HOLLAND'S SEED TRADE. 



Tlie e.\[)ort seed trade of the Nether- 

 l.iiid- >eeiiis to be in a most unsatisfac- 

 tory state. r<'ports Consul General 

 (Icorm' !•;. Anderson from Kotterdain. 

 The acreage under cultivation in seed 

 ]irodu<tion this year is far smaller than 

 tli.'it of a year ago as a result of the 

 great slump in prices in 1920. This 

 slum]! was due mostly to the inability 

 of fierniany and Austria to buy their 

 Usual su])plies. As a result of the fall- 

 ing off in demand last year, consider- 

 able stocks were accumulated. 



The e.xport of seeds to all countries 

 so f:ir this year has amounted to only 

 fifty per cent of the shijunents in the 

 same period of 1920. On tlie other liand, 

 the exjiorts of the principal seeds to the 

 United States has increased niaterially.

The export of car.away seed fell from 

 a value of over TjOU.UKO guilders ( 1 

 guilder =- $0.4L* at normal exchange) in 

 the first live months of 1920 to half 

 that value in the same months of the 

 current year, while exports to the 

 I'liited Rtates increased from a value 

 of .1i24,r,70 to a value of .$47,36:i. Kx- 

 portation of other seeds to the United 

 States has increased projiortionately. 

 There have been increased exjiorts of 

 grass seed, of which the United States 

 received a large share, and of linseed. 

 There was a large increase in shijiments 

 of sugar beet seed, nearly all of which 

 went to the United States. Most of the 

 garden seeds exported showed material 

 decreases.
