 rain and cloudy weatlier will have a

 there will be no noticeable snrpbis in

CAN GEOW SUGAR BEET SEED. 



I'^rom present indications the acreage 

 devoted to growing sugar beet seed m 

 the United States this season will be 

 somewhat less than last year, in the 

 (ipiiiion of spe<dalists of the I'nited 

 States ]">ei)artinent of Agriculture. The 

 canses are: I'irsl. the drop in the price 

 of sugar ha.s caused some sugar com 

 p.anies which grow beet seed to eurtad 

 their expenses, .and one way is to elim 

 male or reiliice the production of sugar 

 b.'ct s.'ed; second, the seed has become 

 iiKire abmidanl ;md more e.asilv obtain- 

 ■iMe from Kiiropeaii count lies than it 

 w.is during the war and immediately 

 Ihereaft.'r; third, while the price of 

 imported seed is still Jr<nii two to thri'e 

 times as high as t h.> prewar price, it 

 is greatly reduced as eomiiared with the 

 ])rice of this commodity during the war; 

 foiirtli, the cost of jiroducing American 

 sugar lieet seed under normal conditions 

 is higher than the cost of seed imiiorted 

 Iroin ]'>iiropean countries. 



However, the exiterii-nce of .\meri- 

 c;in growers the last few years, the sjje- 

 cialists say. has demonstrated that 

 siig.-ir beet seed can Vie )>roduced in this 

 i-ountry comparal)le, in regani to qual- 

 ity, with imported seed and in some re- 

 si'ieets. especially with reference to ger- 

 minating qualities, the American-grown 

 seed has generally surpassed the best 

 imjiorted seed.
