FARMERS MAY SELL SEED.
Oregon farmers may sell seed of
their own grown on their own prem
ises to purchasers that buy for their
own use. This notwithstanding the
rigid law requiring that all seed offer
ed for sale in quantities greater than
one pound shall he labeled with the
percentage of purity and viability.
It is pointed out by the Agricultural
College Press ilulletin that any pos
sible inconvenience in buying seed
under the new law may be overcome
in this way and that not only seeds
free of bad weed seed and of strong
rerminating power may be secured
jy farmers and gardncrs. but that the
loiuc grown seed will also have a
-ertam amount of acclimatization. All
eason.
