Buyers Warned Against
Seed Peddling Truckers
Any trucker who is not a com
mon carrier and who hauls mis
branded seed from one state to
peddle it in another state violates
the Federal Seed Act, the U. S. de
partment of Agriculture warns.
Transporting misbranded seed from
one state to another is forbidden by
law, but common carriers are ex
empt. Selling the misbranded seed
in interstate commerce is also an
offense, and the peddling trucker
could be punished for either or both
of these acts.

Complaints received from state
officials by the Division of Seed In
vestigations, which administers the
act, indicate that much of the seed
sold by truckers from other states
has been sold at unusually low
prices. But this cheap seed is
also of unusually low quality—or
otherwise unsuitable. Truckers
should be able to handle seed that
is correctly labeled and is of high,
quality. Past experience, indicates
however, that it is poor business to
buy seed from a stranger or per
I son whose reputation is not known.
I Buying cheap seed has resulted in
injury to many farmers who have
not realized the importance of buy
ing seed that is clean and free
of noxious weed seeds, seed that
germinates well, and seed of a var
iety adapted to the buyer’s locality.
An investigation mad4 by depart
ment officials in one case revealed
that a truck owner was buying
screenings from a large seed house
and selling it across the state line
as good seed. Of course he was
forced to misbrand the seed to get
buyers. If the seed had been
truthfully labeled, farmers would
have knowm hot tor than to buy it.
Unless he keeps a record in black
and white, a farmer has no re
course against the person who sold
him the seed. There have been ex
treme cases where the seed was not
labeled, where the buyer did not
even know the name of the trucker
or his address, and did not even
make a record of the state and
number on the license plates. It
is impossible for seed law officials
to be of any assistance in a case
of this kind.
The Department of Agriculture
officials think it is unwise to buy
seed unless it is completely labeled
and unless the buyer gets a written
record of the transaction. Any
questionable transactions should be
reported to the state seed official
who may report on the case to the
Federal authorities if it appears
the Federal Seed. Act has been vio
lated.
SEED CORN TESTING
PLANNED FOR CORN
FOR SEED PURPOSES
Location of Suitable Seed Corn For
Spring Planting Principal
Reason For Work.
Plans for testing seed corn to
determine germination for spring
planting will be carried on in an
organized manner in Holt county.
Farm and town youths between the
ages of 15 and 25 will be given
part time employment in the pro
ject under the National Youth Ad
ministration.
Agricultural Agent F. M. Reece
was notified this week of the state
wide seed corn testing plan. M.
K. Young, former Lancaster county
farmer, has been placed in charge
of the testing work to be conducted
by funds from the NYA. The Ne
braska agricultural college exten
sion service is to cooperate.
Location of suitable seed corn
for spring planting and running
germination tests are the chief
purposes of the work which will
probably start immediately. It is
felt Holt county wfill have suffi
cient corn for its own use as ger
mination tests on some cribs have
indicated, the 1936 corn to have
reasonably good germination. How
ever this only impresses the fact
that all corn intended for planting
purposes should be tested. Farmers
are urged to bring in samples of
seed to the Agricultural office in
O’Neill for testing. All will be
done free of charge. Boys and
girls whose families are on relief
will be allowed to put in a maxi
mum of 46 hours per month on the
project. All testing will be done by
use of rag doll testers.
That the seed corn situation is
alarming is some sections was in
dicated last week by the Nebraska
Crop Growers’ Association when
that organization passed a resolu
tion asking the college of agricul
ture to inform farmers accurately
about the problem. D. L. Gross,
extension agronomist at the college
of agriculture who helped work out
plans for the testing project, term
ed the seed situation as very ser
ious and approximately that of
1917. P. II. Stewart and Dr. P. D.
Keim both of the college, expressed
similar opinions recently.

WHY IT’S HARD TO RECOVER
A WPA worker on a road in
Evanston, 111., was hauled into
court for punching his foreman in
the nose. The judge asked: “Why
did you hit the foreman?”
“1 wanted to quit work at three
and he said I couldn’t knock off un
til four-thirty, the regular time,"
answered the prisoner.
“Why did you want to quit at 3?”
“Because I had to run into Chi
cago and get my relief money be
fore the office closed.”
“You mean to say you are gett
ing a salary from the government
and collecting relief too?”
“Yes.”
“Have you a family?”
“Only a twenty-six year old son.”
“iVhat does he do?”
“He’s a relief investigator.’’—

THE PROPOSED CONSTITU
TIONAL AMENDMENT
A great deal of debate is still
going on concerning the possibility
of a new constitutional amendment
to give Congress and the Executive
powers which the Supreme Court,
in the NRA and similar cases, has
decided they do not now possess.
A short time ago Walter Lipp
man, the well-known publicist,
challenged an editor who has often
written in favor of the amendment,
to put it into words—that is, to
prepare the text of such an amend
ment in the clear and legal form in
which it must be submitted to the
people. It was Mr. Lippman’s ex
pressed belief that no one could do
it—and his belief was partially
proved when the editor replied that
the job was beyond him.
The actual preparation of such
an amendment would seem a task
almost beyond human power. How
could we further centralize and
augment powers of the Federal
government—and at the same time
preserve the rights of states, which
are at present guaranteed by the
Constitution? How could we give
to the government at Washington
absolute and dictatorial powers over
commercial and industrial life—
which is what the sponsors of the
amendment want—and at the same
time keep operative the existing
Constitutional guarantees that pro
tect the lawful activities of individ
ual initiative and enterprise? How
could we give into the hands of
politicians sweeping authority over
our basic social and economic in
stitutions—and at the same time
make sure that such fundamental
principles of democratic govern
ment as freedom of press, speech
and action were not infringed?
The Constitution has existed for
more than 150 years. It has made
possible our growth from a handful
of relatively unimportant colonies
to the greatest industrial power in
the modern world. It has pre
served, in the face of a hundred
onslaughts, the human rights and
liberties for which men have fought

those who would emasculate and
change this document are less wise,
less foresighted, less in tune with
