JDLT 20, 1916. 



=a 



Sachaline is a native of the island 

 of Saghalien, whence it obtains its com- 

 mon namOj and from where it was first 

 described in 1859. The plant is a hardy 

 herbaceous perennial and spreads by 

 stout creeping rootstocks. The stems of 

 well grown plants become six to fifteen 

 feet high and bear numerous large, 

 heart-shaped leaves. The flowers are 

 small, greenish white and form in small 

 clusters in the axis of the leaves. Seeds 

 are produced rather sparingly. 



Sachaline was cultivated as an orna- 

 mental for some years in Europe before 

 M. Doumet-Adamson in France called 

 attention to its value as forage. As the 

 plant was said to be easily propagated 

 and vigorous in growth, this resulted 

 in its enthusiastic booming. It was 

 even extolled as a crop for arid regions, 

 though it is native to a cool, moist cli- 

 mate. In the years immediately follow- 

 ing the plant was much advertised in 

 the United States. 



Tests of the plant were made about 

 this time by the Department of Agri- 

 culture and by many experiment sta- 

 tions. Most of the reports are adverse, 

 the plant not thriving well under the 

 conditions tested, but partially favor- 

 able results were secured in Florida, 

 Iowa, North Carolina and Massachu- 

 setts. 



In spite of its vigorous exploitation 

 by interested parties, it is significant 

 that sachaline has never secured any 

 definite agricultural status in this coun- 

 try. Occasionally splendid specimens 

 are found in gardens, which seem to 

 indicate that great yields under field 

 conditions might be obtained, but such 

 hopes thus far have not been realized. 



CONDITION OF OANNERS' CROPS. 



The U. S. Bureau of Crop Estimates 

 has received, from a special list of can- 

 ners, reports relating to the condition 

 July 1 of truck crops grown for can- 

 ning purposes. Correspondents were 

 requested to estimate the condition on 

 the basis of 100, representing a normal 

 condition. The results of the tabula- 

 tion of the replies are given below:
