OF SEED
JUMPS loo PCT.

WASHINGTON. d. CA steady
rise in prices of grass and forage
seeds since last fall has been ac-
mitted by the Bureau of Agricul-
ural Economics. This increase
amounts in some cases to 100 per
cent.
At the same time prices paid to
farmers for their products have
Increased since last December only
six per cent. This figure is taken
from statistics on wholesale prices
published by he U. S. Department
of Labor.
While supplies of many grass
and forage seeds are below normal,
stocks of KeTtucky, bluegrass and
redtop are twice the usual amount,
due to the large carryover from
previous years.
This heavy rise in seed prices
materially increases the farmers
cost of production. The much
slower increase in prices paid BY
farmers leaves him at the dirty
end of he stick.
