CALIFORNIA SEED CROPS. 



California now leads the United States 

 in seed production, both in quantity and 

 quality, and in fact has a monopoly of 

 many important seeds, says the August 

 bulletin of the California Development 

 Board, issued Spptembcr 4. Before the 

 war beet, carrot, radish and spinach 

 seed came from Europe. Now we export 

 instead of importing these seeds. There 

 are about 21,537 acres of vegetable seeds 

 alone this year. Following are reports 

 on seed conditions: 



BEET. — The garden beet seed crop 

 is practically all harvested. It is esti- 

 mated that the crop averages from 600 

 to 700 pounds per acre. The mangel beet 

 seed crop withstood climatic conditions 

 better and it is estimated that it yielded 

 from 900 to 1,000 pounds per acre. The 

 sugar beet seed crop has matured in 

 good condition and a normal crop is 

 expected. 



CARROT. — The carrot seed crop in 

 California is about to be harvested and 

 the quality of the seed promises to be 

 good, with a yield varying from 500 

 to 900 pounds per acre; 700 pounds per 

 acre is considered a good yield. 



LETTUCE. — The lettuce seed crop is 

 reported to be fair, and the yield can 

 be estimated at about 400 pounds per 

 acre. 



MUSTARD.— Mustard in the Delta 

 and Santa Clara districts is promising 

 a better crop than last year, but it is 

 not yet uc to normal. The average yield 

 per acre wil! probably be something 

 like 700 pounds. 



ONION. — While some of the onion crop 

 was damaged, the present general aver-
