at the Texas-Oklahoma line until it 

 reaches the Oklahoma-Kansas line 

 twenty-five days elapse. The distance 

 from one state line to the other is 

 about 220 miles. Planting, therefore, 

 moves northward through Oklahoma at 

 the rate o-f nine miles a day. The rate 

 of progress through Kansas is ten 

 miles; through Nebraska, nineteen 

 miles; through South Dakota, fifty 

 miles, and through North Dakota, forty- 

 four miles per day." 



The soil temperature at which corn 

 germinates has been ascertained by 

 numerous tests in field and laboratory. 

 The air temperature at which corn 

 planting takes, place in actual practice, 

 however, has not heretofore been estab- 

 lished, but from data assembled in this 

 bulletin it is believed to be approxi- 

 mately 55 degrees. Air temperature 

 records at corn planting time in the 

 vicinity of 127 cities east of the Bocky 

 Mountains are given in tabular form. 



THE SEED SHOBTAGE. 



Seedsmen all over the world have 

 been talking of the short seed crops 

 for so long that it is an old story, yet 

 crop talk always is news, no matter 

 how well the facts may be understood, 

 and is read with interest. The follow- 

 ing is from a trade letter sent out by 

 Watkins & Simpson, London: 



"We should like to give our cus- 

 tomers a few facts concerning the ab- 

 normal season from which we have all 

 suffered, on account of the continued 

 drought and scorching sun of last spring 

 and summer. Although everybody has 

 been more or less affected by the lack 

 of moisture and excessive heat, we 

 doubt if many have yet realized the 

 universal shortage of the seed crops 

 over the whole of Europe and America, 

 with perhaps the exception of Den- 

 mark. This is the third season in suc- 

 cession of short seed crops over prac- 

 tically the whole of the world, and as 

 a result the stocks of seeds on hand 

 today are the smallest the trade has 

 ever known. It has been impossible 

 to estimate the yields of our crops. We 

 have expected little, but we are realiz- 

 ing much less after harvesting. It has 

 been, and is, a most disappointing and
