Organization Needed. 



It will be easily seen that some or- 

 jjanization will have to be maintained 

 for the carrying out of the provisions of 

 the code. The officials of the bureau of 

 plant industry assured the committee 

 that they are ready to do anything in 

 their power to assist in this work. Tho 

 general sentiment was that there was no 

 agency in the world better fitted to carry 

 on this type of work, properly organized, 

 and that with close cooperation between 

 the seed growers, seed dealers, vegetable 

 growers and bureau of plant industry, 

 more progress could be made than has 

 ever been anticipated, and that the 

 United States would stand to lead the 

 world in this particular phase of tlie 

 work. Without question tho. results of 

 careful, .systematic effort along these 

 lines would lead to a much higher grade 

 of seeds, eliminate a good deal of trade 

 which is entirely unjustified, uncover 0]>- 

 portuuities now ]>rovided for men wlui 

 do an illegitimate businesSj and in every 

 way promote efficiency. On the other 

 hand, it seems clear that the opportunity 

 in the seed trade or in the production of 

 new varieties will be in no way 

 lessened, but the ])Ossibility of real 

 progress without waste of efl'ort will be 

 greatly enhanced. 



DANISH SEED CROPS SMALLER. 



"The decline in seed i)rices, which 

 made itself felt all the world over al- 

 ready during the 1018 season, and the 

 incongruity it evolved between the 

 Danish seed culture and the other lines 

 of Danish agriculture," state Hjalmar 

 Hartmann & Co., of Copenhagen, Den- 

 mark, in their crop report, "has caused 

 farmers to indulge in some unfounded 

 mistrust about seed growing, equaled 

 only by the ojitiinism they felt a few 

 years ago about the same subject. 



"The change, as explained above, is 

 chiefly due to the dropping seed prices, 

 to which must be added that, at the same 

 time, the prices for breadstuffs and feed- 

 ing materials advanced. The incongru-
