and exporters of plants and florists'

 such an announcement. 



The Department of Agriculture has 

 just sent two representatives to Eu- 

 rope to obtain information concerning 

 clover, grass and vegetable seed 

 stocks and requirements in the vari- 

 ous European countries for the use of 

 governmental agencies in shaping the 

 export policy as to certain kinds of 

 seed. The supply of certain of our 

 seeds must be conserved, the Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture states, but it may 

 be that our people here will have to 

 take chances on the supply so that 

 the countries with which the United 

 States was associated in the war may 

 be taken care of.
