nestly the end of the present situation, 

 which is principally caused by the re- 

 sistance of Germany to fulfill the 

 clauses of the Versailles treaty. The 

 1921-22 season is nearly finished, and 

 we do not think it ends with important 

 stocks of old seeds. The purchases 

 jnade by the government of the Russian 

 Soviets have cleared the market." 



THE SEED TBADE AND THE STATE. 



Their Codrdiiia.ting Relations. 



The seed trade and the state have 

 been comparative strangers until re- 

 centl.v, but these two organizations will 

 "hereafter be on sufficiently friendly 

 terms to come to an understanding 

 before they come to blows. It has been 

 the fixed policy of the commissioner and 

 board of agriculture so to execute tlie 

 North Carolina state seed law as to 

 protect both farmers and seedsmen and 

 to enlighten these parties regarding their 

 several liabilities to each other. 



In considering the crop, a better idea 

 of the relative importance of a perfect 

 stand can be had by a simple calcula- 

 tion of the possible yield of corn from an 

 acre on which each hill of corn produces 

 a good stalk with a good ear. A ])iece 

 of land 210 feet square contains about 

 one acre. If the corn is planted eighteen 

 inches apart and in rows three feet apart, 

 there will be 9,800 hills to the acre. If 

 each hill produces a 'stalk with a good 

 ear, there will be 9,800 good ears to the 

 acre. There are a number of causes that 

 may operate to reduce tlie stand to one- 

 half or two-thirds normal, but among 

 the leading causes must be reckoned 

 that of poor seeds that either fail to 

 sprout, or, sprouting, fail to come up 

 and grow into a vigorous stalk ca])able 

 of producing a good, well matured car. 

 Suppose the seed corn planted had forty 

 grains out of every hundred that would 

 not come up, or that the seed corn 

 showed only sixty per cent germination. 

 This low germination would at once re-
