Total production of vegetable seed, with the exception of cabbage, lettuce, salsify, and turnip, will be ample for the needs of the coming year, according to /the preliminary returns from the seed-production survey of July 1, 1918. and crop reports from Important commercial seed growers. In some cases where the condition of crops is 9 ps»t satisfactory increased acreage’s are, expected to bring the total production up to normal, while more than normal production of seed is Indicated for some kinds of vegetables. This condition, it is pointed out, does not necessarily mean a large surplus, for it is known that large orders have been placed for certain vegetable seeds by foreign concerns for export to countries in Europe which formerly'have been exporters of these seeds to the United States.
