that the acreage is only twenty per cent 

 of 1920. Based on the present fair con- 

 ilition of the crop, the yield per acre 

 is expected to be 200 to 2.j0 pounds, com- 

 pared with 340 pounds last year. 



Parsnip and parsley. — The acreage of 

 parsnip is reduced one-half and that 

 of parsley two-thirds from 1920. The 

 condition of these crops is below nor- 

 inal, but yields per acre equal to last 

 year are in prospect. 



Radish. — The present condition of the 

 radish seed crop in California forecasts 

 ^ yield per acre of 300 to 600 pounds 

 on an acreage about fifty per cent of 

 last year. About the same reduction is

 fair condition of the crop indicates an 

 average yield per acre of around 300 

 pounds in that district. 



Tomato. — Unfavorable weather con- 

 ditions delayed the transplanting of to- 

 mato plants for seed in southern Cali- 

 fornia, and the crop is late. The plants 

 are growing rapidly under good condi- 

 tions, and a yield per acre equal to last 

 year — 180 pounds — is expected, al- 



though the acreage is reduced nearly 

 one-half. The early tomato seed crop 

 in New Jersey is reported to be normal, 

 while the acreage of the late crop is 

 reduced seventy per cent. 



Turnip. — The acreage of turnip seed, 

 both English and Swede, is reported to
