The CONSTITUTION has been the fundamental law, directing our activity. The above astounding figures represent absolutely needless loss. The amount can be verified by referring to the Nebraska and Iowa State Agri cultural colleges. To prevent this enormous loss from WEEDS, or impure seeds, the Nebraska Legislature has enacted a number of seed laws. Prevention of Unnecessary Loss The State employs a number of inspectors to prevent the sals and use cf impure seed. Seed Houses carrying large stocks, buy their requirements early clean and grade before seeding season. This makes it possible for the State to inspect and sample the entire season's business. Thi3 is the best protection against impure seeds. The next best safe-guard against im pure seed, is the State's inspection privilege of seed in the local merchant's store. The buyer of seed in the State of Nebraska has absolute protection if purchasing seed cleaned in the State shipped into the State of Nebraska by radio houses direct to the consumer, j,as but jittie cha:ice 0f fceir.g- inspected.
