ucts, all were important factors in tend- 

 ing to maintain the red clover acreage 

 in spite, as it were, of the high price 

 for this seed. Will some or all of these 

 same factors and others operate this 

 year when the price of red clover seed 

 is about forty per cent more than that 

 of last yearf The prevailing high prices 

 of several other kinds of field seeds, 

 some of which have advanced in price 

 more than has red clover, may help to 

 answer this question.

. SPEEDINQ SEED PBODUCTION. 



When an improved variety of seed is 

 badly needed to make up a national 

 shortage of a commodity, the natural 

 increase is not always rapid enough. 

 One way in which an unnatural speeding 

 lip may be secured is shown by the work 

 of the United States Department of 

 Agriculture with flaxseed. Foreign sup- 

 plies of flax coming into the United 

 States were severely reduced during the 

 war and an increase of flax acreage be- 

 came imperative. A large number of 

 pedigree selections and increased plats 

 of the best varieties were grown during 

 the summer of 1918 at the experiment 

 station at East Lansing, Mich. In the 

 fall of that year selections of seed of the 

 various strains were taken to Porto 

 Rico, and an increased crop was grown 

 during the winter. The increased sup- 

 ply of seed thus produced was brought 

 baok to the United States in time for
