Old Seeds May Be Used To Meet
Present Shortage H.

That present scarcity of farm seeds
will cause many lots Of! old seeds to
be used in 1885 is the opinion of For
rest S. Holmes, who is in charge Of the
Seed Laboratory of the Maryland Ex-
pertinent Station. There is no objec-
ton to using these, he states, provided
the plant producing capacity of such
lots of seed is determined just before
they are to be planted and sufficient
amount of the seed is<ased to give a
proper stand of plants.
There is no general rule, Mr.. Holmes
declares, as to how old seed may be
and still be suitable for planting. Seed
of one harvest may retain its Vitality
much longer than seed Of the same
kind of another harvest. Different lots
of seed Of the same harvest will vary
in retention of their vitality, depend
ing upon the condition under which
they have been stored. The only de-
pendable information as to whether a
lot Of seeds too old. TO plant, it is
emphasized, must come from ger
mination test. Such d: test, together
with other information determined in
the seed laboratory is essential to
show the plant producing capacity of
seed. "'.itri', He
1t is pointed out by Mr. Holmes
that farm seeds can be used economi-
cally only when their plant producing
capacity is known. AS an example, he
cites case in which eight pounds of
seed from one lot will give as many
plants in the soil as ten pounds of
seed from another lot. Obviously, he
says, it is uneconomical to plant the
two lots of seed at the same rate. That
surprisingly wide variations occur
between the plant producing capacity
of different lots of seeds is shown by
results of the Maryland Seed Labora-
tory. A preliminary study of 566 sam
pies of red clover seed being sold in
Maryland during the six-year period
from 1928 to 1888 shows that in order
to secure the number of red clover
plants required for a good stand these
samples would have to be used at rates
varying from six pounds Of seed per
acre to forty-fve pounds per acre.
1t is likely, in the opinion Of Mr..
Holmes, that wider than usual varia-
ton will exist this year in seeds Of
fered for sale or considered for plant
ing. For that reason, it is exceptional
