_Seeds_ MOVEMENT OF ORCHARD GRASS SEED SLOWER THAN IN 1921 Thrashing Not Yet Completed in Many Sections—Quality This Year Better than Last

The movement of orchard grass seed is even more belated than last year despite the fact that it was harvested earlier. In some sections but little seed had been thrashed up to July 25 and in other sections thrashing operations were in full swing or nearly completed.

As was pointed out in the June 24 issue of WEATHER, CROPS, AND MARKETS, the 1922 crop is much larger than that of last year and sales were somewhat disappointing this spring. These factors along with others have tended to cause dealers to take a passive interest in the crop and refrain from making any but nominal bids for seed held by growers.

MARKET NOT YET MADE.

The market had not become established by July 25, although prices for country-run seed ranging from 75¢ to $1.25 per 100 lbs. were being offered occasionally to growers in the Kentucky, Ohio, and Missouri districts. Thrashing had not progressed sufficiently in Virginia for buyers to become interested in the seed that was harvested in that State.

The quality of the 1922 crop in practically all districts is considered to be better than last year. The carryover of old seed by growers, particularly in the Ohio and Virginia districts, seems to be somewhat larger than usual. No orchard grass seed was permitted entry under the seed importation act during June and July.

Meadow Fescue Seed Prices Decline During Past Two Weeks.

A normal movement of the 1922 crop of meadow fescue seed has occurred since thrashing began about June 30, and it is estimated that approximately 55% of the crop has already been sold by growers. In the opinion of country buyers and others this year’s crop of recleaned seed will be about twice as large as that of last year.

The quality is considered to be much better not only because of favorable weather during the growing season and at harvest time but also because growers exercised more care in the selection of their seed for sowing. During recent years the shrinkage in recleaning the crop has been unusually heavy, resulting in considerable loss to the growers.

Prices to growers declined 2¢ or 3¢ during the two weeks prior to July 25. Only about 4¢ per lb. for recleaned seed was being paid on that date, and there were not many buyers even at that price.

=A new variety of the Rose potato=, called the Early Norther Rose, was planted in the Charleston section of South Carolina this spring. It resembles the Spaulding Rose, but is a little longer and thicker than that variety. The average yield was 80‒90 bbls. per acre.

MOVEMENT OF KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS SEED BELOW NORMAL Growers in Kentucky Have Pooled Much of Their Seed——Quality Better than Last Year.

The 1922 crop of Kentucky blue grass seed is not being sold so freely by growers in Kentucky and Missouri as was the crop last year. In some important stripping areas in Kentucky where the crop is large, less than 5% had moved from growers’ hands by July 25. In other sections of Kentucky approximately 25% had been sold but the bulk of the crop has been pooled in the expectancy of higher prices later. Although in the vicinity of one or two important shipping points in Missouri 60% or more of the crop is reported to have been sold by growers, in most of the other sections only 10%‒15% has been sold.

Prices prevailing about July 25 were much lower than last year, being mostly $1.25‒$1.50 per bu. for rough, cured seed compared with $2‒$2.50 last year. Little or no change occurred in prices offered to growers during the last two weeks of July.

The quality of the seed in Kentucky and Missouri is much better than it was last year and undoubtedly will shrink less in cleaning.

The production of the 1922 crop was covered fully in the June 17 issue of this publication.

WEEKLY FEED TRADE REVIEW.

(Concluded from page 115.)

was fair: Embargoes against outbound shipping in a few western markets kept business within narrow limits. Stocks generally were in excess of the demand.

Southwestern markets reported a good demand for shorts from the South and Southeast and an improved inquiry for bran was noted from Pacific coast markets. Large stocks of wheat feeds, mostly bought at higher levels, are being carried at western lake ports, and railroads are not accepting any more shipments to be held at lake ports, claiming that all available space is occupied.

_Cottonseed meal and cake._—Increased offerings of new crop cottonseed cake and meal gave the market an unsettled tone and although a fair demand was noted in the East the premiums of old crop over the new crop cake and meal were sharply lowered. Prices for October shipment stuff ruled about $5 per ton lower than spot offerings in most markets. Pressure of new crop offers for deferred shipment tended to check buying. A small volume of business on the basis of $40 at Kansas City for 43% stock was noted, but buyers generally were hesitant in taking hold. Old crop stocks at mills continue in excess of what they were last year. The export inquiry was light. The movement was small.

_Linseed meal and cake._—Production of linseed meal and cake was light. Prices held steady, but showed a rather wide range, mill offerings being at 50¢-$1 per ton less than was asked by jobbers. Stocks were fair. The demand both for export and domestic consumption was poor. Crushers expect increased production during September and October but little improvement in the output is expected during August. Receipts and movement were light.

GLUTEN FEED DEMAND QUIET.

_Gluten feed._—The demand for gluten feed was quiet. Dealers reported sales as slow, and as a result a few mills experienced difficulty in obtaining shipping instructions for goods bought for July shipment. Although corn prices were lower and No. 2 Yellow was quoted on the basis of about $22 Chicago, gluten feed for August shipment was advanced $1 per ton over the July price to $29.85 per ton Chicago. Production was normal and the movement was good. Supplies were rather large in the Northeast, and moderate in other sections.
