CRIMSON CLOVER SEED SUPPLY. 



There is apparently a larger supply 

 of crimson clover seed on hand at the 

 present time than in any previous year, 

 much of which is of poor quality, ac- 

 cording to specialists of the United 

 States Department of Agriculture. 

 While this would indicate that the 

 price should be normal or less than 

 normal, it is rapidly advancing. 



The greater part of the crimson 

 clover seed sown in the United States 

 is normally imported from France and 

 Austria. In the fall of 1914 conditions 



of trade with Europe were such that 

 there appeared to be danger of a short 

 supply of seed for this summer's plant- 

 ing. The desire of the seed trade to 

 secure as much seed as possible, to- 

 gether with the improvement in trade 

 facilities with France during the win- 

 ter and spring, resulted in the impor- 

 tation of 12,000,000 pounds during the 

 year ending June 30, 1915, as com- 

 pared with 7,500,000 pounds the year 

 previous and 1,500,000 pounds in 1910. 

 The quantities of crimson clover seed 

 imported into the United States in the 

 last few years have been as follows: 



Fiscal vpar. Ponnils. 



1910 l..j.)2.000 



1911 3,529,000 



1912 3,406,00(1 



1913 5,376,000 



1914 7,524,000 



1915 12,036,000 



During May and June much seed of 

 poor quality was imported, more than 

 1,000,000 pounds, made up of several 

 lots, germinating from twenty-nine per 

 cent to sixty-two per ceut. Crimson 

 clover seed of a bright, greenish yel- 

 low color usually germinates well, while 

 a brownish color indicates poor ger- 

 mination.
