The War Trade Board, January 27, 

 removed all seeds from the export con- 

 servation list, with the single exception 

 of red clover. 



0. A. Nobis and J. B. Hughes, Barry, 

 HI., will open a seed store to be known 

 as the Barry Seed Co. They will deal in 

 farm and vegetable seeds. 



The Food Administration, as of Febru- 

 ary 1, canceled its price and profit re- 

 striction orders on all seeds and with it 

 the licensing regulations. Seedsmen need 

 not turn in their licenses; they may put 

 them in the waste basket or frame them 

 as souvenirs, as suits their fancy. 



Watson S. Woodruff, of S. D. Wood- 

 ruff & Sons, Orange, Oonn., senator from 

 the Fourteenth Senatorial District, in the 

 Connecticut legislature has been made 

 senate chairman of the agricultural com- 

 mittee. This committee has much to do 

 with the development of agricultural mat- 

 ters in his state. 



DuEiNG the war exchange steadily went 

 farther and farther against the Hol- 

 lander. At one time a doUar paid in the 

 United States had shrunk to 80 cents 

 when it got to Holland. Prices had to go 

 up accordingly. Eecently exchange has 

 fallen to a point where prices can oe 

 reduced to an appreciable extent. 



Egbert Nicholson, wholesale dealer 

 in garden and field seeds, Dallas, Tex., 

 has leased for a period of ten years a 

 building to which he intends to add a new 

 story. With the quarters he now occu- 

 pies, his storage space will total 50,000 

 square feet. There is trackage for six 

 cars, required for the heavy field seed 

 business of this concern. New equipment 

 will include a seed laboratory, automatic 

 receiving and sacking scales, seed clean- 

 ers, etc., at a cost of $10,000. 



At the January meeting of the Blue 

 Earth County Seed Growers' Association, 

 held at Mankato, Minn., plans for a seed 

 show to be held at Mapleton, Minn., in 

 connection with the Mapleton Farmers* 

 Institute, were discussed. It was the 

 sense of the meeting that seed shows 

 should be encouraged for each of the 

 towns of the county in the early part of 

 the winter, these to be followed by a 

 county show at Mankato each year. 



l^W SEED BILL AT ALBANY. 



Marshal H. Duryea, of the Nungesser- 

 Dickinson Seed Co., calls the attention 

 of the seed trade in New York that a 

 bill has been introduced in the state 

 legislature at Albany entitled "An act 

 to amend the agricultural law, in rela- 

 tion to agricultural seeds and the sale 

 thereof." 



"On examining this bill," says Mr. 

 Duryea, "you will note it calls for an 

 absolute percentage of purity and ger- 

 mination, but this, as you no doubt 

 know, is an impossibility, as a margin 

 of tolerance is always necessary. We 

 have, therefore, asked that where the 

 word 'percentage' is used, the word 

 'approximate' be inserted before 'per- 

 centage. ' 



"Would also call your attention to 

 that part of Section 344 which deals
