The advantage of securing good goers minating seed Is manifest. Take for instance clover seed which sown on wheat-stubble in the spring. It is als ways possible to secure it at 50 cents or) $1.00 per bushel below the market price quoted by the reputable seedsmen. What is the result of using such seed? It must be considered a foregone con- clusion that such seéd is poor, worth even less than the reduced price at which it 1s offered.

He buys cheap seed; 30, 40, 5% or 60 per cent. of it is an adulteration of seed which has been killed or is old, dead or weak clover seed. The re- mainder is good, fresh seed.
