This amendment, of so great interest 

 to seedsmen and the purchasers of seeds, 

 was suddenly offered by the Senate 

 committee on agriculture and forestry 

 to the Senate while considering the 

 agricultural appropriation bill. The 

 Senate agricultural committee adopted 

 this amendment without notice or the 

 granting of any hearing to those inter- 

 ested in this important matter. There 

 was no opportunity given to object to 

 this amendment in the Senate, except 

 by raising the point of order against 

 the provision as new legislation, and, 

 of course, such proceeding was impos- 

 sible. Prompt and strenuous opposition 

 to this inconsiderate action of the Sen- 

 ate was made to the conferees of the 

 Senate and House, but these eight gen- 

 tlemen decided the case.

BERMUDA ONION SEED. 



Secretary of Agriculture Houston has 

 interested himself in the Bermuda onion 

 seed situation, and August 3 announced 

 that Bermuda onion seed of better qual- 

 ity than that of the last few seasons 

 should be available for American grow- 

 ers this year, according to reports made 

 by consular agents in the Canary Is- 

 lands a month in advance of the har- 

 vest, which is now in progress. Practi- 

 cally the entire supply of seed of this 

 type of onion used in the United States 

 is grown on these islands. 



One of the unusual features of the 

 present crop, it was stated in the re- 

 port, is a decided increase in the

amount of seed of the choice, expensive 

 wax or white onion. The crop of ca- 

 nary or yellow onion seed had suffered 

 greatly, however, because of the winter 

 droughts, and showed a loss estimated 

 at ixfivsi forty to fifty per cent. The 

 less sought red seed also suffered, but 

 to a smaller degree than the yellow. 



The crop of Canary Island onion seed 

 of all varieties for 1915 practically was 

 exhausted, it is declared, and farmers 

 therefore will run less risk of receiving 

 seed in which old stock has beeii mixed. 

 It is suggested, however, that American 



buyers should be careful to deal with 

 firms known to be reliable. 



Factors in determining the price of 

 onion seed this season, in addition to 

 the condition of the crop already men- 

 tioned, include a decrease in the de- 

 mand from Argentina and Cuba and an 

 increase in freight rates. The seed will 

 probably reach the United States over 

 freight routes somewhat different from 

 those made use of in the past. Delays 

 in transshipment by way of England 

 last year have led to abandonment of 

 that roftte to a considerable extent. The
