than were imported during the com- 

 plete calendar years 1913 and 1814 and 

 nearly double those for the full year 

 1912. 



Before the war Germany was the 

 chief source of sugar beet seeds, but 

 the trade is now in the hands of the 

 Russians. In the fiscal year 1914 Ger- 

 many supplied nearly 9,000,000 pounds 

 out of a total of 10,250,000 pounds, the 

 remainder coming chiefly from Austria- 

 Hungary, Russia and Holland. In the 

 fiscal year 1916 Eussia supplied 5,881,- 

 946 pounds out of a total of 9,042,490 

 pounds. Imports of beet seed into the 

 United States for the calendar years 

 1914 to 1916 were as follows: 



Years— Pounds. 



1914 17,567,062 



1915 4,029,022 



1916 (9 months) 18,474,905 



Exports of refined sugar in the first 

 nine months of 1916 totaled 1,388,650,- 

 984 pounds, or nearly fifty per cent 

 more than during the whole calendar 

 year of 1915, three and one-half times 

 more than in 1914 and twenty-six times 

 more than in 1913.

How the European war has changed 

 the channels of the seed trade is illus- 

 trated by the statistics of imports of 

 seeds into Colombia through the port 

 of Cartagena in 1914 and 1915:

MOTT-LY GLEANINGS. 



The Amzi Godden Seed Co., of Bir- 

 mingham, Ala., is moving into new 

 quarters at 2205 Second avenue, where 

 better facilities will help to increase 

 business. 



The Gordon-Gammill Seed Co., of Bir- 

 mingham, says it is comparatively 

 easier to sell than to supply, especially 

 in advance orders, considering the pres- 

 ent condition of stocks. 



In the account of my interview with 

 Walter W. Harndcn, of the Hamden 

 Seed Co., Kansas City, two years should 

 have read twenty-two years, this be- 

 ing the length of time this well known 

 house has done business at the same 

 stand, and, believing a removal almost 

 equivalent to beginning all oyer again, 

 the company prefers to be inconveni- 

 enced for a while and remain in the 

 building during the reconstruction. 



The Pedersen Commission & Seed Co., 

 of St. Louis, reports a large demand for 

 products of all kinds. In addition to 

 a full line of seeds, the company han- 

 dles much farm produce. 



The Yopp Seed Co., of Paducah, Ky., 

 which specializes in onions at this time 

 of the year, says that, in all its years 

 of experience, onions never were so 

 scarce as this year. The pure seed law 

 is benefiting the retailer in that he has 

 no inferior grades of seeds to compete 

 with — the law requires that they be 

 designated as inferior — is the opinion 

 of George Yopp. 



The Hall Seed Co., of Louisville, Ky., 

 reports a good demand for market gar- 

 dening seeds; also grasses of all kinds. 



The Ohio "Valley Seed Co., of Evans- 

 ville, Ind., does a large retail business 

 in field seeds. Clean, bright stocks of 

 timothy and clover were noted, and I 

 was informed that, with the new pure 

 seed law in force, better prices may be
