DUTCH VALLEY? 



The quantities of valley pips arriving 

 at New York on the steamers of the 

 Holland-America line, while osten- 

 sibly of Dutch production, lead to the 

 suspicion that the British restrictions 

 are not so close as interested persons in 

 the United States had been led to be- 

 lieve. For several weeks each boat has 

 brought valley pips, the consignments 

 on the Noordam, which filed its manifest 

 at the New York customhouse Decem- 

 ber 18, being as follows:

The recent shipments no doubt consist 

 principally of gladioli, although the 

 greater part of the gladiolus bulbs come 

 in the spring. 



SEED IMPORTATIONS. 



"During the fiscal year 1916," says 

 the report of W. A. Taylor, chief of the 

 Bureau of Plant Industry, "there was a 

 gradual increase in the number of sam- 

 ples of seed submitted for test to the 

 Washington seed laboratory, as well as 

 to the cooperative branch laboratories. 

 Owing to the unusual conditions in Eu- 

 rope, the normal supply of winter rape 

 seed was unavailable, and much other 

 seed was imported under the name of 

 rape. Seed purchased in the open mar- 

 ket as winter rape showed that seeds 

 of seven other types of plants, all un- 

 suitable for forage purposes, were being 

 sold under this name. Teats of imported 

 seeds have shown that large quantities 

 of red and crimson clover seed brought 

 into the United States germinated so 

 poorly as to be of little or no agricultural 

 value, and that much of the orchard grass 

 seed contained but a small proportion of 

 good seed, the balance being mostly 

 chaflF. The seed importation act has now 

 been amended, prohibiting the entry of 

 such low grade seed. Through the en- 

 forcement of the seed importation act a 

 large amount of low grade red clover 

 seed offered for import into the United 

 States has been recleaned and the 

 screenings destroyed under customs su- 

 pervision. 



"The amount of important crop seeds 

 imported in the last year varied greatly 

 from that imported in previous years. 

 Only about one-half as much alfalfa seed 

 was imported as in either of the three
