Early in the sprinp of the present

With the assista.nce ot Agricultural
Assoolations, Institute worlcors and

In the Sped Laboratory those 1

a • '

sociation of Amerioan Oolloges and
Experiment Stationa were. followed
In detail.
Evido of wilful adulteration was
found inneea few instanceo. One sani-

of seed. From ten .to twenty per

fluently f u d in los of Alsike

and Timothy sed. On tho whole
there has not been serious cause for
complaint beemise of low vitality It
is theq largo uantities and noxious
nature of theweed seeds found in
most of the samples thitt render the
evils connected with the trade in
grass and clover seeds of more than
ordinary importance to agriculture.
The number of weed seeds per pound
of seeds as marketed, fanged with
Timothyfrom 0 to 1,287,600; Al-
Om from 90 to 180,450; and lied
Clover from 0 to 45,505. Tho ap-
' te numbor of seeds in a.

pound of Timothy seeds is 1,850,-
000; Alsike 750,000; and Red Clover
300,000. The wood ocieds named in

The trade in red clover and alsike
is, undoubtedly, the most fruitful

There were assessed la tho, pro-

56,8 per coot, was cleared, as com-
pared with 22,885,464 acres and
52.4 per cent. cleared in 1892.
Tho prodaction of wheat was 15,-
948,220 bushels from 911,587 acres.
This means S. crop of 17.4 bushois,
worth, 511.56 per acre, a, fairly
strong argument against extensive

country. The production of oats

was consideoably less than any year
