Farmers Must Exercise Care In Ssy4
Letting Their Clover Seeds
Maryland farmers are urged to exer-
else care in selecting alfalfa and
clover seed for use in 1887 by Forest
S. Holmes, in charge of the State
seed laboratory at the University n
Maryland. He states that supplies or
these seeds for the entire country are
about two-thirds of normal and about
three-fourths as large as last year,
according to reports from the Bureau
Of Agricultural Economics of the U.
S. Department of Agriculture.
Imports of alfalfa and red clover
seeds will be the largest in years, in
the opinion of Mr.. Holmes, and price
differentials between imported seeds
and domestic seeds Of authentic origin
are likely to be wider than usual
He explains that imported alfalfa and
red clover seeds can be distinguished
from domestic seeds by colored frac-
lions of the imported seeds. The colors
used are violet, green, orange-red,
and red. He advises Maryland farmers
against planting imported seeds, as
practically all imported alfalfa and
red clover seed will not give satisfac-
tory results in this State.
The 1896 production of red clover
seed in Maryland is estimated by the
State Crop Reporting Service to be
only one-half that of 1895. Mr.. Holmes
advises farmers to use this seed,
whenever possible. Lighter seedlings
than usual in many lots of seed will
give satisfactory results, he says, if
their plant-producing capacities are
known. He urges Maryland farmers
having homegrown red clover seed
to send samples to the seed laboratory
at College Park for testing. eff this
is done," he says, "our homegrown
seed will plant larger acreage than it
will plant safely if the producing
capacity is unknown" There is no
charge for this service.
Instead of planting red clover seed
that is imported, or of unknown do
nestle origin, Mr.. Holmes believes
that it will be better to plant alsike
clover of a mixture of alsike clover
and alfalfa. He advises buying seed
from dealers who can be dependedupon
to sell only good quality seeds that are
adapted to conditions in this State,
particularly in the case of alfalfa, be-
cause of the danger of getting sed Of
unsuitable origin.
