It is not generally known that the
United States faces the 'possibility of
famine in its seed supply ' for next
year's planting for many food vege
tables and forage crops. Such ls$he
situation as described the other day
by; two of Ashevllle's seed dealers.
But these crops will be raised for food
in abundance this year.' Though the
snow is yet on the ground-in many
places, city dwellers as well as farm
ers are studying seed catalogues dili
gently or examining the stocks of
their grain dealers; but nobody knows
where the seeds for 1916 will come
from. . . t ' ..
Discussing this state of affairs, L.
R.' Strieker, said: "The demand for
seeds this season is abnormal, and
fortunately, the supply Is all right
for 1915, but the question is, will
we have enough seeds to plant next
year? We depend on Europe for a lot
of seeds. And now practically all the
European countries have placed an
embargo on seeds for forage crops.
Germany is maklag oil from ; vetch
and rape, and she is too busy fighting
to raise for export any seed from the
sugar beet. No crimson clover seed
can be imported this year, nor cau
liflower, carrots, etc. On the other
hand, we are exporting dried peas and
beans by the carload. The price of the
familiar white soup bean has jumped
up to $3.60 and $3.75. With uch a
demand, . large crops of beans will
be raised for food, but there is dan
ger that a very small amount will
be sown for seed."
As to raising its own seeds. Mr.
Strieker said that the United States
has made remarkable progress since
the war between the states. "Up to
that time," he said, "practically ail
our seeds were, imported. Today, Ken
tucky supplies the world with blue
grass and red top clover, while Cali
fornia leads the world in the produc
tion of sweet peas, lettuce, celery and
salsify."
To . the . uninitiated, It is a strange
proposition that a country with the
variety of soil and climate of the
United States has to draw upon dif
ferent parts of the whole world for
garden seeds, for both flowers and
table vegetables. The layman would
say that if land will raise good cab
bage for the table, this same cabbage
would produce good ' cabbage seed.
But the edible stage and the seed
stage are the results of different pro
cesses. , "V
Penrose L. Baldwin was asked to
throw some light on the peculiar be
havior of seeds. - ,
"Seeds and plants are creature of
habit," Mr. Baldwin said, "Just like
people,- though seeds are not quite so
adaptable t environment. The best
cabbage seed, fo rlnstance, came from
Long Island, Now,- Long Island
truckers have grown rich supplying
New York, city with cauliflower, but
they have depended on Germany for
the best cauliflower seed. Erfurt, Ger
many, Is the greatest seed garden city
In the world. It so happens that the
climate and soil of northeast Germany
is tna most favorable in the world
for the production of seeds; that Is,
more good seeds are grown there than
In any other country. Of course, fine
seeds are porduced elsewhere. Cali
fornia supplies the world with sweet
peas, though the original home of
this flower is In England. The onion
seed for the United 'States comes
largely from the Canary islands, and
Michigan produces two thirds of the
small white beans grown in this
country, though the crop Is very un
certain, its success being very de
pendent up on the weather."
When asked about the supply of
seeas ror this season and for 1916,
Mr. Baldwin said that there Is a
shortage In this country now in cer
tain seeds, due to the fact that the
seed end of the crops were neglected

Interesting Historical Lecture

The region of the Louisiana pur

than that ruled over by the emperor
of the French.

It relates the excitement following the

Fields of Usefulness,
The good physician occupies a field
of great usefulness in the world. No
one questions. this, and no one would
think of eliminating him.
It is equally true that the good pro
prietary medicine occupies as wide a
field of usefulness, not only because it
is always most carefully compounded
from the best quality of ingredients,
by the same' processes and by the
same experienced chemists, which
gives it an advantage over the ordi
nary prescription in uniformity of
strength, quality and effect.
Anyone who reads the letters that
voluntarily tell of cures effected by
Hood's Sarsaparllla, even when every
other means of relief, other medi
cines, hospital treatment and physi
cian's prescription have been ex
hausted, cannot but be convinced of
its great value.
The benegt derived from its use for
the diseases and run-down conditions
for which it Is recommended, has been
inestimable in thousands of cases.

Waycross, Ga., Feb. 16. Wayirois
Is not alone In her kick on the reduc
tion in thav Georgia State league's sal
ary limit.' Reports from other mem
bers of the league, notably Valdosla,
indicate that a higher salarv litnit will
have to be passed before the league
can be certain of starting this season.
Every member of the Georgia state is
keen for league baseball, and if the
directors will agree to a player limit
of $75 a month, with $150 fcr the
manager, there is no question of the
league opening on time and enjoying a
successful season.
Thomasvllle has already started
work on the baseball grsumta, and
the park there will be ready for use
after less than a week's work.-
While no names have hee.i given
out, it is known that the local asso
ciation has several youngsters in sight
for the 1915 team, as well as a man
ager. Tjhe fate of baseball in Brunswick
the coming season will be de-.-.ided
soon. Brunswick is practically in the
same position as Valdosta, Waycross
and one or two of the other cities over
the recent reduction in .the-wait ry
limit. It is realized there, also, that to
make a cut In the salary limit of fron,
$1,200 to $700 is almost Impossible,
and, If the limit Is left at that sum, it
looks as if the Georgia league Is a
goner. These cities realize chat It Is
an Impossibility to secure a;lub frr
that amount,' it would be necessury to
The Savage Pike.
There are several instances on record
of bathers being attacked by pike, and
an old writer, Crull, tells of a giant
pike Inside which was found the body
of an infant. Some time ago a good
sized retriever which was swimming
in the Thames was tackled by a pike,
which bit one of its biud legs so badly
as to sever an artery. It was another
Thames pike which attacked that well
known naturalist and fisherman, Mr.
Cholmondeley-Pennell. He had actual
ly landed the fish, when it sprang from
the ground and fixed nil its sharp teeth
into bis leg just above the knee. The
creature hung so fiercely to its hold
that a stick bad to be used to pry Its
jaws apart.
