This has to do \\dth the placing of an identify- ing mark on certain small legume seeds whicli are brought into this country from other parts of the world. This act applies specifically to the seeds of red clover and alfalfa. A process is used which colors a part of the seeds either red, purple or green us the case may be so that all imported seeds of these tAvo species can be recognized witli a little care even by a novice. Alfalfa and red clover seeds which are brought in from (Canada are treated with a dye so that approximately one seed in every hundred shows an artificial violet color. A little care is needed here to distinguish this coloring, espe- cially in the case of red clover which has varying amounts of (lark ])uri)le-colored seeds mixed with lighter greens and yellows as it is produced naturally. If interested one could first learn to distinguish this color in red clover most easily by means of a hand lens. Seeds of either of these species which come from foreign countries oLJier than Canada, the origin of which is known, and whicli have not been definitely determined to be unadapted to general use in the United States are colored api)roximately one seed in every hundred green. When the origin of the seed is unknown, or when it comes from countries whose product is not adapted to general farm use, in the United States, the color used is red, and approximately one seed in every ten is colored. The red is, of course, very conspicuous both because it is dissimilar to any color found in either of these seeds nat- urally and also because there are ten times as many colored seeds as with the other colorings. 2 N. H. EXPERIMENT STATION. The new law llieii does specifically two things: (1) it labels all seeds of alfalfa and red clover which come from foreign countries whether of desirable origin or otherwise ; and (2) all seeds of these two species imported from coun- tries whose seeds have been formally determined by the Secretary of Agriculture to be unadapted to general use in the United States carry a warning color of red on sufficient numbers of seeds to be very conspicuous. This regulation should prove of considerable value to the farmers of our country. It protects the grower of alfalfa and red clover seed from having his product indiscriminately mixed with im])orted seed on the market. The buyer's interests are protected against adulteration, if lie chooses to buy native seed ; and particularly against certain undesirable sources in southern Europe or elsewhere from which seed ill-suited to our environment may be obtained. Many samples of seeds collected this year show the color which denotes that they are imported, and thus this law is being effectively administered. However, presumably undesirable seeds, i.e., those branded with red, have not been found in any of the samples. The total inimber of seed samples tested in the laboratory this year is five hundred and fourteen. Besides about sixty samples sent in by individuals for private tests, twenty so- called "referee samples" sent out by the American Asso- ciation of Official Seed Analysts for purposes of comparing the work of the different state laboratories of the United States and checking them up on methods and equipment used a small number of retests, etc, there are three hun- dred and ninety-eight official samples reported in this bulle- tin. These official samples are collected by the Commis- sioner of Agriculture and sent to the seed testing laboratory accompanied by such guarantees of purity, germination, etc., as may be found with them at the place where they are offered for sale. The state seed law requires that this work be done and designates certain qualities in RESULTS OF SEED TESTS, 1927. 3 respect to which the seed must be guaranteed at place of sale. The work of the seed testing laboratory in respect to these seeds is to subject them to tests in order to see if they prove as good as their guarantees indicate. In reporting the findings this year the usual variations between our results and the guarantees have been allowed. These varia- tions are fully explained in the bulletin for last year and will not be repeated here. Practically all tests on seed were completed and reports on special blanks mailed to their respective dealers by the first of July. A very few were finished and reported in July. A summary table is appended at the end showing that a large proportion of the seeds collected this year is entirely satisfactory. Only 7.5 per cent of the samples were less than satisfactory in purity, but 14.8 per cent failed to sat- isfy our requirements in germination. Some of these un- satisfactory results were obtained on seed from dealers who seldom violate the requirements. Probably none were intentional. Results strongly emphasize the importance of eternal vigilance in handling seed. N. H. EXPERIMENT STATION.
