NEW SKKD LAW EXPLAINED
Coot'<uied On Page Six
The new Texas Seed Law.
"d by the 17th I.egislature. will
help eliminate one oi the hazards
of fanning that i-. questionable
eed. according to J. K, Mclionald.
Stat,- Commissioner of Agricul-
:ure The law r«H|uin's that all
seed oflered for sale for planting
'it sowing pui|Htses must lie lagg-
ed, giving commutly accepted
name, germination |H reentage,
mechanical purity and other in-
formation. Thus, farmers will be
able to buy seed for planting pur-
poses without taking risks its to
its actual value.
Bii'ause other states had more
stringent laws governing the sale
and shipment of -eed. It was no'-
essary that a uniform law he
drawn in order lo protect Texas
farmers from the practice, by lo-
cal as well as out of state firms
and individuals, of ''dumping" in-
ferior quality of seed into the
trade channels of Texas.
There is nothing in the Act to
prevent one farmer from selling
lo another farmer seed grown on
his farm when such seed is not
advertised in the public press out-
side the vendor's county, and not
shipped by common carrier.
If the farmer leave* on rntvsign-
i ment or sells planting seed to a
'merchant, prt.'essor or seed deal-
er in his home county, the dealer
s required to hav« the seed 'est-'d
1 and tagged before it is offered or
exposed for sale.
