of soy beans for food and manufacturing 

 l)urposes, there is no likelihood of over- 

 proiluftion this year. The soy bean 

 also is a soil improver and the straw is 

 valuable for feeding purposes. 



As a seed crop the soy bean should 

 l)e planted about June 1 in the north. 

 However, in the southern part of the 

 central states plantings may be made as 

 late as June li5. Where clover or grass 

 has winterkilled, the soy bean may be 

 planted to good advantage. The de- 

 partment tells farmers considerable 

 quantities of seeds still are available 

 for planting, but the trade understands 

 the market is bare. 



IT IS NOT A WARRANTY. 



The U. S. Department of Agriculture 

 makes the following announcement re- 

 garding the recent meeting of seeds- 

 men at Wasliingtou: 



' ' With a view to devising some prac- 

 tical means for furnishing the farmer 

 essential information concerning the 

 commercial seeds he is buying, the Sec- 

 retary of Agriculture recently invited 

 representatives of the seed trade to 

 confer with the department on the sub- 

 ject. 



"OflScers of the American Seed Trade 

 Association and of the Wholesale Grass 

 Seed Dealers' Association, as well as 

 representatives of twenty-one leading 

 seed firms, were present. 



' ' Because of the vital importance of 

 the matter in relation to the effort to 

 enlarge the production of staple food 

 and feed crops, the department sug- 

 gested that the seed trade voluntarily 

 furnish the following information with 

 the field crop seeds thoy sell: 



(1) Name of scfdsninii. 

 (LM Kind of seed. 



(3) I'roportion of pure live seed present, with 

 muntli and year of germination test. 



(4) Country or locality of origin in the ease of 

 tlie foIldwiiiK imported seeds: Beans, soy beans, 

 Tiirkestiui alfalfa, and red clover from southern 

 Kiirope and Chile. 



"Tlie representatives of the sc j. 

 trade present agreed to adopt these 

 suggestions with reference to their own 

 business, and the officers of the associa- 

 tions represented agreed to recommend 

 that these suggestions be adopted by 

 all firms included in their membership. 

 The question of such adoption is now 

 being submitted to individual seedsmen
