section, doing considerable damage, but 

 believe crops will recover somewhat and 

 make a part crop. Also, local hail storms 

 have occurred in some outside points. 



' * We have not as yet received complete 

 reports from outside sections, but those 

 received indicate very fair crops, with 

 possibly the exception of muskmelons. 

 Also, some reports on winter squash varie- 

 ties and few items of pumpkins are not 

 as promising as we could wish for. Cu- 

 cumber crops as a rule are doing nicely, 

 but some varieties will probably be in 

 short supply on account of hail damage. 

 Sweet and field corn crops are in promis- 

 ing condition." 



DANISH ROOT SEEDS. 



Formerly the root seeds used in Den- 

 mark were imported from Scotland and 

 Germany, but by experiment it was soon 

 found that excellent conditions for the 

 production of these seeds were at hand 

 in Denmark. As this Danish raised seed 

 proved to give good results, the industry 

 made solid progress. 



The government is supporting this 

 industry by directing a competition 

 among the most efficient growers, and by 

 <3oing 80 a constant improvement of 

 quality is not merely obtained, but also 

 a rational control of the stocks. Those

growers whose stocks prove to have at- 

 tained the highest refinement and are 

 yielding the most valuable clear profit 

 are awarded first-class certificates by 

 the government. Every second year a 

 competition at the government's experi- 

 ment station is thrown open, and to re- 

 tain the certificate "First-class stock," 

 the grower must work forward on the re- 

 finement of his stock, else he may be dis- 

 tanced at the following competition by 

 some other grower, who will then obtain 

 the certificate of first class. 



Danish growers assert that in compara- 

 tive trials of this seed and of German, 

 Scottish and English seeds, the Danish 

 seed of first class shows up in a most 

 satisfactory manner, not only with re-

gard to its typical form and smoothness, 

 but also on account of its high per- 

 centage of dry stuff (nutritive sub- 

 stance) and by being free from stock- 

 runners. The government's experiments 

 have proved that a first-class stock of 

 Danish seed gives an extra profit of 

 about 50 kroner per Danish acre.
