The Famine in Seeds.
, the Boston Transcript

rom the Boston transcript
Many people will be surprised this
spring, when they receive their seed cata-
logues, TO note the high prices which they
must pay TO" garden or flower seeds. For
there is veritable seed famine. At no
time since the civil war have prices been
so high. Peas. for instance, which usu-
ally bring So bushel in England, are
now quoted at $50. Carrot seed, which
usually sells for % cents a quart, now
sells at 50 In England. OF beet seed there
was no crop last year. Grass seed sells
at three times the usual price. And so it
Is through the whole list. In fact, the
scarcity of seeds has been such that
many growers are selling their seed stock
rather than plant and run the risk of
crop failure.
High prices Of seeds. however, cannot
be charged up to any combination of
dealers. The shortage of the crops has
Deen due to a succession of floods and
droughts in the last six or seven years,
And even where seed raisers have been
fortunate enough to escape these there
has been, for some unaccountable reason,
failure in the crop. The gardener who
grows peas expects to get many times the
number of peas he plants The seed
grower, VINO SOWS peas broadcast, eX-
poets to get some seven times his sowing
Yet last year the seed grower, as a rule
got only three times his crop, and many
or the growers of beet seed did not even
get their seed back.

obtain the services of more able and effi-
Gent teachers than at present-teachers
who would devote their lives to the pro-
fession. and not make it merely q transit
tory occupation and a stepping stone to

nuated teachers who have devoted all
their working years to the schools, and
to replace them with younger and more
