 $30,300,000; 1919, $24,000,000, and 1920, 

 $19,700,000. Tlieso figmos include tlie

 liiit not (>ki;i. e^rt;|>liiiit, collnrds, mus- 

 tard, eiidixc and some otlier relatively 

 unim]>ortaut kinds of seed. Neither do 

 tliey include sufjar heel seed. The 

 ihanjjes in values from year to year as 

 shown were brought about j)artly by the 

 highei' contract j)rice, but largely by the 

 increased or decreased production. 



California Leads in Acreage. 



To the jiroduclion of these seeds a 

 tidal of lSfi,.'J4L* acres was devoted in 

 l!>i(!: L':;i.(i7}t in 1917; 1159,721 in 1918; 

 ::;;(i,(!r,!l in l!»Ut, and 202,464 In 1920. 

 These arreages are located in widely 

 scattered sections throughout the coun- 

 Irv. C.-ilifornia leading with 4.'i,040 acres 

 in isn't ;in.l 41.502 acres in 1920, with 

 Idaho a close second and Washington 

 third. In 19IK, however. Wasliington 

 led with 4;i,744 acres, followed closely 

 by C\)lor;ido, Idaho and California in 

 the Older iijimed. Eighty ]ier cent of the 

 ^\■atenn(don see(| acreage is in Jefferson 

 county, Fla.; ninety jier cent of the 

 onion sets are ])roduced in Cook county, 

 111.; eight.v per cent each of the nnisk- 

 melon and cucuml)er in Colorado, and 

 pr:ictically all the carrot, lettuce, onion, 

 ]iarsnip, jiarslev and salsify in well de- 

 iiiM'd areas in California. 



The t(dal number of commercial vegc- 

 t;ible seed gidwcrs in the I'liitcMl States 

 is not over 20li. Of this number fifty 

 control over eighty jier cent of the ag- 

 gregate production, based on the acre- 

 ;ige of vegetables that could be ])lanted 

 from the seed at the usual rate of plant- 

 ing. In a number of cases sixty per 

 cent oi- more of the total jiroduction of 

 a single kind is controlb^l by less than 

 ten growlers or concerns. 



Supply Sufficient for 1921. 



Tlic litL'ti doiiicstii- iirodnction of a 

 number of kinds. ])rincijially garden 

 beet, cabbage, carrot, onion, jiarsnij), 

 radish and turnip seed, was below the 

 estimated average annual consumption 

 in the United States, but with the cvi- 

 ■ lent large carryo\er the total domestic 

 supjdy. if ecpiitably distributed, would 

 be more than snfTicient to meet the 1921 

 re(juiren;r-nts, with the ])Ossil)le exce]i- 

 tion (;i n few sjiecial \arieties of some 

 kir.ds. In the case of a few kinds the 

 production and cairyover have been 

 siijiplemented by fairly large imports. 



Although the total supply is large, 

 much of it is (dil seed and is losing its 

 \itality. Unless these stocks are replen- 

 ished with new ]iroduction at a not far
