Made September 1, 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 The administration of this law is in the hands previous year. 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 there may be also fluctuations in the temperature seeds, etc. and humidity of the germinating chamber which may affect the Methods of analysis may also vary percentage of germination. ; For these reasons a slight variation from the guarantee or standard, or from a previous analysis, should not be considered of consequence. 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 : 2(.l-fl00—P) T= 10 which "T" the variation tolerated and "P" is the perThis formula applies only to seed centage of purity found. having a purity of 50% or greater. in is �N. H. 4 EXPERIMENT STATION [Bulletin 186 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. to the results of our tests : The writers desire to acknowledge their appreciation of the careful and efficient work of Miss Alice Fletcher, who assisted in making the reported. tests and examinations of the samples herewith �RESULTS OF SEED TESTS, 1917 Sept., 1917] Kind of Seed, Sender, and Kind and umber of Foreign Seeds Found in One Pound.

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 This is a somewhat better showing than last year. guarantee. 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, ; This would indicate that a considerable rye and white clover. quantity of old seed of these kinds is carried over from year to year. A few samples of redtop were apparently adulterated with Since timothy costs less per pound than redtop, such timothy. a practice would prove profitable for the seedsman. Timothy seeds having much the same shape and color as redtop are difficult to detect, except by the experienced observer. While this adulteration is not particularly objectionable, it is nevertheless unfair because of the difference in price. AMENDED TEXT OF NEW STATE OF IN HAIVIPSHIRE SEED LAW. NEW HAMPSHIKE.

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. To secure a fair average sample of a lot or bulk, take small all of the bags or from different parts of any Mix thoroughly and take out the sample to be inspected. When the seeds are in bags or large bins, the use of a grain sampler is most convenient, since this will insure Since getting seeds from the top, middle and bottom alike. the report of the analysis is based upon the nature of the sample inspected, it is important that the sample be carefully taken. quantities from particular bulk. SIZE The AND A3IOUNTS OF SAIVIPLES. and amount of the samples necessary for a test will depend upon the size and weight of the seeds. About one half ounce or a tablespoonful of the smaller grass and vegetable seeds, like alsike and white clover, redtop, lettuce, onions, radabout one ounce or two tablespoonfuls of the ish, turnip etc. size ; larger seeds, like timothy, millet, red clover, alfalfa, rape, etc. ; and about four ounces or a small cupful of the cereal grains or vegetable seeds, like oats, barley, corn, peas, beans, etc., should be sent. TESTS AND EXAMINATIONS. Section 2 of the law states the provisions under which the tests and analyses shall be made. ^ The Commissioner of Agriculture has appointed F. W. Taylor, A^gronomist of the Experi- ment Station, as the regular agent for making all tests and The sellers or dealers who desire to base analyses in this state. their guarantees upon tests made by themselves or their agents must first secure the approval of the Commissioner of Agriculture of the methods to be used in making the tests, and of the person who is to conduct them. �N.

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. Brand name (if any), of seed. and number of package.

Title A name given to the resource September 1986 Puddledock Press Spotlight Varney's Market Description An account of the resource A September 1986 Puddledock Press Spotlight of Varney's Market. The article reads: Varney's Market There is a country store in town that his been here since approximately 1900. Eighty-six years ago; Ma,. Pa, Junior and Sally could have walked into this store and been greeted by friendly and soft-hearted "Mr. Owner" He would have supplied Ma with her cooking staples and Pa with his tobacco or cigar, and I Just bet Junior and Sally would have left with a smile , compliments of "Mr Owner" who had Just given them each a candy stick. The scene has not changed much today at Varney's Market aside from the products family members might purchase. For example, Pa probably steps in for a pack of cigarettes and a rack of beer. Ma picks up her instant potatoes & microwave veggies. Junior and Sally, their rock magazines & diet soda and chances are they might still leave with a smile, compli-ments of Mr Dick Nichols, Proprietor, who had Just given them each a fruit roll-up. Mr. Nichols, a native of Mass, brought his wife & family to Farmington nine years ago. Looking for an Independent and quieter way of life , they bought the store and started their business and new way of life. Well-known to children and dogs for his soft heart and tasty treats, he is the perfect reflection of the"Mr.Owner" character. He stocks a variety of items that meet the needs of everyday life, making it convenient for residents to shop in town rather than travel to a grocery store out of town, especially for those who have no transportation. Mr. and Mrs. Nichols are happy residents of Farmington, who enjoy the people and simple living of a small town, which In turn makes doing business at Varney's Market an enjoyable experience. These photos are stored together. They are from different periods of time. Last pulled together for possible use in August 1986.
