CALIFORNIA SEED NOTES. 



Up to the middle of February the seed 

 districts of the Santa Clara valley have 

 had about fifteen or sixteen inches of 

 rain. About the same amount has fallen 

 in southern California. While this 

 amount of rain is satisfactory as far as 

 the season is advanced, we must still get 

 several inches more to make a crop. It 

 is the late spring rains that count the 

 most in the making of a big yield. 



As far as the present crop is con- 

 cerned, it is a little early in the season 

 to make any prophecy as to yields. Still, 

 everytliing 'looks, weil. As a whole the

fall rains coming rather late, 

 good, warm spring weather no 

 everything will catch up. 



There seems to be about the 

 acreage this season, some of the 

 ers adding to their acreage somewhat, 

 but as a whole the increase will not 

 amount to over ten per cent. 



The trade has been taught a lesson in 

 placing the contracts early in the season. 

 Last fall the harvest proved short on 

 many items. This was especially true of 

 the onion seed crop. Many of the grow- 

 ers are already contracted for their full 

 acreage as far as onion is concerned, 

 the high prices being hard to resist. 



to the value of $3,347,024, as against 

 $2,257,085 in 1904. 



At the same time we imported seeds 

 to the total for 1905 of $4,207,739, as 

 against $3,394,094 for the year 1904. 



EXPORTS AND IMPORTS.

 States exported grass and other seeds
