Exports of seeds from Scotland to 

 the United States in 1918 were 316,600 

 pounds, valued at $27,714, compared to 

 162,400 pounds, valued at $9,951, in 1917. 



The S. a. Rogers Co., Newark, N. J., 

 is installing what the members of the 

 firm believe to be the only scientifically 

 equipped seed selection and seed test- 

 ing laboratory installed by a retail seed 

 firm. The laboratories will be known as 

 the Eo-Test-Seed Laboratories (Rogers' 

 Tested Seed). The equipment will be 

 practically a duplication of that nsed by 

 the New Jersey state agricultural sta- 

 tion, at New Brunswick. Seed growing 

 tests, as well as germinating tests, will 

 be given. 



At Santa Cruz it is said the outlook 

 for the 1920 freesia crop is far from 

 pleasing. The fall and winter weather 

 has been severe and growth is backward. 

 The crop is in a healthy condition, but 

 the entire crop will be extremely light 

 on the larger size bulbs, with probably 

 a crop about half of that of last season, 

 making the 1920 crop somewhere around 

 forty per cent of normal. The acreage 

 is OHly sixty per cent of last year. Fer- 

 tilizer has just advanced twenty per cent, 

 and labor is on the increase. 



Despitb its high price, large planting 

 of clover seed is advocated by the De- 

 partment of Agriculture, because, since 

 the supply in foreign markets is as short 

 as it is here, the government experts 

 prophesy high figures on clover seed for 

 the next two years at least. French and 

 Italian stocks are sold out and there ap- 

 pears to be no surplus in Gtermany or
