GEASS SEED IN AUSTBIA. 



The central authorities at Carlsbad, 

 Bohemia, according to the U. S. consul 

 there, issue a publication for the infor- 

 mation and guidance of subordinate of- 

 ficials and of local and school authori- 

 ties of the political division repre- 

 sented. The last number contains a 

 statement that "since the planting of 

 grass seed is unfortunately indulged in 

 only to a slight degree within the 

 monarchy, this country has been com- 

 pelled in normal times to import a 

 great deal of this seed from foreign 

 countries, most of which are now 

 enemy lands; that since this import is 

 now naturally impossible, a large loss 

 of grass seed for the planting of lawns 

 and pastures is feared, if the seed from 

 the wild grass is not gathered and pre- 

 served; and that because of this short- 

 age, the ministry of agriculture in 

 Vienna has sent to the various agricul- 

 tural corporations in the several parts 

 of Austria, a publication, 'The Gather- 

 ing and Planting of Grass Seed,* and 

 a 'Memorandum Regarding the Gather- 

 ing of Grass Seed.' The purpose is to 

 aid in preserving and saving the seed 

 for the coming year.

monarchy amounted to 4,577,000 pounds, 

 valued at $442,064, or, roughly, 9% 

 cents a pound. The average annual im- 

 ports for those years from the five 

 countries sending here the bulk of the 

 imported seed were: Germany, 2,135,816 

 pounds; Great Britain, 1,434,754 

 pounds; Italy, 402,119 pounds; Russia, 

 220,019 pounds; United States, 181,660 

 pounds. Small quantities of grass seed 

 are also usually imported from Den- 

 mark, France, Holland, Eoumania, 

 Switzerland and British India, 



' ' Countries now in the war previously 

 supplied ninety odd per cent of the im- 

 ported seed. When it is again possible 

 freely to export to the monarchy there 

 would seem to be a chance for the 

 United States permanently to enter this 

 market on a larger scale. 



"Before the war lawn grass seed re- 

 tailed at 11 to 13 cents per pound and 

 forage grass seed at 13 cents per pound.
