Penusylvania now has on its statute books what Secretary of agricults Fred Rasmussen has characterized a the finest pure seed law of any State the Union, The law was presented to the Legisldture Pennsylvania Department of Agricul ture, was passed by the law-makers and approved by Governor William C. on April 26th. Uader its provisions the farmers of Pennsylvania are absolutely protected in the purchase of seed, while unscrupulous seed houses that for years have been dumping refuse labeled pur seed in this State will be forced to find markets elsewhere. All seed sold in this State after July 1st will have to be labeled, showing the exact contents, while no seed may be sold containing noxious weed seed. Briefly, the provisions of the new pure seed law, which is the first of its kind ever enacted in this State, follows © The law. does not try to establish grades, but aims to have the seed label- ed so that all essential information about it will be clearly shown and the buyer can then use his judgment, It requires information to be supplied on the following points :—~Common name, percent of pure seed, percent of weed seed, the name and number per ounce of noxious weeds, the percentage of germination, and the seller's mame and address, Varying requirements on these points are made for agricultural seeds, includ. ing vegetable seeds aad mixtures of these. The fiitent of the labeling reqfire- ments is to see that the buyer always bas an opportunity to know just what he 1s getting, and the label may be at- tached to the package, bag, box or other container in which it is sold, or fixed on the container from which it is sold, The act comes into force July 1, 1921. Seeds containing dodder and Canada thistles down to even a very small per. cent are prohibited from sale, and the sale of any seed with more than 3 per cent of weed seeds is also prohibited.
