�SEED TESTS.
Made September

1916, to
September
1,
1917.
The provisions of the Pure Seed Law enacted by the General
Court in 1909 require the publication annually of a bulletin
showing the results of all seed tests made officially during the

of the State Commissioner of Agriculture, who has appointed
the writer, Agronomist of the Experiment Station, as his regular
agent for making all tests and analyses in this state.
During the year ending September 1, 1917, one hundred and
three samples of seed were collected and sent in for analysis
by an authorized representative of the Commissioner of Agriculture.
These samples were secured from twenty-eight dealers
in twenty-one different towns, representing each of the ten
counties of the state.
The samples included 7 of alsike clover,
13 of red clover, 4 of white clover, 4 of barley, 8 of corn, 14 of
millet, 3 of oats, 12 of redtojD, 26 of timothy, and 9 of miscellaneous seeds.
In the testing and analyzing of
seeds, just as in the chemical
of fertilizers, it should be remembered that there are
analysis
certain factors which make exact duplication of results impossible.
There are always slight variations in drawing a sample
of seed, in sampling the sample, in weighing small fractional
parts of it, in the counting and identification of numerous

somewhat.
In publishing the
results of this year's samples we have again
use of a table of "tolerance of variation" for purity which
has been prepared by one of the leading seed laboratories of the
made
country, and which seems to afford a very satisfactory method
of allowing or tolerating a reasonable variation in purity tests.
The percentage variation for any given sample is determined
bv the following formula
:

After applying the variations found by the above formula
we have simply used the following
terms instead of stating the actual figures in the tabulations
"Satisfactory," meaning that the difference between our test
and the guarantee is within the variation allowed; "Above,"
meaning that our test, after allowing for the variation, is above
the guarantee; "Below," meaning that our test, after allowing
for the variation, is below the guarantee.
In the matter of germination a variation of 5% has been allowed in the statement of results and the same terms used as
described above for purity.

SUIHiVIARY.
From the tables on the preceding pages it will be noted that
90 of the 103 samples collected were guaranteed for purity
and 84 for germination. In other words, 87 per cent of the
seed represented by the samples was sold according to the law
as regards purity and 81 per cent as regards germination.
These percentages are higher than last year, when they stood
at 82 and 66 respectively.
Of the total 90 samples which were guaranteed for purity,
85 of them, or 94 per cent, were found to be up to or above the
guarantee.
Of the 84 samples which were guaranteed for germination,
67 of them, or 80 per cent, were found up to or above the

Among the seeds tested this year alsike clover, millet, oats
and timothy were on the average above the standard per cent
of purity while red clover, white clover and redtop were below
the standard per cent.
As regards germination, the average
per cent was up to standard for all kinds of seed except millet,

LABELING.
The law does not apply to the common five and ten-cent
packages of garden and flower seeds.
Only seeds sold in hulk
or in packages of one pound or more are subject to the provisions of the law and are required to be accompanied by a guarantee stating their percentage of purity and vitality.
The guarantee or label may be of any form desired by the
seller of the seeds, as a tag, sticker or direct
brand upon the
container.
It must, however, be plainly written or printed,
and placed distinctly visible to the purchaser. Each dealer
will provide his own labels.
TAKING OF SAMPLES.

SENDING OF SAMPLES.
Samples sent to the Experiment Station for testing should be
enclosed in a strong paper envelope and securely fastened.
They should not be sent in bottles or glass jars, owing to the
danger of breakage. When a number of samples are to be
sent they should be put up securely in a single package and
forwarded either by parcel post or by express. Each sample
sent in should be marked as follows:
Name and address of sender.
Kind
Date of sending.
