- catalog abstract "(1) Serious and intentional adulteration of important forage-plant seeds is frequently practiced. Seed is sometimes misbranded. (2) It is possible for purchasers to detect most kinds of adulteration or misbranding of farm needs. (3) In detecting adulteration it is necessary to know what kinds of seeds are subject to adulteration, the means employed in adulteration, and the distinguishing characters of both the crop and the adulterant seeds. (4) A cheap magnifier suffices in distinguishing crop seeds from other kinds of seeds used as adulterants. (5) A simple germinating test discloses the use of dead crop seed as an adulterant. (6) The illustrations used in this bulletin were prepared especially to enable purchases of farm seeds to distinguish seeds subject to adulteration of those used as adulterants. (7) It is not the purpose of the bulletin to enable one to determine the extent of adulteration in each instance, but rather the more important fact of its existence. (8) A little effort on the part of the purchasers of seeds directed to the detection of adulteration or misbranding will prevent many instances of crop failure. (9) It is advisable to make tests for adulteration at home; otherwise the suspected seed may be sent to the Seed Laboratory at Washington or to the cooperative laboratories in Missouri, Nebraska, or Oregon. A report on the matter of adulteration will be made promptly and without charge.".
