HASKIN LETTER
AMERICAN GROWN SEEDS
Bv FREDERIC ]. HASKIN

Washington, Jan. 26-American spin
ach, cabbage and beans for America is
the new order Of things. For the first
time In its history, the United States has
becom" self-suporting in so far as farm
and garden seeds are concerned
When France and Belgium stopped
raising seed and went to war. and when
Holland and Denmark began the hopeless
struggle against war shipping conditions,
the United States suddenly realized that
its most important source Of forage,
field and vegetable seed was effectually
cut off for nobody knew how many years
or months. The scarcity Of seed raised
the market price; the high price induced
greater production: and the result was
that a pending calamity resolved itself
into a benefit.
Bermuda onion seed are now raised
in California; sugar beet seed formerly
imported from Germany. have become an
American product; Sudan grass is raised
In Kansas. Every section Of the couD-
try IS engaged in some line of seed pro
duction with California and the land Of
the Rockies ID the lead. In fact, seed
/ raising on national scale is one of the
American war industries. Unlike most
Of the wa projects, il Is going 70 be still
greater as a peace industry.
Proof of the United States progress

The fact that it has shipped millions of
pounds oi seed tn Europe during the last
| years of war, and this in spite of the fact
| that W. had to provide almost the entire

/ professional and the amateur war gard
4 encr European farmers who could not

/ quirements of Europe now Will be even

One reason for this apparent waste OF
transportation is that a certain type of
