awarding grants'to 15 ad
ditional fire companies for
the purchase of small

the seed involved and
provided - the necessary
evidence for the successful
completion of the case.
Kerstetter said that the

protect farmers and other
consumers when they
purchase seed shipped in
interstate commerce. The
Act is administered by the
