tion to know what our percentage will 

 be. In the west the crop is only fair. 



The pea crops, both in Michigan and 

 Idaho, have been seriously injured and 

 our crops in both places will be only 

 partial. 



Corn is the latest we have ever known 

 it since coming to Sioux City and we 

 had a slight frost the latter part of Sep- 

 tember, although not sufficient to injure 

 the corn in any way, but the last days 

 of September and the first days of Oc- 

 tober have been favorable for the ma- 

 turing of corn. While we do not antici- 

 pate a full crop, we expect to make a 

 fair delivery. The superintendent of 

 this department is hoping to get data to- 

 gether to give detailed information in 

 the near future. We would say that the 

 sweet corn in our territory is fairly 

 good. H. A. Johns.

HOW AUSTRALIANS WANT SEED. 



The TJ. S. Bureau of Foreign and Do- 

 mestic Commerce has received from one 

 of the officials of the bureau abroad 

 some interesting information relating 

 to commerce and quarantine acts ap- 

 plying to the import of seed into Aus- 

 tralia. The circular embodying this in- 

 formation states, in part, that all seeds 

 consigned to Australia must comply 

 fully with the regulations of the com- 

 merce and quarantine acts, which are 

 as follows: 



The country of origin of the seeds 

 must be stenciled on the outside of 

 package or bag; the seeds must be in 

 good order, and, in addition, free from 

 weeds and foreign matter, and must be 

 of strong germinating power. A decla- 

 ration to this effect must be stenciled 

 on the bag. It is not sufficient that this 

 declaration be written on a tag and at- 

 tached by string. The prescribed word- 

 ing for the above is, 



Sound, clean and new. 



For instance, all consignments of rye 

 grass seed being shipped to Australia 

 would need to have stenciled on the 

 outside of every bale or sack: 



Rye Grass Seed, 

 Produce of U. S. A., 

 Sound, clean and new. 



Similarly, red clover seed shipped 

 from U. S. A. would need the inscrip- 

 tion: 



Red Clover Seed, 



Produce of U. S. A., 



Sound, clean and new. 



The specific country of origin must 

 appear, and it will not be sufficient to 

 brand the bags "America," but U. S. 

 A. must be plainly specified. 



The quarantine act insists that any 

 seed having the slightest trace of dod- 

 der or ergot is prohibited admission to 

 the commonwealth, and it is absolutely 

 essential that all seeds consigned to 

 Australian houses are free from the 

 same. This regulation applies particu- 

 larly to alfalfa and red clover as far as 

 dodder is concerned, and rye grass as 

 far as ergot is concerned. 



The act further prescribes that no 

 bags must be of greater weight than 

 200 pounds gross, so as to facilitate 

 handling and save the backs of the 

 stevedores. Even if the bags weigh 

 a fraction more than 200 pounds, they 

 have to be opened and the excess quan- 

 tity taken out.
