Show Farmers Warned as to Alfalfa Seed Supplies Buyers of alfalfa, clover, and sweet clover seeds are warned by C P. Bull, In charge of the state laboratory at University farm, St. Paul, to be on their guard In buying seed supplies for next spring. lie says that purchasers pur-chasers should examine closely all seeds of the kind3 named, to make sure that they contain no red, green, or violet colored seeds. If such colors are present, at least a part of the seed Is from Europe, South America, or Canada and the hardiness of such seeds may be questioned. Mr. Bull calls attention to the fact that the pure seed act requires that all agricultural seeds offered for sale and samples of seed supplies which nre stored elsewhere must be labeled so that the buyer may know exactly the characteristics and conditions of the supplies. Similar warnings are being sent out In other northwestern states. |
