per cent; to Norway, ten per cent, and to 

 Sweden, ten per cent. 



Recent economic changes, difficulties 

 of transportation and governmental. /e- 

 strictious have completely changed this 

 division. For inst^ce, of the large 

 amount of (EraM seeM exported in 1914, 

 fifty p'§r ceSt went to Germany, thirty 

 per cent to England, ten per cent to 

 Switzerland and ten per cent to Norway 

 and Sweden, while the small amount ex- 

 ported in 1917 and 191^ went all to 

 England. 



The future of the seed industry is un- 

 certain, as the possibilities for export 

 depend so much on the new order of 

 things. Interest has recently increased 

 as to the cooperative movement that 

 has resulted in the union of all seed- 

 producing societies over Denmark into 

 one national organization.
