the time required for seed production 

 by transferring stecklings to Cuba and 

 Porto Eico for winter planting has been 

 considered, but this course is not deemed 

 practicable as yet. 



Tomato and Lettuce Seed. 



Much commercial tomato seed is ob- 

 tained as a by-product from the can- 

 ning of tomatoes and the making of 

 catsup and other tomato products. In 

 some cases the reverse is true, and the 

 seed is the main product, while the to- 

 mato pulp is sold to food manufactur- 

 ers. The wholesale price of tomato seed 

 has advanced greatly in the last year, 

 but the cost of labor, more than the 

 size of the tomato crop, determines the 

 price and the quantity of seed. 



California produces lettuce seed and 

 the supply is rarely in doubt. Lettuce 

 has little real food value, but, like rad- 

 ishes, it is found in all gardens and is 

 on the market throughout the year. The 

 seed requirements, therefore, are large. 



A great many other vegetables, such 

 as celery, parsley, okra and collards, 

 are grown, but we are able to produce 

 enough seed of these to meet our own 

 needs without special difficulty. 



The high prices that obtain for vege- 

 table seed doubtless will stimulate the 

 planting of a much larger acreage for 

 seed in the future than even that of 

 1917 and this should not be discouraged. 

 On the other hand, these prices will 

 tempt inexperienced growers to engage 

 in the industry, with a financial loss to 

 themselves and without profit to the 

 country. This would be a real economic 

 waste and should be avoided. 



Other countries, notably Japan, are 

 encouraging the production of vegetable 

 seed, but as yet they have not materially 

 affected the market here. 



Summary and Outlook. 



Never before in the history of our 

 country has the question of seed supply 

 been so vitally important and never has 

 it been so necessary that all legitimate

agencies engaged directly or indirectly 

 in the production or dissemination of 

 seed be utilized efficiently for the na- 

 tional good. It is not the time to break 

 down any feature of the great seed in- 

 dustry organization, since there are no 

 means at hand effectively to replace the 

 tested and proved parts of the ma- 

 chinery. Individual interests must ex- 

 pect to suffer, but they must be pro- 

 tected to the extent of obtaining from 

 them the greatest possible measure of 

 efficiency. 



Temporary seed shortages have devel- 

 oped under new economic conditions and 

 they may continue, but farmers and 

 seedsmen are resourceful and they may 

 be expected to find ways and means to 

 meet not only the needs of this country, 

 but also those of other countries which 

 may be dependent upon us.
