PAGE EIGHT HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, SEPT. 2, 1926. Staining of Imported and Red Clover Seed. (Morrow County Farm Bureau News.) The Federal Seed Act aa amended April 26, 1926, requires that all aeed of Red Clover and Alfalfa imported into the United States be colored. Hearings have bene held and the Sec retary of Agriculture has already pro hibited the entry of alfalfa and Red Clover seed from a number of coun ries where their seed is not adapted to conditions in the United States. This will protect the buyer of these seeds from an enormous annual loss The following types of coloring are required : (a) Ninety days after the formal determination by the Secretary of Agriculture that seeds of alfalfa and red clover from any foreign country or region are not adapted for general agricultural use in the United States, these seeds are prohibited entry into the United States unless at leas 10 per cent of the seeds in each contain er is colored red. All alfalfa and red clover seed for which the country of production can not be shown is pro hibited entry unless at least ten per cent of the seeds in each container is eclored red. (b) Except as provided in para graph (a), all alfalfa and red clover seed is prohibited entry into the Uni ted States unless at least 1 per cent of the seed in each container, if pro duced in Canada, is colored violet and, if produced in any other country, is colored green. , If the purchaser of seed is in doubt as to whether the seed has been color ed or not, an easy method of making a determination is to put a table spoonful of the seed is a glass half full of wood alcohol or denatured al cohol and stir it up. If the seed has been colored, the characteristic color will appear in the alcohol. The Federal Seed Act makes it pos sible for the purchaser of alfalfa and red clover seed to determine definite ly whether the seed he is buying is of domestic or foreign production. Samples of these seeds, stained to conform to the requirements of the Joint Regulations of the Secretary of Treasury and the Secretary of Agri culture, will be forwarded to all Coun ty Agents in the near future so that the manner of staining will be clear ly shown.
