Bulletin 434 August, 1956 NEW HAMPSHIRE AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION Department of Agionomy Results of Seed Tests for 1956 Made for the STATE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE by BESSIE G. SANBORN THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE DURHAM, N. H. RESULTS OF SEED TESTS Made July 1, 1955, to June 30, 1956 This report contains the resuks of the seed inspection work for the State Department of Agricukure of 643 official samples collected through- out the state during the period from July 1, 1955, to June 30, 1956, by Mr. George H. Laramie, Control Supervisor, and Mr. Harold Ayer, Assistant Control Supervisor. In addition to these official samples, 1130 private samples were analyzed, making a total of 1773 samples inspected. Wholesalers are listed in alphabetical order except when samples are presumed to have been carried over, in which case they are listed alpha- betically by dealers. The New Hampshire seed law requires that both agri- cultmal and vegetable seeds must be labeled with the calendar month and year when last tested for germination, and requires that this germination test shall have been completed Avithin nine months of being offered for sale. In the following tables, if the date of test was within the prescribed nine months, the sample is marked satisfactory, "S" in this respect; if no date was given, the word "None" appears indicating a violation; if the date was a violation of the law because the test was not made within nine months, the date given on the tag or label appears in that column. The first part of the report deals with 170 samples of agricultural seed tested for purity, germination and noxious weed content. There is a toler- ance or allowable variation from the guarantee for both purity and ger- mination, in accordance uath the Rules for Seed Testing adopted by the Association of official Seed Analysts. If a sample when tested for purity falls within the allowable variation, it is marked "S" (satisfactory); if below the allowable variation, and therefore a violation, the actual figure found for purity is given. The same is true for germination in the case of agri- cultural seeds. The second part of the report applies to 473 samples of vegetable seeds which were tested for germination only. The New Hampshire seed law requires that unless each packet or other container is plainly marked "Below Standard" together with the percentage of germination, vegetable seeds must test up to the prescribed standard for that kind of seed, and there is no tolerance from the adopted sandards. In the column headed "Found" if the same was up to standard, an "S" (satisfactory) appears. The exception to this is in the case of a given sample being marked with a guarantee, which is not required if vegetable seed is up to standard; then, if the seed is found to be below the regular tolerance from that guaranteed figure, the figure found upon test followed by "f" is listed as "mislabeled" even though it might in some cases be up to standard. The Ne^v Hampshire seed law and the rules and regulations there- under, including the germination standards for vegetable seed, follow: 3 STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE CHAPTER 224, REVISED LAWS (As inserted by Chapter 54 Laws of 1943) AN ACT To Regulate the Labeling, Sale and Offering or Exposing for Sale, of Agricultural and Vegetable Seeds. Agricultural and Vegetable Seeds 1. Definitions. Terms used in this chapter shall be construed as follows: I. The term "agricultural seeds" shall include the seeds of grass, for- age, cereal and fiber crops and any other kinds of seeds commonly recog- nized within this state as agricultural or field seeds, and mixtures of such seeds. II. The term "vegetable seeds" shall include the seeds of those crops which are grown in gardens or on truck farms and are generally known and sold under the name of vegetable seeds in this state. III. The term "weed seeds" shall include the seeds of all plants gen- erally recognized as weeds within this state, and shall include noxious weed seeds. IV. Noxious weed seeds shall be divided into two classes, "primary noxious weed seeds" and "secondary noxious weed seeds" as herein defined; provided, that the commissioner of agriculture may add to or subtract from the list of seeds included under either definition whenever he finds that such additions or subtractions are within the respective definitions. V. "Primary noxious weed seeds" shall include the seeds of perennial weeds such as those that reproduce and spread by underground roots or stems as well as by seed and which, when established, are highly destructive and difficult to control in this state by ordinary good cultural practice. Primary noxious weed seeds in this state are the seeds of: Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense), field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis), and quackgrass (Agropyron repens). VI. "Secondary noxious weed seeds" shall include the seeds of such weeds as are very objectionable in field, lawns, or gardens of this state, but can be controlled by good cultural practices. The secondary noxious weed seeds in this state are the seeds of: dodder (Cuscuta spp.) and crab grass (Digitaria sanguinalis). VII. The term "labeling" includes all labels, and other written, printed, or graphic representations, in any form whatsoever, accompanying and pertaining to any seed whether in bulk or in containers, and includes invoices. VIII. The term "advertisement" means all representations, other than those on the label, disseminated in any manner or by any means, re- lating to seed within the scope of this chapter. 2. Label Requirement. Each separate container of agricultural or vegetable seed, including seeds in small packets, which is sold, offered for sale, or exposed for sale, within this state for sowing purposes shall bear theron or have attached thereto in a conspicuous place a plainly written or printed label or tag in the English language, giving the information as set forth in sections 3 and 4. 3. Agricultural Seeds. For agricultural seeds the following is re- quired: I. Commonly accepted name of kind, or kind and variety, of each agricultural seed component in excess of five per cent of the whole and the percentage by weight of each. Where more than one component is required to be named, the word "mixture" or mixed" shall be associated with the name on the label. II. Lot number or other lot identification. III. Origin, if known, of alfalfa, red clover and field corn (except hybrid corn). If the origin is unknown, that fact shall be stated. IV. Percentage by weight of all weed seeds, including those known as noxious weeds. V. If present, the names of the kinds of secondary noxious-weed seeds and the rate of occurrence of each: (A) Per ounce in Agrostis spp., Poa spp., Rhodes grass, Bermuda grass, timothy, orchard grass, fescues, alsike and white clover, reed canary grass, Dallis grass, ryegrass, foxtail millet, crimson clover, Brassica spp., flax, Agropyron spp., and other agricultural seeds of similar size and weight, or mixture within this group, and (B) Per pound in proso, Sudan grass, wheat, oats, rye, barley, buck- wheat, sorghums, vetches, and other agricultural seeds of a size and weight siinilar to or greater than those within this group, or any mixtures within this group. All determinations of noxious-weed seeds shall be subject to tolerances and methods of determination prescribed in the rules and regu- lations under this chapter. VI. Percentage by weight of agricultural seeds other than those re- quired to be named on the label. VII. Percentage by weight of inert matter. VIII. For each named agricultural seed, percentage of germination, exclusive of hard seed, percentage of hard seed, if present, and the calendar month and year the test was completed to determine such percentages. IX. Name and address of the person who labeled said seed, or who sells, offers, or exposes said seed for sale within this state. 4. Vegetable Seeds. For vegetable seeds, the following is required: I. Name of kind and variety of seeds, and the calendar month and year when last tested for germination. II. For seeds ^vhich germinate less than the standard last established by the comissioner of agriculture hereunder, and in type not smaller than ten point size: percentage of germination exclusive of hard seed; percentage of hard seed, if present; and the words, "below standard." III. Name and address of the person who labeled said seed, or who sells, offers or exposes said seed for sale within the state. 5. Illegal Sales. It shall be unlawful for any person to sell, offer for sale or expose for sale any agricultural or vegetable seed within this state: I. Unless the test to determine the percentage of germination re- quired by sections 3 and 4 shall have been completed within a nine-month period, exclusive of the calendar month in which the test was completed, immediately prior to sale, exposure for sale, or offering for sale or trans- portation. II. Not labeled in accordance with the provisions hereof, or having a false or misleading labeling. III. Pertaining to which there has been a false or misleading ad- vertisement. IV. Any agricultural seeds containing any primary noxious weed seeds except as may be allo^ved under tolerances prescribed in the rules and regulations hereunder. 6. Prohibitions. It shall be unlawful for any person within this state: I. To detach, alter, deface, or destroy any label provided for herein or the rules and regulations made and promulgated hereunder, or to alter or substitute seed, in a manner that may defeat the purposes hereof. II. To disseminate any false or misleading advertisement concerning agricultural or vegetable seed in any manner or by any means. III. To hinder or obstruct in any way any authorized person in the performance of his duties hereunder. IV. To fail to comply with a "stop sale" order. 7. Exemptions. The provisions of sections 2 to 6, inclusive, do not apply to seed or grain not intended for sowing purposes, nor to seed in storage in, or consigned to, a seed cleaning or processing establishment for cleaning or processing, provided, that any labeling or other representation which may be made with respect to the unclean seed shall be subject to the provisions hereof. 8. Exceptions. No person shall be subject to the penalties hereof for having sold, offered or exposed for sale in this state any agricultural or vegetable seeds, which were incorrectly labeled or represented as to kind, variety, or origin which seeds cannot be identified by examination thereof, unless he has failed to take all proper precautions to insure the identity to be that stated in accordance with rules and resrulations hereunder. -&• 9. Duties and Authority of Commissioner of Agriculture. The com- missioner of agriculture, "who may act through his authorized agents, shall have the power: I. To sample, inspect, make analyses of, and test, agricultural and vegetable seeds transported, sold, offered or exposed for sale within this state for sowing purposes, at such time and place and to such extent as he may deem necessary to determine whether said agricultural or vegetable seeds are in compliance with the provisions hereof, and to notify promptly the person who transported, sold, offered or exposed the seed for sale, of any violation. II. To prescribe, and after public hearing to adopt, rules and regu- lations governing the methods of sampling, inspecting, analysis, tests, and examination of agricultural and vegetable seed, and the tolerances to be followed in the administration hereof, which shall be in general accord with officially prescribed practice in interstate commerce, and such other rules and regulations as may be necessary to secure the efficient enforce- ment hereof. III. To enter upon any public or private premises during regular business hours in order to have access to seeds subject to this chapter and the rules and regulations promulgated hereunder. IV. To issue written or printed "stop sale" orders which shall prohibit further sale of any lot of agricultural or vegetable seed which the commis- sioner has reason to believe is in violation of any of the provisions hereof until the law has been complied with or said violation otherwise legally disposed of: Provided, that no "stop sale" order shall be issued or attached to any lot of seed without first giving the owner or custodian of such seed an opportunity to comply with the law or to withdraw the seed from sale. V. To establish and maintain or make provision for seed testing facilities, to employ qualified persons, and to incur such expenses as may be necessary to comply Avith these provisions. VI. To make or provide for making purity and germination tests of seeds for farmers and dealers on request; to prescribe rules and regulations governing such testing; and to fix and collect charges for the tests made. All fees collected hereunder shall be paid over by the commissioner to the state treasurer who shall keep the same in a special fund to be used only for the purposes of this chapter. VII. To co-operate with the United States Department of Agriculture in seed law enforcement. 10. Seizure. Upon the recommendation of the commissioner of agri- culture or his duly authorized agents, the court of competent jurisdiction in the area in which the seed is located shall cause the seiztire and subse- quent denaturing, processing, or destruction to prevent the use for sowing 8 purposes of any lot of agricultural or vegetable seed found to be unfit for sowing purposes: Provided, that in no instances shall the denaturing, processing, or destruction be ordered without first having given the claimant of said seed an opportunity to apply to said court for the release of said seed. 11. Penalties. Whoever violates any of the provisions of this chapter or any rule or regulation promulgated hereunder shall be fined not exceed- ing one hundred dollars for the first offense and not exceeding two hundred and fifty dollars for each subsequent offense. Fines collected hereunder shall be paid, by the court collecting the same, to the commissioner of agri- culture and by him forwarded to the state treasurer for the use of the state. 12. Publication. The commissioner of agriculture shall publish, or cause to be published, the results of test and analyses of samples of agri- cultural and vegetable seeds, as herein provided, together with the names and addresses of the persons from whom the samples of seed were obtained. He may publish such other information as he may deem advisable concern- ing the value, character and use of certain seeds. 13. Takes Effect. This act shall take effect upon its passage. Ap- proved March 10, 1943. RULES AND REGULATIONS Sampling (a) In order to secure a representative sample, equal portions shall be taken from evenly distributed parts of the quantity of seed to be sampled. Access shall be had to all parts of that quantity. (b) For free-flowing seed in bags or bulk, a probe or trier shall be used. For small free-flowing seed in bags, a probe or trier long enough to sample all portions of the bag should be used. (c) Non-free flowing seed, such as certain grass seed, uncleaned seed, or screenings, difficult to sample with a probe or trier, shall be sampled by thrusting the hand into the bulk and withdrawing representative portions. (d) The portions shall be combined into a composite sample or samples. (e) As the seed is sampled, each portion shall be examined, and when- ever there appears to be a lack of uniformity, additional samples shall be taken to show such lack of uniformity as may exist. Bulk seeds shall be sampled by inserting a long probe or thrusting the hand into the bulk as circumstances require in several uniformly distributed parts of the quantity being sampled. Bags. (1) In quantities of five bags or less, each bag shall be sampled. (2) In quantities of more than five bags, at least every fifth bag but not less than five bags shall be sampled. Samples shall be drawn from un- opened bags except inider circumstances where the identity of the seed has been preserved. In sampling packet seeds, entire unopened packets shall be taken. Size of sample. The following are minimum weights of samples of seed to be submitted for analysis, test, or examination: (1) Two ounces of grass seed not otherwise mentioned, white or alsike clover, or seeds not larger than these. (2) Five ounces of red or crimson clover, alfalfa, ryegrass, brome- grasses, millet, flax, rape, or seeds of similar size. (3) Two pounds of cereals, vetches, or seeds of similar or larger size. (4) Two quarts of screenings. Analysis The New Hampshire seed laboratory will be guided in making purity and germination tests by the rules and regulations prescribed luider the Federal Seed Act. Tolerance Owing to the natural variation between tests, the following tolerances shall be allowed between the percentages found by analysis, test or examina- tion and the percentages stated on the tag accompanying the seed: 10 For purity: Allowing "a" to represent the component being considered and "b" the difference between that percentage and 100, according to the following formula: ( a X b ) Pure seed tolerance=0.6-|- ( 0.2 X ) ( 100 ) a sample of timothy guaranteed 99.20% could test as low as 98.40% and be "satisfactory." For germination: The following tolerances are applicable: Mean: Tolerance 96 or over 5 90 or over but less than 96 6 80 or over but less than 90 7 70 or over but less than 80 8 60 or over but less than 70 9 Less than 60 10 Therefore, a sample of seed guaranteed 85% for germination may be as low as 77% and be "satisfactory." For '^veed seeds: The law requires in the labeling of agricultural seed (1) that the percentage of all weed seeds present shall be shown on the tag, (2) that no primary noxious ^veed seeds shall be present in the sample, and (3) that, if present, the names of the kinds of secondary noxious weed seed and the rate of occurrence of each shall be stated: (A) Per ounce in Agrostis spp., Poa spp., Rhodes grass, Bermuda grass, timothy, orchard grass, fescues, alsike and white clover, reed canary grass, Dallis grass, ryegrass, foxtail millet, crimson clover, Brassica spp., flax, Agropyron spp., and other agri- cultural seeds of similar size and weight, or mixtures within this group, and (B) Per pound in proso, Sudan grass, wheat, oats, rye, barley, buck- wheat, sorghums, vetches, and other agricultural seeds of a size and weight similar to or greater than those within this group, or any mixtures within this grotip. Certain tolerances are allowed, however, to provide for variation and unavoidable errors, but only within very narrow limits and for which there is always a standard formula for computation. Examples: (1) Timothy guar- anteed only 2 per cent weed seeds will not be condemned if it has a 2.59 per cent. (2) No primary noxious weed seeds are allowed, but the presence of two such seeds in 50 grams of timothy would not be considered a viola- tion. (3) Similarly, some slight variation from the minimum requirement for labeling secondary noxious weed seeds will be passed as satisfactory. Free Testing The Seed Testing Laboratory will allow two free tests, in a given year, to any resident company or person of New Hampshire, btit such seeds must be received in the laboratory during the months of October, Novem- ber, December and January. This number of samples, not including mix- tures, may be analyzed either for purity or for germination, or one sample for both purity and germination, free of charge. A given seed company will 11 be entitled to two private tests without charge, but not two from each branch store. For numbers in excess of two, a charge will be made for labor and consumable supplies only, the amount depending on the type of sample according to the following schedule: Germination tests of all vegetable seeds, 30 cents; Germination tests of all agricultural crop seeds and grasses, 50 cents; Germmation tests of mixtures, 50 cents for each kind of seed present; Purity analyses of cereals, timothy and larger crop seeds and legumes, $1.00; Purity analyses of small grasses, $2.00; unhulled redtop, $2.50; Purity analyses of mixtures, including those for lawn and pasture seed- ing, a charge sufficient to cover the actual cost of working the sample submitted for test, minimum charge of $2.50. Such private samples of seed to be tested should be drawn in such a way as to be representative of the bulk lot from which they are taken, and should be addressed to the State Seed Testing Laboratory, Durham, New Hampshire. Such private tests cannot be declared as state official tests unless drawn by a representative of the department of agriculture, as provided in Chapter 224 of the Public Laws. Fees must be paid before reports will be sent out. The minimum weights of samples to be submitted for analyses are: 1. Two ounces of grass seed, white or alsike clover, or seeds not larger than these. 2. Five ounces of red or crimson clover, alfalfa, rye grasses, millet, rape, or seeds of similar size. 3. One pound of cereal, vetches or seeds of similar or larger size. The minimum number of seeds of any one kind to be submitted for a germination test is 400.
