a practice each spring to inspect thoroughly all pastures and other areas frequented by livestock to make certain that no harmful materials are present. If the pasture adjoins a road, weekly inspections should be made, preferably on Monday morning, along the fence near the road. To some people traveling along a country road a pasture fence seems to be an inviting target over which to throw the week's accumulation of rubbish, which may include insecticides and paint pails. Possibly, the veterinarians, the Extension Service, the feed dealers, the Con- trol Service, and others interested in the farmer's problems can do a better educa- tional job in helping the farmer prevent some of the future livestock losses under circumstances similar to those cited here. It must be gratifying to the veterinarian when he makes a correct diagnosis in a poison case in which elusive and somewhat contradictory diagnostic factors may be involved. The chemist, too, finds a certain satisfaction in the sense of a job well done when he identifies and measures the toxic ingredient that caused INSPECTION OF COMMERCIAL FEEDSTUFFS 5 death. The farmer, however, derives little comfort from the knowledge that several head of his finest stock would still be alive if he had taken a little more care in the disposal of insecticide or paint containers. The Control Service occasionally receives requests for analytical help in another type of poisoning. This usually involves the examination of viscera or stomach contents of pets. The sample is generally submitted by someone who has had trouble with his neighbors. The question asked by the Control Service always is "What are you going to do with the analytical results?" Many people have the wrong idea about the value of such results. For example, two neighbors are not on speaking terms and one has been heard to say that he in- tended to "get even" with his neighbor because of some real or fancied grievance. Some time later the neighbor's dog dies, and the veterinarian diagnoses the case as one of poisoning. The owner usually thinks that if he can only prove the presence of a poison by chemical test he would be able to haul his neighbor into court and make him pay. It is not that easy as the following incident will show. Several months ago the S.P.C.A. agent for the Springfield area brought in a sample for analysis and said he thought he would have a strong case against a par- ticular person if he were able to prove the presence of a poison in the sample. The facts presented by the agent seemed strong enough to warrant the analysis of the sample. It was disclosed that a certain woman had publicly avowed her intention to do something about her neighbor's cats, particularly those that chose her flower gar- dens in which to do their digging. A few days later one of her neighbors saw her throwing pieces of something on different areas of her lawn. When she went around the house to the other half of the lawn, the neighbor walked over and picked up what seemed to be a piece of fish. He placed this sample in a glass jar and asked his daughter to take it to the S.P.C.A. hospital. This was done and the jar was placed in a refrigerator. Several days later the sample was brought to the Control Service. The analysis showed the presence of zinc and active phosphorus. It was concluded that the sample contained zinc phosphide, a rat poison. Carrying the test further, a portion of the sample was fed to a rat. The rat died. After the report was made, the suspected woman was summoned into court, and the Control Service chemist appeared as a witness. After hearing the testimony the judge rendered a "not guilty" verdict. The judge made it clear that there was no doubt in his mind about the presence of the poison in the fish and that it was present in lethal quantity. He reached the "not guilty" decision because: 1. The sample was brought to the S.P.C.A. hospital in an unsealed container and was handled by several people before reaching the Control Service. 2. The refrigerator in which the sample was kept for several days was access- ible to several people. There was the possioility of contamination of the sample after it had been picked up from the lawn. In other words, the prosecution could not prove beyond doubt that the material the woman allegedly [ilaced on the lawn was the same material as that analyzed by the Control Ser\'ice. 3. The woman involved had a daughter about three or four years old. The judge stated he could not believe any woman would risk poisoning her child just to get rid of a few cats. 6 CONTROL BULLETIN NO. 157 In most single cases of pet poisoning, therefore, it is almost futile to have an analysis made. The pet involved usually is one that is not confined and might have picked up some toxic material anywhere within a radius of a mile from the home. If circumstances are such that only a chemical analysis is needed to clinch the case against a particular person, such analysis may be warranted, but only if the precautions implied in the above case are followed in the handling of the sample. When feed is suspected as the source of poisoning, and analysis of the feed is recommended by a veterinarian, the Control Service always cooperates. This is an essential part of feed control work and is well illustrated by the following case. Information and samples received from veterinarians in the eastern part of the State indicated that one brand of dog food was responsible for the death of a number of dogs. The dogs died with the same symptoms in each case. There were extensive internal hemorrhages and usually bleeding at the nose and mouth. These symptoms are observed in cases of poisoning caused by a rat poison known as Warfarin. Samples of feed taken at the places where poisoning occurred were fed to test groups of rats. Some of the rats died with exactly the same symptoms observed in the affected dogs. Apparently, only one batch of dog food contained the toxic material, and the manufacturer could not explain how that batch became contaminated. Tests of subsequent batches showed them to be free of any toxic materials. The manu- facturer paid the owners for the loss of the dogs.

So tar as the Fertilizer Control Service is concerned, the magnesium oxide guaranteed must be in a water-soluble form only if the guarantee is stated in terms of water- soluble magnesium oxide. Otherwise the magnesium oxide may be present either in a water-soluble or a water-insoluble form, so long as the total amount of mag- nesium oxide found equals or exceeds the amount guaranteed. Because of several inquiries regarding the form in which magnesium oxide is present in the different fertilizers, all fertilizers carrying magnesium oxide guar- antees were analyzed for both total and water-soluble magnesium oxide. The followina; table lists the results. Mixtures Carrying Magnesium Oxide Guarantees Manufacturer Brand Name and Grade American Agricultural Chemical Co.

During the spring and summer months the garden supply houses are stocked with such a variety of different brands of garden and flower fertilizers, or plant foods as most of them are called, that the average gardener must have some difficulty in deciding which to buy. The gardener is subjected to various forms of high pressure advertising by radio and full page spreads in newspapers and garden magazines extolling the mar- velous virtues of this or that garden plant food. Magical, wonder, enchanted, miracle, and similar words to describe these products commonly appear in the advertisements. Sometimes claims are made for the presence of a multitude of trace minerals, vitamins, organic compounds, etc. And the average prices per pound of plant food range from 25 cents to $26.60 on products sold in the State. The Massachusetts Fertilizer Control Service does not pretend to know all the answers regarding garden and flower fertilizers. The purpose of this article is to present some facts regarding the composition and price of fertilizers. These facts may be of some help to gardeners. One may wonder why the cost of one pound of plant food in some small pack- age fertilizers runs as high as $26.60. There are several reasons for this. In the first place the housewife's reluctance to wrestle with an 80- or 100-pound bag of fertilizer every time she wants to give her potted flowers some plant food is under- standable. She demands a smaller package and is willing to pay a higher price per unit of plant food because she knows that it costs considerably more to sell any commodity in a small package than it does to sell it in large lots. Second, the advertising cost connected with the sale of some of these products is high. In some instances this is probably the largest item of expense for the fertilizer manufacturer. This cost obviously must be paid by the purchaser of the products being advertised. Third, the water soluble materials present in some of these plant foods cost more than some of the ingredients found in regular farm fertilizers. However, unless fertilizers that are entirely water soluble are used as plant starters or for growing plants in water or sand cultures, they have no particular advantage over the regular fertilizers, except that of ease of application. Fourth, the margin of profit in the sale of the small package fertilizer is usually considerably higher than that for regular fertilizers. These four factors combined mean, in some cases, a unit cost that far exceeds the cost for a similar unit of plant food in a bag of regular commercial fertilizer. For the smallest sized packages intended almost solely for small lots of potted flower plants the total amount expended by any one individual is so small that the economic factor is hardly worth considering. In this case the convenience of handling a small package and the absence of objectionable odor or dust while applying the fertilizer to plants probably outweigh the extra cost, especially so far as most women are concerned. FERTILIZERS AND AGRICULTURAL LIME 15 However, some of these small package fertilizers are advertised for use on out- side gardens as well. In such instances the cost of the fertilizer may amount to a sum coiisiderahle enough to justify examination of the fertilizer value that the gardener is getting for his money. So far as the nitrogen, available i)hos[)horic acid, potash, calcium, and mag- nesium are concerned, it should be noted that these elements, if present as guar- anteed, are just as effective for plant growth in one fertilizer as they are in another, regardless of the glowing terms to describe the special efficacy of these elements in some products. As for the trace minerals, vitamins, and other special ingredients sometimes claimed to be present, the amount of these in any fertilizer is so small that their cost should not be used as an excuse for a considerably higher price than that charged for another fertilizer without such claims. It should be remembered that the regular farm fertilizers supply all the plant food elements needed to grow good crops in soil. The largest tonnage of fertilizer sold in Massachusetts during 1952 was the .S-IO-IO grade. The average price was approximately .$60.00 per ton. Since the combined percentages of nitrogen, available phosphoric acid, and potash present in this grade total 25, the fertilizer contains 500 pounds of guaranteed plant food per ton. It also contains large amounts of calcium and sulfur, moderate amounts of magnesium, iron, and aluminum, and trace amounts of copper, zinc, boron, man- ganese, and many other elements. Considering only the 500 pounds of plant food guaranteed and the ton cost of -$60.00, we arrive at a figure of 12 cents per pound of plant food. Bearing in mind all the preceding information, the gardener should find the following table of some help. The reader is left to judge for himself whether any costs given are too high. The fertilizer Control Service has no jurisdiction over fer- tilizer prices. The cost per pound of plant food was calculated in the same manner as the cost for the 5-10-10 grade mentioned above. 16 CONTROL SERIES NO.

Each separate container of Vegetable Seeds must be labeled to indicate plainly tlie kind of seed and variety and the name and address of the person who labeled such seed or who sells, oflfers, or exposes it for sale. For seeds that germinate less than the Massachusetts Standard, the label must also indicate the percentage of germination exclusive of hard seeds, percentage of hard seeds if present, calendar month and year the test was completed, and the words "Below Standard" in not less than 8-point type. Date of test shall not be more than nine months old, exclusive of the month in which the test was completed. Seed that has a false or misleading label may not be sold or oflfered for sale. Eight hundred and twenty samples of vegetable seeds were received and tested in the laboratory; however, Table 3 includes only those samples that were found to be mislabeled with regard to requirements of law. The wholesaler's name, in all instances, and the germination for those samples of seed found below standard in germination are in boldface type. In samples for wiiich the found germination is not in boldface, the germination is above standard but below germination stated. Table 3 Wholesale Distributor, Variety of Seed Lab.

Lincoln, Jr., Laboratory Assistant This year is the eighteenth year that the Experiment Station has conducted tests to determine the trueness-to-type of various kinds of vegetable seed offered for sale in this State. Tests were conducted in the same manner as in former years except that a larger number of samples of each of fewer kinds were selected for testing. Kinds of seed selected consist of Sweet Corn, Radish and Summer Squash, for which the State Seed Inspector sampled a comprehensive collection of varieties and strains, consisting of 98 samples of Sweet Corn, 69 samples of Radish, and 30 samples of Summer Squash. These 197 samples of seed were taken at 30 retail establishments and represent the offerings of 28 seedsmen who wholesale seed in this State. The Corn was hand-planted June 2, in ten-foot rows, and each sample was replicated at random in the field. Although growing conditions were extremely dry in this area, the seed plots did not suffer because of the heavy soil and the ability of the soil to retain moisture. This year, for the first time, the laboratory worked in conjunction with the United States Department of Agriculture at Beltsville, Maryland, and some 45 samples of hybrid Sweet Corn, representing only the inter-state sales, were also tested at the Plant Industry Center in Beltsville. Because of extreme drought the tests at Beltsville were a failure. Only one sample of Corn was found incorrectly labeled. The remainder of the Sweet Corn conformed to type, which does not mean that all lots were of equal desirability. Seed Stocks found in the tests conformed to type but were not equally desirable, particularly in the early varieties of Spancross and Marcross. Thirty samples of Summer Squash were planted on June 3. The planting procedure consisted of two hills of four plants each duplicated at random. Here again some seed stocks were more desirable than others, but only one sample was found to be mislabeled. The 69 samples of radishes were planted in ten-foot rows in duplicate on June 3. Conformity to type was the measure of comparison in the tests, and individual plants were called off-type when they could not be classified in a group of plants ranging fairly close to the type generally accepted as typical for the particular variety under consideration. The results of all tests are listed in the following table. Table 4 Field Tests of Vegetable Seeds Wholesale Distributor, Variety of Seed True Lab.

Lincoln, Jr., Laboratory Assistant This is the eightcentli year in which flower seed studies have been conducted by the Seed Laboratory to determine the quality of fiower seed ofTered for sale in various retail outlets. Seed of 392 lots, representing 65 genera, packeted by 26 wholesalers or distributors, were obtained from 149 retail sources by the Seed Inspector. All samples were given germination tests in the laboratory, but 70 samples were not tested in the field. One of these 70 was Calonyction (Moon- flower), one was Ipomea (Morning Glory), one Azalea, two Lathyrus (Sweet Pea), two perennials, and the remaining 63 samples, not tested in the field, were the very small seeded or the long germinating types. The lots field-tested were distributed among the various genera as follows : Acrolinium 1 Cosmos 17 Martynia 1 Ageratum 6 Convolvulus 1 Mirabilis 1 Alyssum 16 Cynoglossum 3 Nemesia 1 Amaranthus 2 Dimorphotheca 1 Nicotiana 5 Anchusa 2 Dianthus 2 Papaver 5 Arctotis 2 Eschscholtzia 12 Phlox 2 Browallia 1 Euphorbia 1 Portulaca 8 Calendula 14 Gaillardia 6 Reseda 2 Calliopsis 2 Godetia 4 Scabiosa 6 Callistephus 24 Gypsophila 3 Statice 1 Celosia 6 Helianthus 4 Tagetes 42 Centaurea cyanus 10 Helichrysum 4 Tithonia 3 Centaurea imperalis . . 1 Hunnemannia 1 Tropaeolum 17 Clarkia S Iberis 6 Verbena 9 Cleome 4 Impatiens 7 Vinca 1 Cladanthus 1 Kochia 1 Zinnia 48 Dates of sowing were June 4 and 5. Seeds were sown in twenty-foot sections in the row with the exception of Alyssum, Iberis, and Portulaca, which were sown in ten-foot sections. In most cases, the quantity of seed was sufficient to plant the desired section. Germination tests were made in the laboratory for all samples of seed. The results of the laboratory germination are listed in Table 5 only for samples that gave few or no plants in the field or with good germination but found otherwise unsatisfactory. The extreme dry weather during the entire period did not afTect the trial grounds, since there w^as no sign of injury due to dryness throughout the entire testing period. Planting was delayed for about ten days because of unusually heavy rainfall prior to the planting season. The following table lists only those samples that were found in the field tests to differ in performance from that stated on the seed packet. 20 CONTROL SERIES NO. 159 Table 5 Flower Seed Inspection Wholesale Distributor, Dealer When Lab.

Tyson Smith, Associate Research Professor, Microscopist Bertram Gersten, Assistant Research Professor Mildred Vander Pol, Research Instructor George Caldes, Research Instructor Joseph Conklin, Inspector Edward F. Vlach, Technical Assistant Cora B. Grover, Principal Clerk INTRODUCTION In general, analytical results on official samples show that feed manufacturers were successful in maintaining the guarantees on the products sold in Massachu- setts during the past season. Even in cases showing deficiencies in protein and fat or excessive fiber content the variations from guaranteed analysis were not great enough to cause serious economic loss to the purchaser. When variations in drug content are considered, it is a different matter. The incorporation of small quantities of drugs in the proper amounts in feed occasionally is still a problem. Constant vigilance on the part of the feed manufacturer is neces- sary to prevent either excessive quantities of the drugs appearing in the feeds to which the drugs are being added or the unintentional appearance of the drugs in feeds for animals that may be particularly susceptible to poisoning by such drugs. Moderate excess of most drugs used for the prevention or cure of poultry diseases is tolerated by poultry. Even great excess of some drugs causes no permanent harm if not fed for prolonged periods. However, some animals, par- ticularly dogs, are affected seriously by some drugs, although the drugs are present only in the low quantities that are used in poultry feeding daily for long periods of time. Therefore, when the same mixing system is used for manufacturing poultry, swine, and dog feeds, great care must be taken to insure that the mixing machin- ery is entirely free of poultry drugs before the feeds for other animals are mixed. Also, since a part of the feed manufacturer's warehouse now resembles a con- cern manufacturing pharmaceutical products, a mistake in the choice of ingred- ients for a particular feed mixture is far more serious than it would have been a few years ago. Proper safeguards against such mistakes must be taken volun- tarily by the feed manufacturer to avoid possible future legislative action restrict- ing the use of certain drugs and other products in feeds.

Van Roekel, Miriam K. Clarke, Joseph E. Gray. G. H. Snoeyenbos. and R. A. Bennett INTRODUCTION It is gratifying to nolo that the results for the 1953-34 testing season continue to reveal progress in pullorum disease eradication in Massachusetts. The volume of testing was slightly greater than that of the previous season. The percentage of reactors was 0.004, the lowest ever attained in the history of the testing work. Likewise, the number of "breaks" (2) was the lowest on record. Only three flocks were classified as infected at the close of the testing season. Of the total birds tested, 98.43 percent were found in 100 percent tested nonreacting flocks. The testing results definitely reveal that progress is being made in the elimination of the disease. It is recognized that the cooperation of the flock owner is a primary essential in the eradication of this disease. The laboratory appreciates the fine cooperation received from the majority of flock owners in striving to obtain a common objec- tive, the eradication of pullorum disease. It is hoped that all flock owners and other agencies will continue with earnest desire and concerted cfi'ort to eliminate com- pletely this disease from Massachusetts flocks. We also wish to express our appreciation for the assistance given by the Ex- tension Service, Massachusetts Department of Agriculture, and other agencies in making this program a success.

A total of 1,195,159 samples was tested of which 0.004 percent were positive. Middlesex, Essex, Ply- mouth, and Worcester lead in the number of samples tested. Only four counties (Essex, Franklin, Middlesex, and Plymouth) revealed reactors. The followina; breeds were tested: Bantam, Barred Plymouth Rock, Brahma, Columbian, Cornish, Crosses, Delaware, Eisenbar, New Hampshire, Rhode Island Red, White American, White Leghorn, White Plymouth Rock, White Wyandotte. The White Plymouth Rock, Rhode Island Red, Barred Plymouth Rock, and New Hampshire were the predominating breeds tested. It is of interest to note the increase in the number of White Plymouth Rocks as compared with the number of the previous season. Of the total samples. 27.11 percent were taken from White Plymouth Rock, 25.17 percent from Rhode Island Red, 19.37 percent from Barred Plymouth Rock, 16.71 percent from New Hampshire, and the remainder from other breeds tested. Of the 1,090,438 samples collected from females, 38,735 were from hens and 1,051,703 from pullets, with 0.07 and 0.002 percent reactors, respectively. Among the 104,721 samples collected from males, 0.00095 percent were positive. ANNUAL TESTING OF FLOCKS Table 2 lists the results from flocks tested (1) for the first time, (2) intermit- tently, (3) for two consecutive years, and (4) for three or more consecutive years. In the group tested for the first time, no reactors were detected. In com- parison with the results of the previous season the number of tested flocks de- creased, whereas the number of tested birds increased slightly. The average num- ber of birds to a flock in this group w^as 1,945. In the intermittent and two-year-tested groups the percentages of infection were observed to be the same, and only two flocks were classified as positive. In one case the flock had revealed reactors the previous season, and the owner neglected to follow the recommendations suggested for eradication of the infection. In the other case inadequate precautions may be responsible for the introduction of the infection. It is gratifying to note that in these two groups 126,174 birds were tested of which only 0.03 percent were positive. The average number of tested birds per flock for these two groups is as follows: intermittent 1,951; and two con- secutive years 2,506. Table 2.

Only one flock was classified as positive. The average number of birds per flock was .3,895. For all the four groups 338 flocks were tested, representing 1,178,090 birds, and 1,195,159 samples of which 0.004 percent were positive. This is the lowest percentage of reactors ever detected in the testing history of the State. The 326 flocks that were 100 percent tested and nonreacting contained 1,159,567 birds or 98.43 percent of total birds tested. Three flocks were classified as positive. The average percentage of reactors among these birds was 0.48. During the past year, 80 or 21.56 percent of the flocks tested in 1952-53 were not tested. Annual testing of flocks is necessary to determine the pullorum status of flocks in order that infection may be detected before it has an opportunity to become widely disseminated. Each year infection is detected in flocks with a previous pullorum-clean record. Therefore, flock owners should recognize the need for testing. APPEARANCE OF INFECTION IN FLOCKS PREVIOUSLY NEGATIVE During the past year pullorum "breaks" were observed in only two flocks in contrast to seven the previous year. Both of these flocks had less than 0.5 percent infection. The source of the infection could not be established. In table 3 is given the incidence of "breaks" among Massachusetts tested flocks during the past fifteen years. The number of "breaks" this past year is the lowest in the testing history of Massachusetts. It is hoped that no "breaks" will occur in future years and that flock owners, hatcherymen, and other agencies will exercise due care in preventing the introduction of the infection. The precautions fre- quently violated are (1) the purchase of questionable stock, (2) hatching from pullets before they are tested, and (3) hatching of chicks or poults at a hatchery of unknown pullorum status. It cannot be emphasized and urged too strongly that one should check the official pullorum status of all breeding flocks and hatcheries before stock is pur- chased. It is recommended that the flock owners and hatcherymen observe the strictest vigilance against the introduction and spread of the disease. The following measures have been found to be efi'ective in establishing and maintaining a pullorum-free flock: 1. All the birds on the premises should be tested each year. 2. If infection is present, the entire flock should be retested within four to six weeks until a negative report is obtained, provided the value of the birds justi- fies the expenditure. 3. Every reactor, regardless of its value, should be removed from the premises and sold for slaughter immediately upon receipt of the reports. 4. Olfal from all birds dressed for market or home consumption as well as dead birds that are not fit for consumption should be burned. 5. The poultry houses, runs, and equipment should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected immediately after removal of reactors. An empty pen to each house should be provided to facilitate cleaning and disinfection during the winter months. Disinfectants approved by the United States Department of Agriculture should be used. Tabic 3. The Inoitlencc ( of "Breaks" Obs<'rv<.>:i-.>l TESTING In table 5 are listed the testing data for tlie past two seasons. Fewer flocks but more birds and samples were tested in 1953-54 than in 1952-53. The percentage of reactors was considerably less this past season. Fewer nonreacting flocks were detected in 1953-54 but the total number of birds in nonreacting flocks was greater in 1953-54 than in 1952-53. These results reveal a delinite progress and it is apparent that pulloruin in- fection is gradually but slowly being eliminated from our poultry population. Every poultryman and hatcheryman should recognize that pullorum disease can be elim- inated from the entire poultry population if adequate measures for its eradication are adopted and followed.

Only one of the 10 flocks was found positive. It is quite likely that the other nine flocks -would have qualified for an official grade if they had been 100 percent tested with no reactors. This 10 would have pcrmilU'd llu- Hock duikts lu sell huUliiiig eggs and chicks with an official label and thereby give them a greater market for their stock. Also, by testing all the birds over fivo months of ago one is ahlo to di'tfitiiim- ihc true iiulloruni Status of the flock. The testing results also reveal that 21 flocks, representing 40,968 birds, were tested intermittently- It is recognized that in some instances flocks drop out of the testing program because of lack of demand for hatching eggs or chicks. What- ever the reason may be for discontinuing testing for a period of time, it is recom- niiiidcd that every possible precaution be observed to prevent the introduction of infection. The test serves only as a means of detecting infection, but it does not prevent its introduction into a flock. The responsibility must be accepted entirely \>\ the poultryman. Therefore, if the flock is not tested the flock owner should adopt the same measures for maintaining a free flock as the flock owner who has a clean fl(H-k. It is hoped that all breeding flock owners will exert every effort to test their flocks annually and to test all birds more than five months of age before they are used for hatching purposes. It should be re-emphasized that the laboratory is organized to test during the entire year. However, the following summary reveals that there is a definite peak of testing.: -Montlis Number of Tests April, 1953 .'. . . 39,464 May 30,103 June 64,936 July 63,232 August 107,.553 September 142,872 October 184,459 November 171,868 December 147,727 January 136,401 February 91,490 March 48,558 April, 1954 1,275 1,229,938 It is verv difficult or almost impossible to emplov personnel for onlv a few months. Therefore, it is requested that certain flock owners who may have birds maturing in the slack months of testing have such birds tested during those months. They will greatlv facilitate the work in the field and laboratory, and they will receive better service. Filiiip Applieations for Tesling: Too many flock owners are not returning their applications for testing but instead filing a request for testing by letter. Too often when this is done the information provided is incomplete and frequently leads to inefficient and a more costly service. It is hoped that the flock owners will cooperate on this point and likewise file their applications early. The applieations are processed in the order received, unless for some reason, it appears expedient to deviate from this procedure. 11 f oi Series Bulletin No. 162 October 1954 Inspection of Commercial Fertilizers and Agricultural Lime Products BY Fertilizer Control Service Staff Massachusetts Agricultural Experiment Station ■^rsity of Massachusetts Amherst, Mass.

SEED INSPECTION FOR THE SEASON OF 1954 By Seed Control Service Staff John W. Kuzmeski, Research Professor in Charge of Seed Laboratory Jessie L. Anderson, Assistant Professor Mrs. Phyllis Russell, Laboratory Assistant Waldo C. Lincoln, Jr., Instructor Paul Korpita, Laboratory Assistant A. W. Clapp, State Inspector^ Leon Stowell, Laboratory Helper May J. Honnay, Clerk Massachusetts Vegetable Seed Standards for 1955 The amended seed law requires in Section 261 I that the Director of the Mass- achusetts Agricultural Experiment Station shall, after reasonable notice and hearing and with the approval of the Commissioner of Agriculture, adopt vege- table seed germination standards, prescribe rules and regulations, and in like manner modify or amend rules and regulations governing the methods of sam- pling, inspecting, analyzing, testing, and examining agricultural, vegetable and flower seeds and the tolerances to be followed in administration. A hearing for the above stated purpose was held in Horticultural Hall, Wor- cester, Massachusetts, at 3 P. M., October 18, 1946. The following set of stand- ards was so approved and adopted : GERMINATION KIND OF SEED STANDARD % Artichoke {Cynara Scolymus).... 60 Asparagus 70* Bean, Lima 70 Bean, Scarlet Runner 75 Bean, Other Varieties 75 Beet ._ 65 Broccoli 75 Brussels Sprouts 70 Cabbage 75 Cabbage, Chinese 75 Carrot 55 Cauliflower _ 75 Celeriac 55 Celery 55 Chard, Swiss 65 Chicory. 65 Citron 65 Collard 80 Corn, Sweet 75 Cress, Garden or Curled 40 Cress, Water 35 Cucumber 80 Dandelion 45 Egg Plant 60 Endive 70 Fetticus (Corn Salad) 70 GERMINATION KIND OF SEED STANDARD % Kale 75 Kohlrabi 75 Leek.„ 60 Lettuce 80 Muskmelon._ 75 Mustard 75 Okra.„„ 50* Onion._ 70 Parsley 60 Parsnip 60 Peas 80 Pepper 55 Pumpkin 75 Radish 75 Rhubarb 60 Rutabaga 75 Salsify 75 Sorrel 60 Soybean. _ 75 Spinach, Common 60 Spinach, New Zealand 40 Squash._ 75 Tomato 75 Tomato, Husk 50 Turnip 80 Watermelon 70 ♦Including Hard Seeds.

Each separate container of Vejxelable Seeds must be labeled to indicate plainly the kind of seed and variety and the name and address of the person who labeled such seed or who sells, offers, or exposes it for sale. For seeds that germinate less than the Massachusetts Standard, the label must also indicate the percentage of germination exclusive of hard seeds, percentage of hard seeds if present, calendar month and year the test w^as completed, and the words "Below Standard" in not less than 8-point type. Date of test shall not be more than nine months old, exclusive of the month in which the test was completed. Seed that has a false or misleading label may not be sold or offered for sale. Seven hundred and twenty-nine samples of vegetable seeds were received and tested in the laboratory; however. Table 3 includes only those samples that were found to be mislabeled with regard to requirements of law. The wholesaler's name, in all instances, and the germination for those samples of seed found below standard in germination are in boldface type. In samples for which the found germination is not in boldface, the germination is above standard but below germination stated. Table 3 Wholesale Distributor, Variety of Seed Lab.

Inslrnetor Paul Korpila, Laboratory Assistant This is the nineteenth year in which (lower seed studies have been con- ducted by the Seed Laboratory to determine the quahty of flower seed offered for sale in various retail outlets. Seed of 422 lots, representing 57 genera packeted by 24 wholesalers or distributors, were obtained from 143 retail sources by the Seed Inspector. All samples but one, an annual flower garden mixture, were given germination tests in the laboratory, but 25 were not tested in the field. Of those not tested in the field, eight were perennials, three bien- nials, one Kudza Vine, seven Ipomeas, and six Lathyrus. The lots field-tested were distributed among the various cenera as follows : Ageratum 5 Althea 1 Alyssum 12 Anchusa 3 Antirrhinum 5 Arctotis 1 Brarhycome 1 Cacalia 1 Calendula 16 Calliopsis 1 Callistephus 32 Celosia 2 Centaurea Cyanus. . . .21 Centaurea gymnocarpa 1 Centaurea moschata. . .1 Chrysanthemum 2 Clarkia 1 Cleome 1 Cosmos 7 Cynoglossum 2 Dahlia 2 Delphinium 10 Dianthus 1 Didiscus 1 Dimorphotheca 1 Eschscholtzia 8 Euphorbia marginata. . 2 Gaillardia 7 Gilia.. 1 Godetia 3 Gypsophila 3 Helianthus 7 Helichrysum 3 Hunnemannia 2 Iberis 5 Impatiens 3 Kochia 2 Linaria 1 Lupinus 1 Martynia 1 Mathiola 1 Mirabilis 2 Nemophila 1 Nicotiana 3 Nigella 1 Papaver 9 Petunia 14 Phlox 3 Portulaca 10 Reseda 4 Salpiglossis 2 Salvia 2 Schizanthus 1 Scabiosa 8 Tagetes 48 Tithonia 3 Tropaeolum 32 Verbena 4 Zinnia 67 Dates of sowing were June 2 and 3. Seeds were sown in 15-foot sections in the row with the exception of Alyssum, Iberis, Portulaca, Phlox, Petunia, Reseda, and Scabiosa, which were sown in 10-foot sections. In most cases, the quantity of seed was sufficient to plant the desired section. The Zinnias were planted on July 1 in 20-foot sections following the testing of the radishes in the vegetable field trials. Germination tests were made in the laboratory for all samples of seed except for one flower seed mixture. The results of the laboratory germination are listed in Table 5 for samples that are considered worthless for sale or for samples with a good germination test but found otherwise unsatisfactory in the field. A sample was considered worthless for sale if it germinated 50 per- cent or less of the tentative "standards" of flower seed. Laboratory tests found 3.8 percent of the total 422 lots tested as worthless and 22.6 percent as below the tentative "standards." The weather during the critical germination period was fair to good, and growing conditions were good throughout the first three-quarters of the sea- son. The last of the summer was unduly wet and cloudy, followed by high winds early in September, but we were able to obtain all necessary records. The following table lists only those samples that were found in the field test that differed in performance from that stated on the seed packet. 40 CONTROL SERIES NO. 163 Table 5.

Vlach, Technical Assistant Cora B. Grover, Principal Clerk INTRODUCTION \ear by year the manufaclure of feed and consequently the problem of feed control become more complicated. In this bulletin, analytical results for fourteen drugs, five vitamins, and six minerals are reported. With the appearance of new drugs including the actual use of one hormone and the con- templated use of another in feeds, the list in the next bulletin will be even longer. Although analysis of feeds for these newer factors is very important, protein, fat and fiber determinations as well as microscopic examination are still necessary and cannot be neglected. One of the major feed control problems this year has been the influx of mislabelled oat products from Canada. At least five Canadian firms were responsible for the shipment of these products labelled as ground oats. The lowest protein content found in these products was 7.2 percent. The highest fiber content was 22.1 percent. Microscopic examination showed that the products came under the definition for gi-ain and mixed screenings. The products appeared to be synthetic mixtures of oats, wheat, barley and oat hulls. To explain the findings of the (Control Service, one of the shippers ad- vanced an explanation that would Imve strained the gullibility of even a tyro in the feed business. He stated that the presence of wheat and barley in the mislabelled products was due to the field appearance of these grains in the oat crop and insisted that the products shipped consisted of the oat crop as har- vested. Since wheat and barley are much lower in fiber than oats, it is im- possible to explain how their presence in oats, without the addition of oat hulls, can raise the fiber content of the mixture far above the fiber content <)t oats. Despite proteslations to the contrary, the Massachusetts brokers and manufacturers were not all blameless in the matter. In most cases, there was a considerable price dilferential between the Canadian ground products and good grades of whole oats. It is reported that some Massachusetts manu- facturers ordered so-called "mulligan" ground oats. Because neither the Federal Food and Drug Administration nor the Massachusetts Feed Control Service can prosecute the Canadian shippers, the Massachusetts brokers and/or manufacturers were held responsible for the proper registration and labelling of these products. In the future, more atten- tion will be given to such violations of the Massachusetts Feed Law. At a time when the United States Department of Agriculture is faced with a surplus of grains, the sale of mislabelled low grade Canadian grain products cannot be tolerated.

V ^/54 During the 1954-55 testing season a total of 386 cliieken, turkey, and pheasant flocks was tested. Among 1,204,232 samples tested, 0.12 percent were found positive, which is a definite increase over the percentage (0.004) positive in the previous season. Pullorum infection was detected in eight flocks, of which five were negative the previous season. At the close of the testing season five flocks were classified as infected. It is encouraging toj note that 98.54 percent of all birds tested are in nonreacliug flocks. PuBLfCATioN OF This Document Approved by George J. Cronin, State Purchasing Agent. 2500— 7-55— 9155 13-P THIRTY -FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT OF PULLORUM DISEASE ERADICATION IN 3IASSACHUSETTS 1951-55 H. Van Roekel, Miriam K. Clarke, C. F. Smyser, and G. H. Snoeyenbos INTRODUCTION Results for the 1954-55 testing season reveal that a total of 386 flocks, repre- senting 1,204,232 samples, was tested, slightly less than that of the previous season. The definite increase in the percentage of positive tests was due largely to the testing of a few flocks that revealed a high percentage of reactors. Pullorum reactors were detected in eight flocks for the season. This number is small compared to the total number (386) of flocks tested. However, it is hoped that in the not too distant future no infected flocks will be found. It is encouraging that, of the total birds tested, 96.16 percent were found in 100-percent tested nonreacting flocks. The laboratory appreciates the fine cooperation of the majority of flock owners in striving towards a common objective, the eradication of pullorum disease. The cooperation of the flock owner is, of course, a primary essential in the eradication of the disease. It is hoped that all flock owners and other agencies mil continue with earnest desire and concerted eff'ort to eliminate the disease completely from Massachusetts flocks. We also wish to express our appreciation for the splendid cooperation received from the Extension Service, Massachusetts Department of Agriculture, and other agencies.

No reactors were detected in seven counties. Also, the White Leghorns tested revealed no reactors. Middlesex, Essex, Plymouth, and Worcester led in the number of samples tested. The following breeds were tested: Australorp, Bantam, Barred Plymouth Rock, Brahma, Columbian, Cornish, Crosses, Delaware, New Hampshire, Rhode Island Red, White American, White Leghorn, White Plymouth Rock, White Wyandotte. The White Plymouth Rock, Rhode Island Red, Barred Plymouth Rock, New Hampshire, and White Leghorn were the predominating breeds tested. The num- ber of tests for Barred Plymouth Rock and White Leghorn breeds increased slightly, whereas the number of tests for the Rhode Island Red, New Hampshire, and White Plymouth Rock breeds decreased slightly. Of the total samples tested, 26.72 per- cent were taken from White Plymouth Rock, 2.5.48 percent from Rhode Island Red, 20.25 percent from Barred Plymouth Rock, 13.05 percent from New Hampshire, And the remainder from other breeds tested. Of the 1,064,832 samples collected from females, 25,418 were from hens and 1,039,414 from pullets, with 0.92 and 0.11 percent reactors, respectively. Among the 104,990 samples collected from males, 0.07 percent were positive. ANNUAL TESTING OF FLOCKS Table 2 lists the results from flocks tested (1) for the first time, (2) intermit- tently, (3) for two consecutive years, and (4) for three or more consecutive years. In the group tested for the first time, no reactors were detected. Fewer flocks and birds were tested in this group than during the previous season. The average niimber of birds to a flock in this group was 1,236. In the intermittent group the percentage of reactors was the highest for the four groups. All the reactors were identified in one flock. The number of birds tested in this group was slightly greater than in the previous season. The average number of birds to a flock was 3,380. In the two-year group all the reactors wore identified in one flock. The number of birds tested in this group was considerably less than in the previous year. The Table 2.

In the group tested for three or more consecutive years, there were 249 flocks, representing 1,041,523 tests of which 0.08 percent were positive. Three flocks were classified as infected. One flock had revealed infection the previous two years. In the other two flocks the infection constituted a "break" of unknown origin. One of these flocks had to be sold because of the economic hardship caused by the infection. The average number of birds per flock in this group was 3,927. For all the four groups, 311 flocks were tested, representing 1,101,543 birds and 1,169,822 samples, of which 0.13 were positive. The 288 flocks that were 100 percent tested and nonreacting contained 1,059,257 birds or 96.16 percent of the total birds tested. Five flocks were classified as positive. The percentage of reactors among these birds was 8.36. During the past year, 63 or 18.64 percent of the flocks tested in 1953-54 were not tested. Annual testing of flocks is necessary to determine the pullorum status of flocks. If flock owners find it necessary to omit testing for a year or more, they should procure replacement stock from officially recognized pullorum-passed and pullorum-clean flocks. Adequate precautions should be taken against the introduc- tion of infection. APPEARANCE OF INFECTION IN FLOCKS PREVIOUSLY NEGATIVE During the past year pullorum "breaks" were observed in five flocks, a slight increase over the previous season. Three of the flocks had more than 0.5 percent reactors on the first test. In two flocks the stock was received from the same hatch- ery, and it is possible that a common source of infection was responsible for these two "breaks." In two flocks inadequate preventive measures were considered as the explanation for the "breaks." In the fifth flock, infection had been detected the previous year, but the flock had fulfilled the requirements to meet the pullorum- clean grade, but apparently the infection had not been eliminated completely from the flock. In table 3 is given the incidence of "breaks" among Massachusetts tested flocks during the past 15 years. Flock owners should be reminded that precautions frequently violated are (1) the purchase of questionable stock, (2) hatching from pullets before they are tested, (3) hatching of chicks or poults at a hatchery of unknown pullorum status. Flock owners and hatcherymen should constantly observe strictest vigilance against the introduction and spread of the disease. The following measures have been found to be eff"ective in establishing and maintaining a puUorum-free flock: 1. All the birds on the premises should be tested each year. 2. If infection is present, the entire flock should be retested within four to six weeks until a negative report is obtained, provided the value of the birds justifies the expenditure. 3. Every reactor, regardless of its value, should be removed from the premises and sold for slaughter immediately upon receipt of the report. 4. Offal from all birds dressed for market or for home consumption as well as dead birds that are not fit for consumption should be burned. Tul)Ie H.

The poultry houses, runs, and equipment should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected immediately after removal of reactors. An empty pen to each house should be provided to facilitate cleaning and disinfection during the winter months. Disinfectants approved by the United States Department of Agriculture should be used. 6. Birds removed from the premises to egg-laying contests, exhibitions, etc., should be held in quarantine and determined free of disease before they are read- mitted into the flock. 7. Purchase of stock in the form of adults, chicks, and eggs should be from known pullorum disease-free flocks. The Massachusetts Department of Agriculture, 41 Tremont Street, Boston, should be consulted regarding additions or replace- ments in the flock. 8. Eggs should not be saved for hatching until after a flock has been tested and all the infected birds removed. Early pullet testing will permit early hatching. 9. Fresh and infertile eggs from unknown or infected sources should not be fed to chickens or exposed to birds or animals, such as crows, sparrows, and skunks, that may carry or spread the infection. 10. Poultrymen should not custom-hatch for untested or infected flocks (includ- ing fowl other than chickens). 11. Owners of pullorum disease-free flocks should not permit hatching where infected eggs or stock may be found. 12. Poultrymen should not buy feed in bags that have been used or exposed to infection. (Such bags if properly disinfected will be safe for further use.) 13. Poultrymen should regard fowl other than chickens as a possible source of pullorum infection unless tested and found free from pullorum disease. 14. Poultrymen should not use equipment that has been exposed to or con- taminated with infective material unless it is properly cleaned and sterilized or disinfected. TESTING OF FOWL OTHER THAN CHICKENS During the past year, 34,410 samples from fowl other than chickens, including 25,879 turkeys, 6,758 pheasants, 1,334 quail, 256 partridge, 113 geese, 68 ducks, and 2 guinea fowl were tested. No reactors were detected. NONREACTING AND POSITIVE FLOCKS CLASSIFIED BY COUNTIES A total of 306 nonreacting flocks, representing 1,085,449 birds, was identified in 11 counties as listed in table 4. A total of 288 flocks was 100-percent tested, whereas 18 flocks were partially tested. The latter group constituted 26,192 birds located in seven counties. Partial testing is not recommended to determine the true status of the flock. It is gratifying to note that 96,16 percent of all birds tested are in 100-percent nonreacting flocks, and it is hoped that eventually all flocks will be 100-percent tested. Five flocks, representing 16,094 birds, were classified as positive in two counties at the close of the season. One of these flocks has been sold, three are in the process of being retested, and the fifth flock has not been enrolled in an immediate eradica- tion program. To further the eradication of pullorum disease the infection should be eliminated either through partial or com.plete depopulation of the flocks, and, if that is not feasible, the infection should be eliminated through testing. Infected flocks may serve as sources of infection for other flocks; therefore, every known focus of in- fection should be eliminated without unnecessary delay. Table 4.

Fewer flocks, birds, and samples were tested in 1954-55 than in 1953-54. These decreases are attributed largely to economic conditions that confronted the industry. The percentage in- crease of reactors from 0.004 to 0.1.3 was largely due to a few flocks that revealed a high percentage of reactors. In comparing the results of the two seasons it might be concluded that little or no progress was made in the eradication of the disease this past year. However, although there have been setbacks in some areas of the testing work, the over-all picture is still very encouraging regarding the elimination of the disease. Every flock owner, hatcheryman, or anyone associated with the industry should support fully the program that has as its goal complete elimination of the disease. Table 5.

FIVE -YEAR PULLORUM DISEASE TESTING SUMMARY A summary of testing results for thirty-five years of testing is listed in table 6. The results reveal that progress is being made in the reduction of pullorum disease even though this past year there has been a slight increase in the percentage of reactors. It is hoped that in future years the percentage of infection will follow a downward trend. Table 6.

It is quite possible that these results represented the true pullorum status of these flocks; however, one cannot be certain without testing all the birds on the premises. 10 To obtain maximum safety in determining the true imllorum status of a flock all birds on the premises should be tested each year. It should be emphasized again that birds should not be used for breeding purposes until they have been tested and found free of pullorum disease. Some poultrymen in the past have used untested birds to supply hatching eggs during the spring, summer, and fall months for broiler production. Flock owners whose flocks are officially classified as pullorum-passed or pullorum-clean are not permitted to sell hatching eggs or chicks from untested birds for either broiler production or for replacement stock. Each flock owner seHing hatching eggs or baby chicks should exercise every means to determine that his breeding flock is free of the disease. Filing Applications for Testing: At the beginning of each season, flock owners who received testing service the previous season are sent application cards for the next year's work. Flock owners frequently delay returning these cards and in many instances do not return them at all but attempt to make arrangements for testing by letter or telephone. It is impossible to conduct an efiicient service if the laboratory is not informed in ample time about the testing demands. This information is necessary to determine the needs for the testing service and to carry out the routing expeditiously and economically. All flock owners have been noti- fied that the laboratory will follow the policy of processing the applications in the order received. Furthermore, flock owners must recognize that the testing load has to be distributed over several months instead of two or three months because it is practically impossible to employ personnel for only a few months. Flocks should be tested as soon as the birds are five months of age, if the laboratory is in a position to do so. The following summary gives the distribution of tests by months: Months Number of Tests Months Number of Tests April, 1954 .58,640 November, 1954 166,940 May 44,283 December 142,162 June 43,361 January, 1955 98,578 July 75,246 February 72,196 August 91,238 March .56,173 September 156,216 April, 1,654 October 197.545 Total 1,204,232 Expansion in Efforts toward Pullorum Disease Eradication: Testing data in this bulletin reveal that present methods of control and eradication have been successful in reducing infection to a very small amount. To obtain further progress it appears quite evident that certain changes should be adopted to make our present program more effective. The following recommendations to expand our efforts in pullorum disease eradication have been approved by the Massachusetts Federation of Poultry Associations. I. Handling of flocks with acute outbreaks: A. Affected chicks should be destroyed or reared for broilers. If earlv liquidation is not possible, then infection should be eliminated through short interval retesting. B. In adult flocks affected birds should be sold promptly. This may pre- vent further spread to other groups in the flock. The balance of the flock 11 should be tested two to three weeks after the disposal of the affected pen or pens, followed by short interval retesting until the infection has been eliminated. C. The use of drugs in an acute outbreak should be exercised only upon recommendation by competent persons. 11. Handling of infected tested breeding flocks: A. Flock owners desiring official recognition are compelled to eradicate the disease from their flocks. B. Infected breeding flocks whose owners do not wish to receive official recognition should be subjected to a planned eradication program. III. Specific sanitary and control measures: A. Upon identification of infection, effective plans should be applied re- garding movement and sale of stock. 1. Infected semimature and mature flocks when sold should be slaughtered. 2. Reactors should be removed and sold for slaughter as soon as possible. 3. Immediately upon detection of infection in breeder and commer- cial hatcheries, effective plans should be instituted to prevent the further spread of the disease. B. Sanitary conditions consistent with a sound eradication program should be maintained on all contaminated premises. C. Only flocks that meet the qualifications of the pullorum-passed and pullorum-clean grades should be permitted to produce hatching eggs. D. Purchase of pullorum-clean stock should be more widely advocated. E. All birds entered in shows and contests should be free of pullorum disease as determined by the agglutination test. F. Regulatory aid should be requested for flock owners refusing to co- operate on a volunary basis. G. Testing of infected flocks should be done on a free basis by an official state agent. H. An extensive educational program should be a vital part of the eradica- tion campaign. 12 / / / \y I ol Series Bulletin No. 166 December 1955 Inspection of Commercial Fertilizers and Agricultural Lime Products BY Fertilizer Control Service Staff Massachusetts Agricultural Experiment Station '♦ifsity of Massachusetts Amherst, Mass.

The plant food guarantee or the grade of each fertilizer is made a part of the trade name under the heading "Name of Manufacturer and Brand" and is expressed as nitrogen, available phosphoric acid, and water soluble potash in that order. Mixtures Substantially Complying with the Guarantee. In addition to those fertilizers that meet their guarantees in every respect, this table includes also a list of those mixtures that have one or more elements below the guaranteed per- centage but have a shortage of less than $1 per ton. This table, in addition to the data mentioned in the next paragraph, contains only results of analytical tests pertaining to the average amount of water insoluble nitrogen present in some brands, since this information is of value to tobacco growers and other users of fertilizers containing a high percentage of this form of nitrogen. Potash Forms. Tests for chlorine are made only on tobacco mixtures and on those fertilizers that carry a guarantee of potash in forms other than muriate. When the amount of chlorine present in any brand exceeds the tolerance allowed for that brand, this fact is indicated by a footnote.

The results are given in the next table. Four lots were found mislabelled and consequently were withdrawn from sale. Some of the other lots sampled contained large amounts of bedding material but not in sufficient quantity to warrant withdrawal from sale. Aside from materials used as bedding, a reasonable amount of which is to be expected in animal manures, the most common contaminant found in large amounts is sand. This, also, is a normal constituent of animal manures. However, thej presence of 40-, 50-, or 60-percent sand is an indication of either deliberate adultera- tion or over-enthusiasm in the deep use of shovels or scoops when removing the| manure from the stockyards. In the future, the Massaehusclts Fertilizer Control Service will require that all dried animal manures containing more than 30 -percent sand bt labelled as "Sheep Manure and Sand.", "Cow Manure and Sand," etc. The word "sand" shall appear in the same size type as the other words in the brand name.

Each separate container of Vegetable Seeds must be labeled to indicate plainly the kind of seed and variety and the name and address of the person who labeled such seed or who sells, offers, or exposes it for sale. For seeds that germinate less than the Massachusetts Standard, the label must also indicate the percentage of germination exclusive of hard seeds, percentage of hard seeds if present, calendar month and year the test was completed, and the words "Below Standard" in not less than 8-point type. Date of test shall not be more than nine months old, exclusive of the month in which the test was completed. Seed that has a false or misleading label may not be sold or offered for sale. Six hundred and seventy-nine samples of vegetable seeds were received and tested in the laboratory; however. Table 3 includes only those samples that were found to be mislabeled with regard to requirements of the law. The wholesaler's name, in all instances, and the germination for those samples of seed found below standard in germination are in boldface type. In samples for which the found germination is not in boldface, the germination is above standard but below germination stated. Table 3 Wholesale Distributor, Variety of Seed Lab.

Tests were run on Cabbage, Chinese Cabbage, Lettuce, Rutabaga and Turnip from an exhaustive collection made by the State Seed Inspector. These samples were taken at 60 retail establishments and represent the offerings of 27 wholesale seedsmen in the State. Tests were made on 50 samples of Cabbage, 13 samples of Chinese Cabbage, 50 samples of Lettuce, 27 samples of Rutabaga, and 39 samples of Turnip. Lettuce was planted April 20. The Cabbage, Chinese Cabbage, and Rutabaga were planted May 27, and the Turnip was planted in July, following the maturity of the Lettuce. Ten days of hard cold rains followed the seeding of the Lettuce. The plantings did develop satisfactorily, however, and a good crop resulted, although a somewhat irregular one, due to the transplanting needed to fill the gaps in the low section of the field. All the plantings were made in dupli- cate and the duplicated plantings made at random. Authentic check samples were used for those that could be obtained. Normal cultural techniques were practiced, and satis- factory crops were grown. With few exceptions, the vegetables were found to be true to the name as stated on the package. Desirability of the different lots of the same variety name, however, was a dif- ferent matter. Many lots which were properly labelled certainly were not of equal merit merit as regards their marketable value. It is not the function of this laboratory to rate the various lots of seed under test, but merely to determine proper labelling practices. Below listed are the lots of seed which were found not to conform to the name as stated on the package. Table 4 Lab.

Seed of 363 lots, representing 49 genera packeted by 24 wholesalers or distributors, were obtained from 140 retailers or grower sources by the State Seed Inspectors. All samples, except four, were given germination tests in the laboratory, and all lots, except 24, were given truencss-to- type tests in the field. The lots not laboratory tested were three garden mixtures and one lot of Statice. Of the 24 lots not tested in the field, 7 were perennials, 9 biennials, 4 Ipomeas, and 4 Lathyrus: AReratum 7 .^lyssum 6 Antirrhinum 6 Calendula 13 Callistephus 28 Celosia 4 Centaurea 12 Convolvulus 1 Chrysanthemum 3 Clarkia 2 Cleome 2 Cosmos 17 Cynoglossum 1 Delphinium 10 Dianthus 4 Didiscus 1 Kschscholtzia 5 Godetia 1 Gomphrena 1 Gypsophila 3 Helianthus 6 Helichrysum 2 Hunnemania 1 Iberis 5 Impatiens 4 Kochia 1 Linaria 1 Lobelia 1 Mathiola 4 Mirabilis 1 Nicotiana 1 Papaver 4 Petunia 24 Phlox 8 Portulaca 5 Reseda 1 Rudbeckia 2 Salvia 4 Scabiosa 9 Statice 1 Tagetes 46 Tithonia 1 Tropaeolum 16 Verbena 3 Zinnia 59 Wild Flower Mixture. . . .3 ,^'Dates of sowing were June 2 and 3. Seeds were sown in 15-foot sections in the row with the exception of Ageratum, Alyssum, Antirrhinum, Chrysanthemum, Clarkia, Con- volvulus, Cynoglossum, Dianthus, Didiscus, Godetia, Hunnemania, Iberis, Linaria, Lobelia, Mathiola, Petunia, Phlox, Portulaca, Reseda, Rudbeckia, Scabiosa, Statice and Verbena, which were sown in 10-foot sections. In most instances, one packet of seed was sufficient to plant the desired section. Germination tests were made in the laboratory for all samples of seed, except three flower mixtures and one lot of Statice. The results of the germination tests are listed in Table 5 for samples found unsatisfactory in the field. The weather during the field trials was quite variable. During the critical field germina- tion period the weather was good, but thereafter followed a long period of extremely hot weather. The combination of wet heavy land with the hot temperatures was conducive to a heavy incidence of disease. Notable in this case were the Delphinium, Callistephus, and Iberis. The Tagetes were extremely late in flowering, but with the first killing frost carrying well into October, all necessary records were obtained. The following table lists those samples that were found in the field test that differed in performance from that stated on the seed packet. ♦Waldo C.

No reactors were detected in eif^ht counties. Also, the Barred Plymouth Rocks and White Leghorns tested revealed no reactors. Essex, Middlesex, Plymouth, and Bristol Counties led in the riumljer of samples tested. The following breeds were tested: Bantam, Barred Plymouth Ruck, Colum- bian, Cornish, Crosses, Delaware, New Yampshire, Rhode Island Red, White American, White Leghorn, White Plymouth Rock. The White Plymouth Rock, Rhode Island Red, Barred Plymouth Rock, New Hampshire, and White Leghorn were the predominating breeds tested. Of the total samples tested, 31.65 percent were taken from White Plymouth Rock, 26.86 percent from Rhode Island Red, 18.27 percent from Barred Plymouth Rock, 9.18 percent from the New Hampshire, and the remainder from other breeds. Of the 1,046,456 samples collected from females, 50,790 were from hens and 995,666 from pullets, with 0.37 and 0.07 percent reactors, respectively. Among the 97,909 samples collected from males, 0.03 percent were positive. ANNUAL TESTING OF FLOCKS Table 2 lists the results from flocks tested (1) for the first time, (2) intermit- tently, (3) for two consecutive years, and (4) for three or more consecutive years. In the group tested for the first time, 165 reactors were detected in one flock that is being subjected to an intensive retesting program to eliminate the infection from the flock. An acute outbreak of the disease occurred in part of the flock after the birds were in production. Fewer flocks and birds were tested in this group than during the previous season. The average number of birds to a flock in this group was 1,191. In the intermittent group only one reactor was detected. This was a Bantam on a farm where different breeds and fowl other than chickens were being reared. This flock was retested and no additional reactors were detected. The average number of birds to a flock was 2,772. Table 2.

Fewer flocks, birds, and samples were tested this past season than in 1954-55. It is encouraging to note that the percentage of reactors was appreciably less than in 1954-55. Definite progress is being made in further eliminating the disease from Massachusetts flocks and in preventing clean flocks from becoming re-infected. Every poultryman, hatcheryman, or anyone associated with the industry should strive to attain the goal of completely eliminating this disease from Massachusetts flocks. Table 5.

Unfortunately flock owners frequently delay returning these cards, and in many instances do not return them at all but attempt to make 10 / arrangements for testing by letter or telephone. The laboratory is not in a position to rentier elTicient service when ample notification is not given when testing is desired. All flock owners have been notified that the laboratory will follow the policy of processing the applications in the order received. It should be emphasized that flock owners must recognize that the testing load has to be distributed over several months instead of two or three months because it is practically impossible to employ personnel for only a few months. Also all breeding flocks should be tested as soon as the birds are five months of age, if the laboratory is in a position to do so. The following summary gives the distribution of tests by months: Months NiimluT of Tests Months Number of Tests April, 1955 39,646 November, 1955 1,52,.360 May 36,890 December 136,659 June 37,405 January, 1956 149,773 July 73,307 February 82,924 August 99,204 March 52,832 September 149,671 April 4,839 October 162,657 — Total 1,178,167 Expansion in Efforts Toward Pullornm Disease Eradication: The testing data presented in this bulletin clearly reveal that pullorum disease is amenable to eradication from our poultry flocks. Commencing July 1, 1956 an experimental program for the complete eradication of the disease in Massachusetts will be under- taken. Every known focus of infection will be investigated and necessary steps will be taken to eliminate the same as quickly as possible. The general plan of the program will be built around the following recommendations which have been approved by the Massachusetts Federation of Poultry Associations. I. Handling of flocks with acute outbreaks: A. Affected chicks should be destroyed or reared for broilers. If early liquidation is not possible, then infection should be eliminated through short interval retesting. B. In adult flocks special precautionary measures should be instituted to prevent the disease from spreading within the flock or to other flocks. 1. Flocks in the acute stage of the disease should not bo sold. 2. Affected pens should be isolated if possible. 3. Medication should be given under the supervision of competent persons. 4. After the disease has subsided the flork should either be sold or tested at short intervals. C. The use of drugs in an acute outbreak should be exercised only upon recommendation by competent persons. II. Handling of infected tested breeding flocks: A. Flock owners desiring official recognition are compelled to eradicate the disease from their flocks. 11 B. Infected breeding flocks whose owners do not wish to receive official recognition should be subjected to a planned eradication program. III. Specific sanitary and control measures: A. Upon identification of infection, effective plans should be applied re- garding movement and sale of stock. 1. Infected semimature and mature flocks when sold should be slaughtered. 2. Reactors should be removed and sold for slaughter as soon as possible. 3. Immediately upon detection of infection in breeder and commer- cial hatcheries, eff"ective plans should be instituted to prevent the further spread of the disease. B. Sanitary conditions consistent with a sound eradication program should be maintained on all contaminated premises. C. Only flocks that meet the qualifications of the pullorum-passed and pullorum-clean grades should be permitted to produce hatching eggs. D. Purchase of pullorum-clean stock should be more widely advocated. E. All birds entered in shows and contests should be free of pullorum disease as determined by the agglutination test. F. Regulatory aid should be requested for flock owners refusing to co- operate on a voluntary basis. G. The testing of infected flocks should be done on a free basis by an official state agent. H. An extensive educational program should be a vital part of the eradica- tion campaign. rol Series Bulletin No. 169 July 1956 Inspection of Commercial FeedstuflFs BY Feed Control Service Staff Massachusetts Agricultural Experiment Station • ersity of Massachusetts Amherst, Mass. INSPECTION OF COMMERCIAL FEEDSTUFFS By Feed Control Service Staff John W. Kuzmeskl, Research Professor, Official Chemist Albert F. Spelman, A.t.iociate Research Professor C. Tyson Smith, Associate Research Professor, Microscopist Bertram Gersten, Assistant Research Professor Jeannette G. Davis, Research Instructor Richard Graves, Research Instructor Oavld F. Owen, Jr., Research Instructor Joseph Conklln, Inspector Edward F. Vlach, Technical Assistant Cora B. Grover, Principal Clerk INTRODUCTION During the past year there has been considerable discussion among feed manufacturers and control officials about labeling, particularly the labeling of feeds containing drugs. It seems desirable to state the position of the Massa- chusetts Control Service on this subject. The Massachusetts Feed Law, Section 225, provides that: "Each package, lot or parcel of commercial feeding stuff sold or offered, exposed or kept for sale or distributed shall have affixed thereto in a conspicuous place, as provided in the following section, a tag or label containing a legible and plainly printed statement in the English language clearly and truly certifying: (a) The weight of the contents of the package, lot or parcel (b) The name, brand or trade mark (c) The name and principal address of the manufacturer or person responsible for placing the commodity on the market (d) The minimum per cent of crude protein (e) The minimum per cent of crude fat (/) The maximum per cent of crude fiber (g) The specific name of each ingredient used in its manufacture. "If such a tag or label contains any claim of one or more dietary factors other than those herein specified, such tag or label shall bear a legible and plainly printed statement in the English language guaranteeing such claim." Section 230 further provides that: "The director or his authorized deputy may refuse to register any commercial feeding stuff under a name, brand, or trade- mark which, in his opinion, would be misleading or deceptive, or which would tend to mislead or deceive as to the materials of which the feeding stuff is composed." These requirements allow considerable latitude in the form of labeling that may be used. The Control Service does not insist upon one rigidly set pattern. There are a number of ways of labeling feeds to give the farmer the information required by law and, in the case of feeds containing drugs, the additional informa- tion needed for the proper and safe use of these feeds. The Control Service will furnish upon request copies of specimen labels recommended for various types of feed. However, it is not mandatory for feeds sold in Massachusetts to have labels that are exact copies of those recommended. Labels that differ in some respects but which also meet the requirements of the Massachu.setts Feed Law will be accepted.

The plant food guarantee or the grade of each fertilizer is made a part of the trade name under the heading "Name of Manufacturer and Brand" and is expressed as nitrogen, available phosphoric acid, and water soluble potash in that order. Mixtures Substantially Complying with the Guarantee. In addition to those fertilizers that meet their guarantees in every respect, this table includes also a list of those mixtures that have one or more elements below the guaranteed per- centage but have a shortage of less than SI per ton. This table, in addition to the data mentioned in the next paragraph, contains only results of analytical tests pertaining to the average amoiuit of water insoluble nitrogen present in some brands, since this information is of value to tobacco growers and other users of fertilizers containing a high percentage of this form of nitrogen. Potash Forms. Tests for chlorine are made only on tobacco mixtures and on those fertilizers that carry a guarantee of potash in forms other than muriate. When the amount of chlorine present in any brand exceeds the tolerance allowed for that brand, this fact is indicated by a footnote.

Kinds of Seed Not Listed: Fees for testing and for other seed determinations not listed will be based on the time consumed in making the test or for other service requested. Free Tests: During any one calendar year, the Seed Testing Laboratory will allow two free tests of vegetable or tobacco seed to any person residing or doing business in the Commonwealth. The minimum weights of samples to be submitted for analysis are: a. Two ounces of grass seed, white or alsike clover, or seeds not larger than these. b. Five ounces of red or crimson clover, alfalfa, ryegrasses, millet, rape, or seeds of similar size. c. One pound of cereal, vetches, or seeds of similar or larger size. The minimum number of seeds of any kind to be submitted for a germination test is 400. Samples should be taken so as to represent correctly the lot sampled, each placed in a strong container, the parcel of samples securely wrapped and addressed to Seed Laboratory, Agricultural Experiment Station, Amtierst, Mass. Checks or Money Orders must be made payable to the University of Massachu- setts and sent to the Seed Laboratory, 'n no case will the final report for work done be rendered until all fees are paid. CONTROL SERIES iNO. 171 Massachusetts Vegetable Seed Standards The amended seed law requires in Section 261 I that the Director of the Mass- achusetts Agricultural Experiment Station shall, after reasonable notice and hearing and with the approval of the Commissioner of Agriculture, adopt vege- table seed germination standards, prescribe rules and regulations, and in like manner modify or amend rules and regulations governing the methods of sam- pling, inspecting, analyzing, testing, and examining agricultural, vegetable and flower seeds and the tolerances to be followed in administration. A hearing for the above stated purpose was held in Horticultural Hall, Wor- cester, Massachusetts, at 3 P. M., October 18, 1946. The following set of stand- ards was so approved and adopted: GERMINATION KIND OF SEED STANDARD % Artichoke {Cynara Scolymus).... 60 Asparagus 70* Bean, Lima 70 Bean, Scarlet Runner 75 Bean, Other Varieties 75 Beet ._ 65 Broccoli „ 75 Brussels Sprouts 70 Cabbage 75 Cabbage, Chinese — 75 Carrot 55 Cauliflower 75 Celeriac 55 Celery 55 Chard, Swiss 65 Chicory...- 65 Citron 65 Collard 80 Corn, Sweet 75 Cress, Garden or Curled 40 Cress, Water 35 Cucumber 80 Dandelion 45 Egg Plant.__ 60 Endive 70 Fetticus (Corn Salad)._ 70 GERMINATION KIND OF SEED STANDARD % Kale 75 Kohlrabi 75 Leek._ 60 Lettuce 80 Muskmelon 75 Mustard 75 Okra.„ 50* Onion 70 Parsley 60 Parsnip 60 Peas 80 Pepper 55 Pumpkin 75 Radish 75 Rhubarb 60 Rutabaga 75 Salsify 75 Sorrel 60 Soybean 75 Spinach, Common 60 Spinach, New Zealand 40 Squash 75 Tomato 75 Tomato, Husk 50 Turnip 80 Watermelon 70 ♦Including Hard Seeds.

Each separate container of Vegetable Seeds must be labeled to indicate plainly the kind of seed and variety and the name and address of the person who labeled such seed or who sells, offers, or exposes it for sale. For seeds that germinate less than the Massachusetts Standard, the label must also indicate the percentage of germination exclusive of hard seeds, percentage of hard seeds if present, calendar month and year the test was completed, and the words "Below Standard" in not less than 8-point type. Date of test shall not be more than nine months old, exclusive of the month in which the test was completed. Seed that has a false or misleading label may not be sold or offered for sale. Six hundred and sixteen samples of vegetable seeds were received and tested in the laboratory; however. Table 3 includes only those samples that were found to be mislabeled with regard to requirements of the law. The wholesaler's name, in all instances, and the germination for those samples of seed found below standard in germination are in boldface type. In samples for which the found germination is not in boldface, the germination is above standard but below germination stated. Table 3 Wholesale Distributor, Variety of Seed Lab.

Tests were run on Radish and Cucumbers from a col- lection made by the State Seed Inspectors. These samples were taken from 67 retail establishments and represent the ofi"erings of 28 wholesale seedsmen in the State. Seventy-three lots of Radish and 102 lots of Cucumbers were sampled throughout the Commonwealth by the State Seed Inspectors. All were given laboratory ger- mination tests, but only 69 Radish and 51 Cucumber lots were field-tested. Four radishes were duplicated lots, and only the following six varieties of Cucumbers were field-tested: Marketer, Improved Long Green, Straight Eight, Niagara, White Spine, and Wis. SMR 12. The radish were planted June 8. Each lot was a ten-foot row, with the rows three feet apart. All lots were duplicated at random in the field, and for each variety in the trials an authentic check sample was also duplicated at random in the field. The cucumbers were planted June 11 in rows six-feet apart with the plants two- feet apart in the row. Again all lots were duplicated at random with authentic check samples for each variety. No lots of cucumbers were found to disagree with the variety name as stated on the label or packet; however, once again the desirability of the different lots of the same variety names was quite evident. However, since it is not the function or policy of the Seed Laboratory to place ratings on the field tests, no report is made on this factor. Below listed are the lots of radish seed which were found not to conform to the name as stated on the packages. Table 4 Wholesale Distributor, Variety of Seed and Lab.

This makes the twenty-first year sueh field studies have been made to determine the quality of flower seed offered for sale in various retail outlets and to flower growers throughout the State. Seed of 375 lots, representing 57 genera packeted by 25 wholesalers or distributors, were obtained from 72 retailers or grower sources by the State Seed Inspectors. All samples, except two of Stalice, were given germina- tion tests in the laboratory, and all lots, except 23, were given trueness-to-type tests in the field. Of the 23 lots not tested in the field 6 were biennials, 1 Lathyrus, 2 Ipomea, 1 Helianthus, 11 Delphinium and 2 Lupinus.

Seeds were sown in 10-foot sections in the row and in all instances, one packet of seed was sufficient to plant the desired sedtion. Germination tests were made in the laboratory for all samples of seed except two lots of Statice. The results of the germination tests are listed in Table 5 for samples found unsatisfactory in the field. The weather during the field trials was good. No severe storms occurred during the critical germination period which allowed for optimum conditions for germina- tion, and the cool summer provided ideal growing weather for most of the flowers. The labelling found on the flower seed packets sold throughout the State was excel- lent. Several mixtures were found to be poor but were better in general than those (if other years. It is not the policy of the laboratory to make a rating on any of the fii-Id test work, but rather to check on the labelling as stated on the packet in com- parison with the actual field performance. The following table Hsts those samples that were found in the field test and that differed in performance from that stated on the seed packet. * Waldo C.

Snoeyenbos Department of Veterinary Science INTRODUCTION In the 1956-57 testing season 339 flocks were tested, which is significantly less aan the number ^353) tested in 1955-56. The number of samples tested (1,178,338) ^as essentially the same as in the previous season, but the percentage (0.01) of ositive tests was less than that (0.08) of the previous season. Pullorura reactors rere detected in four flocks, one of which was negative the previous year. It is en- 'ouraging to note that fewer infected flocks were detected and that of the total birds '■JSted 95.18 percent were found in 100-percent tested nonreacting flocks. The laboratory appreciates the fine cooperation it has received from the Massa- :husetts poultry industry in striving to eradicate pullorum disease from its flocks. t is hoped that this concerted effort may become more effective in the years ahead 0 eliminate completely this disease from Massachusetts flocks. We also wish to express our appreciation for the splendid cooperation received rom the Extension Service, Massachusetts Department of Agriculture, and other igencies.

No reactors were detected in eight counties. Also, the Barred Plymouth Rocks and White Leghorns tested revealed no reactors. Ply- mouth, Bristol, Esse.x, and Middlesex Counties led in the number of samples tested. The following breeds were tested: Australorp, Bantam, Barred Plymouth Rock, Columbian, Cornish, Crosses, Delaware, New Hampshire, Rhode Island Red, White American, White Leghorn. White Plymouth Rock, White Wyandotte. The White Plymouth Rock, Rhode Island Red, Barred Plymouth Rock, New Hampshire, and White Leghorn were the predominating breeds tested. Of the total samples tested, 35.19 percent were taken from White Plymouth Rock, 18. H6 percent from Rhode Island Red, 17.60 percent from Barred Plymouth Rock, 12.33 percent from the New Hampshire, and the remainder from other breeds. Of the 1,043,942 samples collected from females, 26,867 were from hens and 1,017,075 from pullets, with 0.004 and 0.013 percent reactors, respectively. Among the 100,890 samples collected from males, 0.004 percent were positive. ANNUAL TESTING OF FLOCKS Table 2 lists the result from flocks tested (1) for the first time, (2) intermittently, (3) for two consecutive years, and (4) for three or more consecutive years. In the group tested for the first time, 61 reactors were detected in one flock that was subjected to an intensive retesting program, which was successful in elim- inating the infection from the flock. More flocks and birds were tested in this group than during the previous season. The average percentage of reactors (0.08) was also considerably less. The average number of birds to a flock in this group was 2,405. In the intermittent group no reactors were detected. The average number of birds to a flock was 2,865. In this group fewer flocks and birds were tested than in the other groups. In the two-year group the 23 reactors were identified in one flock. The infec- tion in this flock was eliminated through retesting. The average number of birds to a flock was 2,736. Table 2.

Each separate container of Vegetable Seeds must he labeled to indicate plainly the kind of seed and variety and the name and address of the person who labeled such seed or who sells, oilers, or exposes it for sale. For seeds that germinate less than the Massachusetts Standard, the label must also indicate the percentage of germination exclusive of hard seeds, percentage of hard seeds if present, calendar month and year the test was completed, and the words "Below Standard" in not less than 8-point type. Date of test shall not be more than nine months old, exclusive of the month in which the test was completed. Seed that has a false or misleading label may not be sold or offered for sale. 1 i\e hundred and sixt\ -une samples of vegetable seeds were received and tested in the laboratory; however, Table 3 includes only those samples than were found to be mislabeled with regard to requirements of the law. The wholesaler's name, in all instances, and the germination for those samples of seed found below standard in germination are in boldface type. In sample* for which the found germination is not in boldface, the germination is above standard but below germination stated. Table 3 Germination Wholesale Distributor.

SEED INSPECTION 31 FIELD TESTS OF VEGETABLE SEEDS TYPE AND VAUIETY STUDIES— SECTION 261 II Conducted by ihe Seed Laboratory* Nineteen-hundred fifty seven marks the 22nd year field trials have been conducted by the Seed Laboratory to determine the trueness-to-type of certain kinds of vege- tal)le seed offered for sale in the State. Tests were run on Beans, Carrots, and Radishes from a collection made by the State Seed Inspectors. These samples were taken from 64 retail establishments and represent the offerings of 28 wholesale seedsmen in the State. Fifty-one lots of green and wax beans, seventy-seven lots of carrots, and forty-six lots of radish were field tested from samples taken throughout the Commonwealth by the State Seed Inspectors. All were given laboratory germination tests prior to the field testing. The beans were planted May 22nd. Each lot was a twenty-five foot row, with the rows three feet apart. All lots were duplicated at random in the field, and for each variety planted in the trials an authentic check sample was also duplicated at random in the field. Only those varieties of beans were planted where the seed eharacteristics were difficult to differentiate from observations of the seed alone. No lots of beans were found to disagree with the variety name as stated on the label or packet; however, the desirability of the difi"erent lots of the same variety was quite evident; note the following table. It is not, however, the function or policy of the Seed Laboratory to place ratings on the field tests. In an attempt to further emphasize the statement that difl"crent lots of the same variety are not all of the same value to a grower, a study was made on the yields of certain bean varieties in our field trials. This study was set up in the following manner: The first twenty-five plants in every row were counted out and marked. Prior to this each row had been thinned so that the first twenty-five plants made up approximately the same distance in the row. Every variety had its guard rows and its o^vn authentic sample, plus a duplicated set of plantings. Five harvestings were made on each variety of bean and its duplicate when it was considered the beans were marketable. All lots of the same variety were picked on the same day. Every- thing was done to make it equal for all lots. Below is a table listing the results found on yield studies of the four varieties selected for study. Table 4 Tender green Sample Total wt.

The purpose of these bean sliiilie.s was lo delermiiie first if there was a sigjiificant •'• difference between lots of the same variety; and secondiy, if there was a difference, j bow the difference could be of great importance to a commercial grower. ; It can be seen from the above tables that our (irst reason for the bean studies does show that there is a significant difference between lots of the same variety. This range of difference runs to as high as 36% as was the case with Tendergreen. Se- condly, it seems obvious that this 36% should be of great interest to a commercial grower. Putting it more plainly, it can be expected to commonly produce 85 bushels of beans to an acre, but if the above poor strain was grown and produced 36' r less per acre, then the resultant 55 bushels per acre is self explanatory. It certainly would seem that only the best seed should be planted from the most r(^liable seedsmen. On Mav 23rd forty-six lots of radish were planted in 12 foot ro\vs with the rows 3 feet apart. All samples were duplicated at random in the field with authentic check asmples for all varieties grown. SEED INSPECTION 33 tor the first tinir in the many years that radishes have been field tested there were no violations. All packets and labels bore the correct name as found from the field performance. Most varieties performed very well. All lots of ("hcrry Bel'e including the authentic check, however, were not too satisfactory. Seventy-seven lots of carrots were also planted on May 2.3rd. Each lot was planted in rows fifteen feet long and three feet apart. Each lot was duplicated at random in the field, and for each variety an authentic check sample was also duplicated at random in the carrot plantings. Due to a heavy soil packing rainstorm which caused only fair germination the carrots were replanted on June 19th. The records and observations that could not be made from the first planting due to a poor stand of plants were later obtained from the second planting. Although the carrots as a whole were not as desirable as one would hope for there was only one definite violation as to type- No. C-331 Chantenay Red Cored whole- saled by Woodruff's Triple "T" and retailed by Rome Bros., Hardware Co., Rockland, Mass., was not at all a Chantenay Red Cored carrot, but rather more of the Dan- vers type. 34 CONTROL SERIES NO. 175 STUDIES OF FLOWER SEEDS Section 261 H Conducted by the Seed Laboratory* 1957 marks the twenty-second year that field studies have been made by the Seed Laboratory to determine the quality of flower seed offered for sale in various retail outlets and to flower growers throughout the State. Seed of 383 lots, representing 6 genera packeted by 28 wholesalers or distributors, were obtained from 72 retailers or grower sources by the State Seed Inspectors. All samples were given germination tests in the laboratory. Six samples received too late were not grown in the field trials and one sample not grown in the field but laboratory tested was a biennial. This year marks the first major change in the flower field studies. Only six genera were tested in the field instead of the 50 to 60 as has been done in the past. It is felt that by so doing a complete and thorough inspection can be made on the six genera tested. The number of lots in the trials were relatively the same. The six genera selected for field study were Alyssum, Aster, Calendula, Marigold, Petunia, and Zinnia. All thi- flowers were planted May 23rd and 24th. Seeds were sown in 10-foot sections in the row and rows were three feet apart. In all cases one packet of seed was sufficient to plant the desired section. All lots were given germination tests in the laboratory and the laboratory tests are listed for those lots found unsatisfac- tory in the field. A heavy rain immediately following the planting caused severe packing of the soil and in some instances with the smaller seeded types a poor stand of plants resulted. The weather throughout the remainder of the growing season was fine. The following tahlf lists tiiose samples that were found to differ in the field from that stated on the seed packet. * Waldo C.

V iS^ During the 1957-58 testing season, a total of 324 chicken, turkey, and pheasant flocks was tested. Among 1,040,027 samples tested, 0.0009 per- cent was positive, which is a definite decrease over the percentage (0.01) positive in the previous season. Only one infected breeding flock was detected which constituted a "break." At the close of the season all flocks were classified as negative. This is the first season in the testing history that 100 percent of all birds tested are in nonreacting flocks.

Van Roekel, Miriam K. Clarke, C. F. Smyser, and G. H. Snoeyenbos Department of Veterinary Scienee University of Massachusetts INTRODUCTION In the 1957-58 testing season 324 flocks were tested, which is slightly less than the number tested in 1956-57. Likewise, fewer samples (1,040,027) were tested than in the previous season. However, the percentage (0.0009) of positive tests was significantly less than that (0.01) of the previous season. Pullorum reactors were detected in only one flock which was classified as negative in 1956-57. At the close of the season all tested breeding flocks were classified as negative. Of the total birds tested 98.81 percent were found in 100 percent tested nonreacting flocks. The laboratory appreciates the fine cooperation it has received from the Massa- chusetts poultry industry in striving to eradicate pullorum disease from its flocks. It is hoped that this concerted effort may become more effective in the years ahead to eliminate completely this disease from Massachusetts flocks. We also wish to express our appreciation for the continuous cooperation re- ceived from the Cooperative Extension Service at the University of Massachusetts, Massachusetts Department of Agriculture and other agencies.

Only Worcester County revealed reactors which were confined to one Rhode Island Red breeding flock that was aegative the previous season. Plymouth, Essex, Middlesex, and Worcester Coun- ties led in the number of samples tested. The following breeds were tested: Australorp, Bantam, Barred Plymouth Rock, Columbian, Cornish, Crosses, Delaware, New Hampshire, Rhode Island Red, White American, White Leghorn, White Plymouth Rock, White Wyandotte. Tho White Plymouth Rock, Barred Plymouth Rock, Rhode Island Red, New Hampshire, and White Leghorn were the predominating breeds tested. Of the :otal samples tested, 35.05 percent were taken from White Plymouth Rock, 16.42 jercent from Barred Plymouth Rock, 16.25 percent from Rhode Island Red, 13.89 lercent from the New Hampshire, and the remainder from other breeds. Of the 925,518 samples collected from females 41,717 were from hens and 383,801 from pullets, with 0.011 and 0.0005 percent reactors respectively. Among he 91,595 samples collected from males none were positive. ANNUAL TESTING OF FLOCKS Table 2 lists the results from flocks tested (1) for the first time, (2) intermit- ently, (3) for two consecutive years, and (4) for three or more consecutive years. In the group tested for the first time 46 flocks were tested which revealed no eactors. It is of interest to note that while the number of flocks more than doubled jver that (22) of the previous season, the number of tested birds decreased from j2,912 to 37,166. The average number of birds to a flock in this group was 808. rhe increase in the number of the small fancy breed flocks tested explains the marked fteduction in average flock size. In the intermittent and two-year groups, no reactors were detected. The iverage number of birds per flock for the intermittent and two-year groups were r ^384 and 2,958, respectively. In the group tested for three or more consecutive years, there were 184 flocks, epresenting 843,196 tests, of which 0.001 percent were positive. In comparing ■ Jiese results with those of the previous season, significant decreases are observed Table 2.

One flock was infected, but the in- fection was eliminated through retesting before the termination of the season. The average number of birds to a flock in this group was 4,537. For all four groups 269 flocks were tested, representing 1,008,750 birds and I 1,017,113 samples, of which 0.0009 percent were positive. The 260 flocks that were 100 percent tested and nonreacting contained 996,782 birds of 98.81 percent of the total birds tested. All tested breeding flocks were classified as negative at the termination of the season. During the past year 64 or 23.53 percent of the flocks tested in 1956-57 were 1 not tested. Annual testing of flocks is required by the National Poultry Improve- 1 ment Plan. However, if flock owners find it necessary to omit testing for a year or more, they should procure replacement stock from officially recognized pullorum- passed and pullorum-clean flocks. Adequate precautions should be taken against! the introduction of infection. APPEARANCE OF INFECTION IN FLOCKS PREVIOUSLY NEGATIVE Pullorum infection was detected in one breeding flock that was classified as I negative the previous season. However, in 1956-57 this flock did reveal infection] which was eliminated through retesting. It is possible that all of the infection was not eliminated which would explain the reappearance of infection in the 1957-58J testing season. On the first complete test of the flock, only two doubtful reactors! were detected (one hen and one pullet). Only the pullet which gave the stronger reaction was called to the laboratory for examination. Gross pathological and bac- teriological findings were negative. Serological results suggested pullorum infec-! tion quite strongly. The two pens (hens and pullets) were retested approximately! four weeks after the first test. Five reactors were detected among the hens, two of, which were submitted to the laboratory and S. pullorum was isolated. The birds ini the pullet pen revealed only one doubtful reactor which was not examined but re- moved from the premises. Interestingly, the pullet and hen pens were in the samej building but on two different floors. After discovery of definite infection the bal-i ance of the flock was retested and another group of pullets, in another building, revealed one reactor that yielded the organism on necropsy. The entire flock wasf subjected to two additional retests, two weeks apart, and no additional reactors; were detected. Special attention will be given to this flock during the next six months. Table 3 lists the incidence of "breaks" among Massachusetts tested flocks during the past 17 years. Flock owners and hatcherymen should observe constantly the strictest vigilance against the introduction and spread of the disease. The following measures have been eff"ective in establishing and maintaining a pullorum-free flock. L All the birds on the premises should be tested each year. 2. If infection is present, the entire flock should be retested within four to six weeks until a negative report is obtained, provided the value of the birds justifies the expenditure. 3. Every reactor, regardless of its value, should be removed from the premises and sold for slaughter immediately upon receipt of the report. 4. Oflfal from all birds dressed for market or home consumption as well as dead birds that are not fit for consumption should be burned. Table .*?.

The poultry houses, runs, and equipment should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected immediately after removal of reactors. An empty pen to each house should be provided to facilitate cleaning and disinfection during the winter months. Disinfectants approved by the United States Department of Agriculture should be used. 6. Birds removed from the premises to egg-laying contests, exhibitions, etc., should be held in quarantine and determined free of disease before they are read- mitted into the flock. 7. Purchase of stock in the form of adults, chicks, and eggs should be from known pullorum disease-free flocks. The Massachusetts Department of Agriculture, 41 Tremont Street, Boston, should be consulted regarding additions or replace- ments in the flock. 8. Eggs should not be saved for hatching until after a flock has been tested and all the infected birds removed. Early pullet testing will permit early hatching. 9. Fresh and infertile eggs from unknown or infected sources should not be fed to chickens or exposed to birds or animals, such as crows, sparrows, and skunks, that may carry or spread the infection. 10. Poultrymen should not custom-hatch for untested or infected flocks (includ- ing fowl other than chickens). 11. Owners of pullorum disease-free flocks should not permit hatching where infected eggs or stock may be found. 12. Poultrymen should not buy feed in bags that have been used or exposed to infection. (Such bags if properly disinfected will be safe for further use.) 13. Poultrymen should regard fowl other than chickens as a possible source of puUorum infection unless tested and found free from pullorum disease. 14. Poultrymen should not use equipment that has been exposed to or con- taminated with infective material unless it is properly cleaned and sterilized or disinfected. TESTING OF FOWL OTHER THAN CHICKENS During the past year 22,914 samples from fowl other than chickens, including 15,989 turkeys, 5,653 pheasants, 844 quail, 285 partridge, 76 ducks, 32 geese, 23 pigeons, 7 guinea fowl, and 5 pea fowl, were tested. No reactors were detected. NONREACTING FLOCKS CLASSIFIED BY COUNTIES This is the first season in the entire testing history that all tested flocks have been classified as nonreacting. A total of 269 nonreacting flocks, representing 1,008,750 birds, was identified in 11 counties, as listed in table 4. A total of 260 flocks was 100 percent tested, whereas 9 flocks were partially tested. The latter group constituted 11,968 birds in six counties. Partial flock testing is not recom- mended to determine the true status of a flock. It is encouraging that 98.81 percent of all birds tested are in 100 percent nonreacting flocks, and it is hoped that in the near future all flocks will be 100 percent tested. It was stated in previous sections that only one flock revealed infection which was eliminated through retesting. The laboratory appreciates the splendid co- operation received from the flock owners in the attempts to eradicate the disease. It is hoped that flock owners will continue to cooperate to the fullest extent in order that the disease may be eradicated from the Massachusetts poultry industry. Table 4.

Fewer flocks, birds, and samples ;re tested this season than in 1956-57. Only two counties (Hampshire and Middlc- x) had an increase in the number of tested birds, whereas, among the other coun- s, Bristol had the largest decrease, approximately 36,000 birds. The results for s two seasons reveal that definite progress is being made in the eradication of the jease. Tabl e5.

Flocks on thirteen diff"erent premises were either found infected or wl 10 considered suspicious of harboring the disease. In all but one instance the flocks consisted of mature chickens. The single chick case was a broiler flock which ii originated from an out-of-state hatchery. In eight of the twelve adult flocks acute outbreaks of pullorum disease, ac- companied with a high morbidity rate, a significant mortality, and a decline in egg prochiction were observed. In two adult flocks the infection was detected in ex- hibition birds when tested at the Boston Poultry Show. The remaining two adult flocks had a suspicious history of pullorum disease but did not reveal evidence of J infection when tested with the agglutination method. Table 7.

Flocks 1 to 8: Mature birds which experienced acute outbreaks identified by isolation of S. pullorum. Flocks 9 and 10: Mature birds with chronic pullorum disease identified with the tube agglutination test. Flock 11: A chick flock which experienced an acute outbreak identified by isola- tion of S. pullorum. Flocks 12 and 13: Mature birds which had a suspicious history of pullorum disease. Table 7 gives a brief summary of the findings in the thirteen flocks and the manner in which the infection was eliminated. In eight flocks the tube agglutina- tion test was used as a means to establish a clean flock. A total of 49,167 samples was tested from some of these flocks. The cooperation received from the flock owners has been most gratifving in our efforts to eliminate the known foci of in- 11 fection. Also, appreciation should be extended to the County Extension Service and the Massachusetts Department of Agriculture for the valuable assistance given in the eradication of these flock infections. Credit should also be given to the diagnostic laboratories at Waltham and Amherst for identifying these outbreaks. It should be mentioned that a total of 977 chickens was tested at the 1958 Boston Poultry Show which revealed six reactors originating from two different premises in Massachusetts. COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS Filing Applications for Testing: The laboratory is experiencing increasing diSiculty with flock owners not returning their applications for testing. At the beginning of each season, flock owners who received testing service the previous season are sent application cards for the next year's work. Applications are pro- cessed in the order that they are received from the owners. Flock owners who delay or fail to return their cards cannot expect immediate testing service. It should be emphasized that the testing load has to be distributed over several months instead of two or three months, because it is practically impossible to employ personnel for only a few months. Furthermore, all breeding flocks should be tested as soon as the birds are five months of age, provided the laboratory is in a position to do so. Increased Efforts Toward Pulloruiu Disease Eradication: The testing results that have been accumulated over the years and supported by the findings in the diagnostic laboratories definitely reveal that pullorum disease can be eradi- cated from our breeding flocks. However, our eff'orts should be projected beyond the breeding flocks which will include the eradication of all foci of infection wherever they may be found. Appropriate and eff"ective measures for eradication should be devised and adopted. The following recommendations, which have been approved by the Massachusetts Federation of Poultry Associations, may serve as a basis for a general eradication program. I. Handling of flocks with acute outbreaks: A. Afiected chicks should be destroyed or reared for broilers. If early liquidation is not possible, then infection should be eliminated through short interval retesting. B. In adult flocks special precautionary measures should be instituted to prevent the disease from spreading within the flock or to other flocks. 1. Flocks in the acute stage of the disease should not be sold. 2. AS"ected pens should be isolated if possible. 3. Medication should be given under the supervision of competent | persons. 4. A{ter the disease has subsided the flock should either be sold or tested at short intervals. C. The use of drugs in an acute outbreak should be exercised only upon recommendation by competent persons. II. Handling of infected tested breeding flocks: A. Flock owners desiring official recognition are compelled to eradicate the disease from their flocks. 12 B. Infected breeding flocks whose owners do not wish to receive official recognition should be subjected to a planned eradication program. III. Specific sanitary and control measures: A. Upon identification of infection, effective plans should be applied re- garding movement and sale of stock. 1. Infected semi-mature and mature flocks when sold should be slaughtered. 2. Reactors should be removed and sold for slaughter as soon as possible. 3. Immediately upon detection of infection in breeder and commer- cial hatcheries, efl"ective plans should be instituted to prevent the further spread of the disease. B. Sanitary conditions consistent with a sound eradication program should be maintained on all contaminated premises. C. Only flocks that meet the qualifications of the puUorum-passed and pullorum-clean grades should be permitted to produce hatching eggs. D. The purchase of pullorum-clean stock should be more widely advo- cated. E. All birds entered in shows and contests should be free of pullorum disease as determined by the agglutination test. F. Regulatory aid should be requested for flock owners refusing to co- operate on a voluntary basis. G. The testing of infected flocks should be done on a free basis by an official state agent. H. An extensive educational program should be a vital part of the eradica- tion campaign. Massachusetts Law Requires Only PuUorum-Passed and Pulloruin- Clean Stoek May Be Sold: In 1957 a pullorum disease law was enacted in Massa- chusetts that will expedite the eradication of the disease within the State. The Law reads as follows: "Chapter 129 of the General Laws is hereby amended by inserting after section 26A the following section: — Section 26B. No person shall buy, sell or transport within or import into the commonwealth hatching eggs, baby chicks or live poultry, except poultry intended for immediate slaughter or for exhibition subject to permit granted by the state department of agriculture, unless such hatching eggs are the produce of flocks which meet, and such baby chicks or live poultry meet or are the first generation progeny of flocks which meet, the minimum requirements for 'pub- lorum passed' or 'pullorum clean' grades of poultry, as established by the com- missionor of agriculture, or the equivalent thereof. Whoever, himself or by his 13 servant or agent, violates any provision of this section shall be punished for the first offence by a fine of not more than one hundred dollars, and for a subsequent offence by a fine of not less than fifty nor more than two hundred dollars." This law was designed to aid every poultryman, large and small, to raise poultry free of pullorum infection, which has been a costly disease through the years. The ultimate goal is to attain complete eradication of the disease so that our poultrymen will not have to spend large sums of money each year to test their flocks. Several states have adopted laws to control the spread of pullorum disease and at the 1958 National Plans Conference the delegates voted to request the Federal government to draw up minimum regulations to control the movement of poultry in interstate commerce. 14 ; 9l Series Bulletin No. 177 September 1958 nspection of Commercial Feedsluffs by Feed Control Service Staff Massachusetts Agricultural Experiment Station '^r Vounp Calves fountain Producls ifummie^ lood & Sons Calf Starter Citrus Pulp eied Skim Milk. .

The plant food guarantee or the grade of each fertilizer is made a part of the trade name under the heading "Name of Manufacturer and Brand" and is expressed as nitrogen, available phosphoric acid, and water soluble potash in that order. Mixtures Substantially Complying with the Guarantee. In addition to those fertilizers that meet their guarantees in every respect, this table includes also a list of those mixtures that have one or more elements below the guaranteed per- centage but have a shortage of less than $1 per ton. This table, in addition to the data mentioned in the next paragraph, contains only results of analytical tests pertaining to the average amount of water insoluble nitrogen present in some brands, since this information is of value to tobacco growers and other users of fertilizers containing a high percentage of this form of nitrogen. Potash Forms. Tests for chlorine are made only on tobacco mixtures and on those fertilizers that carry a guarantee of potash in forms other than muriate. When the amount of chlorine present in any brand exceeds the tolerance allowed for that brand, this fact is indicated by a footnote.

Each separate container of Vegetable Seeds must be labeled to indicate plainly the kind of seed and variety and the name and address of the person who labeled such seed or who sells, offers, or exposes it for sale. For seeds that germinate less than the Massachusetts Standard, the label must also indicate the percentage of germination exclusive of hard seeds, percentage of hard seeds if present, calendar month and year the test was completed, and the words "Below Standard" in not less than 8-point type. Date of test shall not be more than nine months old, exclusive of the month in which the test was completed. Seed that has a false or misleading label may not be sold or offered for sale. Fi)iir hundred and iiinety-nne samples of vegetable seeds were received and tested in the laboratory ; however, Table 3 includes only those samples that were found to be mislabeled with regard to requirements of the law. The wholesaler's name, in all instances, and the germination for those samples of seed found below standard in germination are in boldface type. In sample* for which the found germination is not in boldface, the germination is above standard but below germination stated. Table 3 Wholesale Distributor. Dealer When Other Lab.

SEED INSPECTION 31 FIELD TESTS OF VEGETABLE SEEDS TYPE AND VARIETY STUDIES— SECTION 261 II Conducted by the Seed Laboratory* Again, lor the 23r(l year, field trials were conducted by the State Seed Laboratorv to determine the trueness-to-type of certain kinds of vegetable seed offered for sale in the Commonwealth. Tests were run on sweet corn and radishes from a collection made by the State Seed Inspectors. These samples were taken by the Inspectors from 35 retail establishments, and represent the offerings of 26 wholesale seedsmen selling in the Commonwealth. Forty-nine samples of sweet corn were field-tested. These forty-nine samples represented seventeen varieties. All corn varieties were hybrids, i.e., none were open pollinated. All samples of both corn and radish were subjected to laboratory germination tests prior to field testing. The corn was planted May 27. Each sample was planted in duplicated 60-foot rows, with the seeds spread one foot apart in the rows and the rows three feet apart. Wherever possible an authentic cheek sample was included as a basis of comparison. Observations were made several times during the growing period and complete records were taken. All samples were found to be properly labeled. Observations were also made to determine the number of "inbred" plants pro- duced by the 120 kernels planted from each lot of hybrid seed. The term inbred for the purposes of this discussion is defined as "a plant uniform in gross character- istics owing to self or sib pollination for several generations." In these hybrid varieties the inbred plants stood out because of their smaller size and atypical or unmarketable ears. The remarks found in the Field Performance column in Table 4 indicate the numbers of inbreds found. This column was figured on the total of the duplicate rows, i.e., the plants produced from 120 seeds. The economic importance of inbred plants in a sample of hybrid sweet corn should be mentioned. An average acre of corn should yield 12,000 marketable ears, and if 5% of the plants are off-type to the extent that the cars are not marketable, the re- sultant loss would be 600 ears per acre. This is an example of how seed that is true- to-type, as well as of good quality otherwise, can pay off in dollars and cents. On May 28th forty-eight lots of radish were planted in 12-foot rows Avith the rows 3 feet apart. All samples were duplicated at random in the field, and authentic check samples were included for all the varieties grown. All 48 lots were found to be labeled correctly, i.e., there were no violations to be reported. *\^'a!do C.

Z 40 CONTROL SERIES NO. 179 STUDIES OF FLOWER SEEDS Section 261 H Conducted by the Seed Laboratory* 111 1958, the twenty-third year of field-testing by the Seed Laboratory, studies were ' made to determine the quality of flower seeds offered for sale to residents of Massa- chusetts through various local and mail o'der outlets. A total of 387 seed lots, representing 9 genera and various mixtures of annuals packeted by 28 wholesalers or distributors, were obtained from 97 retailers or grower sources by the State Seed Inspectors. All except the mixtures were subjected to germination tests in the Laborjtory before field-testing. Since only nine genera were included in the 1958 tests it was a relatively com- plete and thorough pielure of the quality of seed in these genera. The genera selected for field study were Ageratum, Calendula, Celosia, Centaurea cyanus, Iberis, Phlox, Poilulaca. Tagetcs and Zinnia. In addition to these nine genera which were field tested, similar field plantings were made of the annual flower seed mixtures off"ered by most of our wholesale seedsmen. All the flower seeds were planted on June 4th and 5th. Seeds were sown in lU-foot rows and the rows were spaced three feet apart. In all cases one packet of seed was planted per row. The results listed in Table 5 are lor only those samples considered worthless for sale, or those with satisfactory germination tests but found unsatis- factory in the field for other reasons. A sample was considered worthless for sale if it germinated 50 percent or less of the tentative "standard" for flower seed. The tentative "standards" for the respective genera included in the field trials are as foUow.s: Ageratum, 70%; Calendula, 70%; Celosia, 70%; Centaurea cyanus, 70%; Iberis, 70%; Phlox, 70%; Portulaca, 70%; Tagete:,, 70%; and Zinnia. 70%. On the basis of the laboratory tests, 4 percent of the total of 37.3 lots were "worthless" and 28.9 peixent were below the tentative "standards." Table 5 lists those samples that were found in the field test to diff"er iu performance from that stated on the seed packet plus those samples that germinated 50% or less than the tentative "standards" in the laboratory tests. Also included are observa- tions made on the annual flower mixture packets. *Waldo C. Lincoln, Jr., Research Instructor. Kenneth Pelton, Laboratory Assistant.

LIGATION OF This Document Approved by Bernard J. Solomon, State Purchasing Agent .J-59-926044 ESTIMATED COST PER COPY S .04 During the 1958-59 testing season, a total of 266 chicken, turkey, and pheasant flocks was tested. Among 975,312 samples tested 0.0001 per- cent was positive, which is a slight decrease over the percentage (0.0009) positive in the previous season. Among all the birds tested only one re- actor was detected in a small fancier's flock. At the close of the season all flocks were classified as negative. This is the first year that no infection was detected among the so-called commercial breeding flocks. THIRTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT OF PULLORUM DISEASE ERADICATION IN MASSACHUSETTS 1958-59 H. Van Roekel, Miriam K. Clarke, C. F. Smyser, and G. H. Snoeyenbos Department of Veterinary Science University of Massachusetts INTRODUCTION In the 1958-59 testing season 266 flocks were tested, which is considerably ess than the number (324) tested in 1957-58. The number of samples tested was ilso less than in 1957-58; however, this decrease was not as marked as it was for he flocks. It is apparent that changes which have occurred within the industry .n the past few years have reduced the testing work. It is encouraging, however, hat the percentage (0.0001) of positive tests was the lowest attained in testing his- ,ory. Only one flock was found infected which revealed one infected bird. At the close of the season all tested breeding flocks were classified as negative. Of the total birds tested 97.10 percent were found in 100 percent tested nonreacting flocks. The laboratory appreciates the fine cooperation it has received from the Massa- :husetts poultry industry in striving to eradicate pullorum disease from its flocks. [t is hoped that the poultrymen will continue their vigilance in keeping this disease DUt of their flocks. We also wish to express our appreciation for the continuous cooperation re- ceived from the Cooperative Extension Service at the University of Massachusetts, Massachusetts Department of Agriculture and other agencies.

The plant food guarantee or the grade of each fertilizer is made a part of the trade name under the heading, "Name of Manufacturer and Brand,' and is expressed as nitrogen, available phosphoric acid, and water soluble potash in that order. Mixtures Substantially Complying with the Guarantee. In addition to those fertilizers that meet their guarantees in every respect, this table includes also a list of those mixtures that have one or more elements below the guaranteed per- centage but have a shortage of less than $1 per ton. This table, in addition to the data mentioned in the next paragraph, contains only results of analytical tests pertaining to the average amount of water insoluble nitrogen present in some brands, since this information is of value to tobacco growers and other users of fertilizers containing a high percentage of this form of nitrogen. Potash Forms. Tests for chlorine are made only on tobacco mixtures and on those fertilizers that carry a guarantee of potash in forms other than muriate When the amount of chlorine present in any brand exceeds the tolerance allowed for that brand, this fact is indicated by a footnote.

This year these tests were run on beets and summer squash from samples collected by our State Seed Inspectors. These samples were taken from 41 retail establishments and represent the offerings of 35 wholesale seedsmen doing business in the Common- wealth. Twenty-nine samples of summer squash representing seven varieties, and forty-nine samples of beets representing fifteen varieties, were field tested. All samples of both summer squash and beets were subjected to laboratory germina- tion tests prior to field testing. The summer squash was planted on May 28th. Each sample of seed was planted in duplicate plots with seven hills to each plot. There were four plants in each hill and the hills were spaced six feet by eight feet. Whenever possible, an authentic control sample was included as a basis for comparison. Observations were made several times during the growing period. All of the summer squash samples were found to be properly labeled. On May 27th the forty-nine lots of beet seed were planted in 15-foot rows with the rows three feet apart. All samples were planted in duplicate plots, and when- ever possible, authentic control samples were included for comparative purposes. The following information was obtained from all plots of both test and control var- ieties of beets: (1) Uniformity of top growth; (2) leaves (broad, medium, narrow, and percent red); (3) shape of root; (4) outside skin color; (5) zones (few or many, and percentage white ); (6) interior color; (7) size of tap root; (8) size of collar; and (9) the rating of each lot from 1 to 9. Among the samples of beet seed checked in the field only one, Massachusetts Laboratory No. B-60, Detroit Dark Red, Lot No. 1-96, wholesaled by F. H. Wood- ruff & Sons, Inc., and retailed by Skibiski Farm Supply Co. of South Deerfield, was considered to be improperly labeled (27% of the plants were found to be off-type). This sample appeared to be a mixture, since 24% of the plants had leaves that were green, broad, and tall. The root was block-shaped, medium in color and show^'d a heavy distinct zoning. Although the other beet seed samples tested were considered properly labeled, they did not all give equal field performance. It cannot be emphasized too often and too strongly that high quality seed will more than pay for itself in field per- formance in the form of increased yields and greater uniformity. SEED INSPECTION 25 STUDIES OF FLOWER SEEDS Section 261 G The year 1959 makes the twenty-fourth year of field testinj; by the Seed Labora- tory: Field testing is the only sure way to determine the quality of flower seed offered for sale to residents of Massachusetts through various local and mail-order outlets. A total of 304 seed lots, representing seven genera and various mixtures of annuals ]>acketed by 23 wholesalers or distributors, were obtained from 75 retailers or grower sources by the State Seed Inspectors. All except the mixtures were subjected to gi-rmination tests in the Laboratory before field testing. The seven genera included in the 1959 tests gave a complete and thorough picture of the quality of seed within these genera. The genera and number of ench field tested were 30 Antirrhinum. 35 Dianthus, 16 Gaillardin, 136 Tageles, 36 Tropaeolum, 24 Salvia, and 30 Verbena. In addition to these seven genera which were field tested, similar plantings were made of seven annual flower seed mixtures offered by some of our wholesale seedsmen. All the flower seeds were planted on May 26th and 27th. Seeds were sown in 10-foot rows and the rows were three feet apart. In all cases one packet of seed was sufficient to plant one row. The results listed in Table 4 include only those samples considered "worthless for sale", or those with satisfactory laboratory tests but found unsatisfactory in the field for other reasons. A sample was considered "worthless for sale" if it germinated 50 per cent or less than the tentative germina- tion "standard" for flower seed. The tentative "standards" for the respective genera included in the field trials are as follows: Antirrhinum 55%; Dianthus 70% » Gaillardia 45%; Tagetes 65%; Tropaeolum 60%; Salvia 50% and Verbena 40%. On the basis of the laboratory tests, 0.6% of the total of 296 lots were "worthless for sale" and 12.8% were below the tentative "standards". This is an improve- ment over the 1958 seed, when 4% of the total of 373 lots were "worthless for sale" and 28.9% were below the tentative "standards." The following table gives a breakdown of the laboratory germination tests of the seven eenera tested.

Also included are obser- vations made on the annual flower mixture packets. The observations on the annual flower mixture packets should not be con- strued to mean unsatisfactory in anv respect, but should be taken merely as ob- servations on findings. 26 CONTROL SERIES NO. 183 Table 4 Field Test Performances of Flower Seed Lots Tested and Found Unsatisfactory in some Respeets, Amherst, Mass., 1959 Labora- Wholesale Distributor, Dealer When tory Lab.
