THE FIELD SEED SITUATION 
The combined production of Alfalfa, Clover, Les- 
pedeza and Timothy seed in 1940 was practically the same 
as in 1939. At the same time prices on all these items are 
lower than they were last year. With no major changes 
i in the Soil Conservation Program and with

‘in a reasonably healthy condition, 
we can expect as good or better a demand for clover and 
The demand 
was held back last year on account of very unfavorable 
grass seeds than we experienced last year.

of the Spring. A repetition of this condition can hardly 
be expected. 
wh grasses, except imported items, such as Poa 
and White Dutch Clover, are also as low or lower

rban areas is expected to continue unabated through- 
it 1941, meaning an increased demand for lawn seeds.

WHOLESALE GARDEN SEED PRICE LISTS. 


VEGETABLE SEED SUPPLY IS 
SHORT, SAYS DR. PAUL WORK 
The supply of vegetable seed for planting 
in 1941 is materially reduced, more for some 
kinds than for others, says Professor Paul 
Work of the department of vegetable crops 
at Cornell University. 
Cauliflower, spinach, carrots, onions, 
and radishes are the ones most seriously 
affected, and prices of these have advanced 
from 50 to 200 per cent compared with last 
year, he says. 
“War in Europe, with imports cut off, 
and poor seed crops in the United States 
have caused the shortages. Increased ex- 
port demand has helped to lift prices. No 
great increases in prices of peas, beans, 
sweet corn, cabbage, tomatoes, and the 
vine crops have yet been noted, but they 
may come later. However,’’ Professor Work 
said, ‘‘the price of seed is only a small part 
of the cost of growing most vegetable crops.”’ 
“This country has usually obtained from 
Europe nearly all of its cauliflower seed, 90 
per cent of its spinach, and from 385 to 45 
per cent of the seeds of cabbage, radish, 
beet, onion, turnip, and rutabaga. The re- 
mainder is normally grown in the United 
States, and of course hold-over stocks are 
important.’’ 
Vegetable growers, therefore, face a 
scarcity of several kinds of seeds and in- 
creased prices for many, he points out. The 
srowers are urged to buy early and to watch 
quality closely, both as to germination and 
type. The best strains are likely to be taken 
first, and seedsmen say they will take care 
of their regular customers mo come early. 
Seed users will do well to test seed for 
germination, especially if it has been held 
for a year or two, Professor Work Says. 
Special measures will help to get the most 
plants from a given amount of seed. 
“In seed beds, thin sowing will yield a 
greater proportion of good plants, Careful 
preparation of seed beds, careful covering, 
use of water as needed, and full protection 
against insects and diseases will all help. 
Seed treatments are thus especially im- 
portant.”’ ’ 
“While shortages are serious, there is no 
occasion for excitement or panic. Buy 
judiciously and use seed carefully,”’ is his 
advice. oor. s : 
“As to the future, this country can 
probably produce all it needs. There may 
be some adjustments, some inconveniences, 
we 
and some price increases, but no grave 
threat exists of a serious cut-off of supplies."*
