AKERIOAN SEED TSADE ASSOCIATION. 



President, H. O. Baitlnc*. Atlanta, Qa.; 

 ■ecretarytreasurer, C. B. 'Kendel, Cleveland, O. 



W. W. Barnard returned September 

 14 from an automobile trip to Escanaba, 

 Mich., and northern Wisconsin. 



Exports of this season's crop of onion 

 seed from the Canary islands are prac- 

 tically finished. They amounted to 58,- 

 000 pounds, valued at $87,000. 



Jobbers report bulb business booming. 

 It seems proven that a considerable nium- 

 ber of buyers who have been in the habit 

 of placing import orders did not do so 

 last spring and now are buying from 

 American dealers. 



According to government reports, this 

 season saw an increase in planting for 

 canneries of corn and peas, the former of 

 1.3 per cent and the latter of 3.2 per cent. 

 There was a decrease of tomatoes planted 

 for canneries of 4.6 per cent and of snap 

 beans of 25.8 per cent. 



The production of white clover seed in 

 Wisconsin this year is estimated to be 

 nearly normal and about the same as, or 

 slightly greater than, last year. In the 

 leading producing section a yield per acre 

 of 240 pounds is reported, compared with 

 225 pounds in 1919, but this increased 

 yield is offset by a slight decrease in the 

 acreage cut for seed. The white clover 

 seed crop in southern Idaho is reported 

 to be light, and not enough for local re- 

 quirements is expected. 



The movement of field seeds in most 

 sections from growers' hands has been 

 below normal, according to reports re- 

 ceived by the United States bureau of 

 markets. While harvesting was from one 

 to two weeks late for some seed crops in 

 important producing areas, the slow 

 movement this season is to be attributed 

 more to the failure of seedsmen to make 

 bids on samples of seed submitted by 

 growers and local shippers. They seem 

 to prefer to let the growers hold the seed 

 until the seedsmen are reasonably sure 

 of an outlet at a price that would leave 

 them a fair profit.
