Weed Investigation at Ames and Seed Impurity Bulletin
A bulletin No. 88 from the Iowa Experiment Station explains the weed invasion risk from seeds brought from other states. In 1906 about 400 seed samples from farmers across Iowa were tested for adulteration and vitality, revealing impurities such as dodder Canada thistle foxtail and plantain with alfalfa seed germination around 57 percent and Timothy seed around 64 percent. Only 2 percent of 130 clover samples were pure with about 2 percent average impurity. The bulletin is available by writing Director Charles F Curtis at Iowa State College Ames Iowa Tent Station.
