Prices of Grass,
Legume Seed May
Give Farmers Shock

If you have tried to buy grass and
legume seeds this spring, you
probably got a shock when the
dealer quoted you prices. or may
be he told you he didn't have the
varieties you wanted at any price.
Short supplies and high prices
pretty well summarizes the grass
and legume seed situation this
spring, according to Joe New
conner Extension Service seed spe-
cialist in the University of Mary
land agronomy department
He says the supply of red clover
and alsike clover is the shortest in
years, amounting to about 80 per-
cent of the 1O-year average from
1943 to 1852 AS a result, prices are
about double those of last year
Prices of alfalfa and white clover
seed have also taken big jump
over last year.
Although the supply of lespedeza
and ladino clover seed is short,
these seeds are selling for about
the same prices as last year. Seed
of Rowan lespedeza is not availa-
BILE. and there may be some diff
Guilty finding Climax lespedeza
seed
Seed supplies for practically all
of the grasses widely grown in
Maryland are short. Orchard grass
and timothy seed are being shipped
in from outside the country and
this seed is not of the best adapted
strains.
Last years harvest of Redtop
was the smallest ever recorded, and
the price is higher than last year
The crop of Kentucky 81 fescue
was also short, but orders are be-
ing filled from Commodity Credit
stock and prices are only few
cents above last year.
Supplies of Kentucky bluegrass
are not as critical as for most
grass seed, but lower than 954.
The 1854 crop of seed corn APP
pears to be good" Newcomer says,
but there was a lot of seed corn
left over after the 1854 planting
season and some of this old seed is
on the market
Farmers should be careful
about buying carry-over corn seed.
termination may be low in old
seed. If the seed was tested for
termination more than nine months
before the date Of purchase. it is
illegal to offer the seed for sale in
Maryland according to the State
Seed Law
termination should be 80 per
cent or better, or there will be poor
stands. A farmer should read the
seed tag so he will know what he
is buying.

Along The Potomac
With Your Congressman
DEWITT S. HYDE

One of the interesting aspects OF
serving a Congressional District is
the discovery of the many indirect
ways in which matters of impOr-
lance to a District can be brought
to the attention of the laWmaking
body. Two such instances are of
importance to the 9th Maryland
District
1t was my good fortune to appear
as a witness before the Senate sub
committee on unemployment and
to present two problems which af-
feet Western Maryland, and | may
add other parts of the country. Dur
ing my testimony before the sub
committee on unemployment
learned the group is sympathetic
to the problems Of the coal indus
try.
The committees attention was di-
rected toward the problem Of the
runaway plant" And in particular
those plants which have moved
from an area such as we have in
Western Maryland to foreign cOun-
tries in search of cheap labor
asked that the subcommittee look
into these industries with a view to
learning what advantages they are
taking of our present import legis-
lation.
l also appeared before a House
Appropriation subcommittee to
urge the appropriation of funds for
a study of Washington and the
metropolitan area transportation
problems to be carried out by the
planning authorities of Maryland,
the District and Virginia. | have re-
quested the language of the grant
of funds be so Worded as to require
report by January 4, 1856, on my
proposal of one commission regu-
latory body to regulate transit
throughout the area
During the discussions of a pro-
posal to tax the earned income Of
persons who work in the District of
Columbia but reside elsewhere
had the opportunity Of plainly
stating my opposition to such a tax.
| have suggested to District of
ficials ways and means of further
exploring present areas of taxation
before they undertake new tax ven
lures.

It shall be the duty of the Treasurer to enforce
the payment of all taxes remaining unpaid the first

ton should not be enforced your property during
