in some foreign countries. Owing to 

 the dry weather, the meadows were 

 short, pasturage was so scarce that the 

 stock was turned on to the meadows 

 in many cases and hay was so high in 

 price that it was a strong temptation to 

 cut the crop for hay, instead of letting 

 it produce seed. Through a large sec- 

 tion of the country, the seed sown last 

 spring started well, early, but later died 

 out, and the pastures and meadows are 

 bare and will require re-seeding. This 

 is bound to make a considerable demand 

 for seed, in spite of high prices." 



After reviewing the situation with 

 regard to the principal items the cir- 

 cular concludes: "Summing up the 

 whole matter, we believe that owing to 

 shortage of hay and pastures it is going 

 to be absolutely necessary for the farm- 

 ers to sow more seed than usual this 

 spring, in spite of high prices. It would 

 be really foolish for them to wait, as 

 the difference in cost of seed this year 

 compared to an ordinary season, figur- 

 ing it by the acre and not by the bushel, 

 is small, amounting to less than $1. We 

 can not look for low prices on clover, 

 timothy or other seeds, next year, as 

 the old meadows are so badly killed 

 out. It is probable that low values 

 will not be reached again for many 

 years, if ever. Far-seeing farmers will 

 sow clover this spring, and, if they 

 secure a good seed crop will probably 

 realize high prices for same. Winter is 

 holding on so late that the spring sea- 

 son will probably be short; there will 

 be a great rush for seed and it will be 

 almost impossible to fill orders prompt- 

 ly." 



FOBEIGN POTATOES FOE SEED. 



Although home-grown seed potatoes 

 are selling at high prices, foreign- 

 grown potatoes should not be substi- 

 tuted for them, according to a state- 

 ment on the danger to the American 

 potato crop from the use of imported 

 seed-potatoes issued by the Secretary 

 of Agriculture, as follows: 



"Europe has several potato diseases 

 not now known to exist in this country, 

 which, if introduced, might be the 

 means of greatly reducing our annual 

 yield of potatoes. Should these diseases 

 become prevalent throughout the United 

 States the cost of producing future 

 crops might be greatly increased. 



"Do not, therefore, under any cir- 

 cumstances use foreign-grown potatoes 

 for seed, either at the north or at the 

 south. The sorts which are coming to 

 this country at the present time are
