J. K. Riigowski Seed Co., Manitowoc, Wis. 



great plains, especially Texas, indicate 

 that the sudan grass seed crop was ex- 

 ceptionally good last season. Every 

 farmer who attempted to grow a crop 

 of seed was rewarded with a harvest 

 about twice as large as he had been led 

 to expect. This unusual seed crop has 

 resulted in glutting the sudan grass seed 

 market, with a consequent reduction in 

 prices. Sudan grass seed can be pur- 

 chased at the present time in wholesale 

 (juantities from reputable seed dealers 

 at from 3 to 5 cents a pound. Some seed 

 growers are complaining that they find 

 it impossible to market their seed for 

 even 1 cent a pound. 



The acreage of sudan grass has been 

 considerably curtailed in the past by 

 the fact that farmers were forced to pay 

 15 to 20 cents a pound for seed. So the 

 department suggests that now is the 

 time for farmers to buy this seed. It 

 also suggests that they lay in a sufficient 

 supply of sudan grass seed to provide 

 for their needs not only this year, but 

 in 1922 also. The discouragement 

 caused by the failure of seed growers 

 to market their product at a reasonable 

 price will undoubtedly cause a shortage 

 of seed the coming year. This will in 

 turn react on the price, and it is likely 

 that sudan grass seed will again be sell- 

 ing at 10 to 15 cents a pound within the 

 next two years, thinks the department.
