small acreage the total production Is not ex- 

 pected to be over 250,000 pounds. 



Celery. — The total production of celery seed 

 is estimated to be about 14,000 pounds, which is 

 much less than for any of the last four years. 



Kale. — All the liale seed acreage on Long 

 island and a large percentage of that in the 

 Puget sound district was a failure, and the total 

 returns from the small remaining acreage will 

 be the lowest since 1917. 



Lettuce. — The acreage planted to lettuce seed 

 crops this year is more nearly normal and but 

 slightly less than in 1919 and 1918. Ten per 

 cent of the acreage was a failure, but reported 

 yields ranging from 200 to 600 pounds per acre, 

 averaging 3.50 pounds, indicate a total produc- 

 tion of about 600,000 pounds, compared with 679,- 

 800 pounds last year. 



Onion seed. — A production of only 700,000 

 pounds of onion seed this year, compared with 

 last year's record production of 2,618,000 pounds, 

 is the estimated return from the small acreage 

 planted. The average yield per acre in all grow- 

 ing areas is fairly uniform, being around 32? 

 pounds, but a range of 200 to 500 pounds is re- 

 ported in California. 



Parsley. — The acreage planted to parsley for 

 seed production was slightly larger than normal. 

 An average yield per acre of 450 pounds is re- 

 ported, compared with 764 pounds last year and 

 468 pounds in 1918. 



Parsnip. — The average yield per acre of par- 

 snip seed this yea^ is normal, but the prospec- 

 tive total production is about one-third that of 

 last year because of a reduced acreage. 



Radish. — The sixty per cent reduction in the 

 acreage of radish seed this year from that of 

 1919 is partly offset by a somewhat larger aver- 

 age yield per acre than In recent years. Yields 

 ranging from 200 to 375 pounds are reported in 

 Michigan and from 300 to 1,000 pounds In Cali- 

 fornia. The total production is thought to be 

 about forty per cent of that of 1919. 



Salsify. — Yields per acre of salsify seed vary 

 from 100 to 600 pounds, averaging about 350 

 pounds, compared with 452 pounds in 1919 and 

 an average of 432 pounds for the last four years. 

 The total production on a smaller acreage is 

 about twenty per cent of that of 1919. 



Spinach. — A heavier reduction is noted in the 

 acreage of spinach than of any other seed crop. 

 Only 131 acres are reported, compared with 1,139 

 acres in 1919 and 3,942 acres in 1918. The higher 

 average yield per acre, however, indiclnes a 

 total production of 75,000 pounds, compared with 

 361,000 pounds last year.

WITH POOR GERMINATION. 



Buyer of Seed Should Replant. 



Where a buyer of seed sues for dam- 

 ages for breach of an express or implied 

 warranty by the seller concerning the 

 germinating quality of the seed, the 

 buyer is not to be denied the right to 

 recover merely because he may have 

 unreasonably omitted to avail himself 

 of opportunity to replant after failure 

 of the seed was discovered. But that 

 circumstance is to be considered in com- 

 puting the damages recoverable. 



This is the gist of a decision handed 

 down recently by the Minnesota Su- 

 preme court in the case of Casper vs. 

 Frederick. 



The plaintiff sued to recover damages 

 for breach of a warranty in the sale 

 of a quantity of seed corn and the trial 

 judge decided in favor of the defendant. 

 But, on appeal, the Supreme court or- 

 dered a new trial, on the ground that 

 the trial judge improperly ruled on the 

 law of the case. 



No Disclaimer of Warranty. 



It is to be ndted that, in the sale 

 involved in this case, the seller failed 

 to give notice of a disclaimer of war- 

 ranty, as is so commonly done nowadays 

 by seedsmen.
