PROFIT IN RAISING
HIGH GRADE SEEDS
An Ever-lncreasing Demand for
Sweet Corn, Garden Peas and
Beans of Good Quality.

A letter sent from the u. s. depart
ment of agriculture. division OF publi-
cations will be OF considerable inter-
est to those who follow in any degree
the raising of high grade seed.
Concerning sweet corn. garden peas
and beans 1t states there is much
profit In the raising OF high grade
seed.
Seed crops OF sweet corn, garden
peas and beans Of good quality are In
ever-increasing demand and the guam
tity needed yearly has become so
large that the seedman Is obliged to
have the major portion OF his stock
grown for him by others.
Within the past few years there
has been an enormous Increase In the
quantity Of seeds produced for com
fnercial purposes.
This has been duo. in a large
measure. to the development OF seed
growing and its handling as bust
ness in the United States.
"One of the largest OF these busi
nesses uses buildings with an aggre
gate floor space OF more than 16 acres.
This space is much larger than was
occupied by the entire seed trade Of
the country only so years ago.
THE quality also has vastly i'm
proved. One of the most encouraging
developments in the growing OF gar
den vegetables is the increasing recog-
milton of the practical Importance Of
using pure and uniform stocks Of
seed whose varietal characteristics
adapt them to distinct local conditions
and market requirements.
Another consideration is the fact
that the growing Of seed crops Of
these vegetables can be undertaken
withbut any radical change In farm
practice or material increase in farm
equipment
"Theee conditions make the indus
try well worth the attention OF far
mers who are located where soil and
climatic conditions are favorable for
the best development OF such seeds.
However. the raising OF these veg.
etables for seed crops is not recon-
mended for all circumstances, even
when soil and climate are suitable.
THE farmer who contemplates un-
dertaking seed crop farming will do
well to consider thoroughly the many
elements which enter into profits.
Seedmen are often able to place
contracts for growing seed at very low
prices-even lower than that at which
grain of the species can be sold on
the market.
Such condition might be due to
any OF several causes. but usually
rests on an over-supply or a demand
for an inferior product
The general tendency now, however.
Is decidedly in the other direction. and
both seed dealers and seed growers
can do much by cooperation to furth-
er this tendency.
Dealers should not buy by sample.
no matter how good the sample nay
be, but should endeavor to limit his
supply to seed which he knows was
grown from pure and true stock seed
and. as far as possible. to that which
was subject. while growing to his own
inspection.
