Farmers Cautioned
i On Origin of Alfalfa j
And Red Clover Seed
A caution to farmers to "know,
the origin of thfe alfalfa and red
clover seed purchased this year" j
W3js issued today by the Bureau
of Agricultural Economics.
The Bureau said "there is need
i
for extreme caution because of
I the short supply of adapted seed |
both alfalfa and red clover and
jthe wide differential in price be
j tween unadapted and adapted
j seed." !
It was stated that the carry
over of alfalfa s:ed was very
small, that production in the
Northern and Central States thie
year was much below average,
but that production in the South
west was above average.
The Bureau said that much un
adapted southern alfa'fa sl_td will
probably be shipped to Northren
states?, some of it correctly ren
' remJjtned as to origin, and some
j misrepresented as to origin. Be
cause of the relatively lo\y price
of this unadapted a;ed, it was
stated that "many retailers, ship
pers, truckers, and others will use
eMdry possible ruse to paes off
aouhtk-rn alfalfa seed for north
ern seed." Though some southern
produced alfalfa seed may suc-
I
cessfully go through mild winters
Ift the Northern St»te«, it Was
pointed out that the southern
seed is not sufficiently hardy to
I withstand the usual severe win.
■it.tr weather in most northern
afeas.
Farmers were advised that
I "alfalfa seed obtained from
gritwers and shippers shpuld be
I fully indentifcd as to locality of
production, and blends containing
any portion of unadapted seed
should be avoided so far 'as pos
sible."
It waa pointed out that public
agencies pilovide information re
garding the origin at seeds n two
ways. Many states certfy seed,
and their certification shows the
variety and locality where grown
as well as other information. The
Bureau of Agricultural Econom
ics maintains a
'MflftVke under which veHiWP
a« attached td Ms&
which indicate l n Wfcfet
MtWDu.t., th. «xd
Seed verified as to ortgfoi
-by the tfareau is not 4s
to varfyty or germination, tot
the verification sets up certain
minimum standards of quality
covering such factors a* germin
ation, puittty, and noxious-weed
seed content
j As for red-clovier seed, the
yry-over is "very small", pro
duction is much below the less
than-average production of last
year prices of domestic aaed are
high,, to{Ported beed ps much
Hower priced, and the supply of
| adapted domestic a;ed is insuf
ficient to meet normal require
ments, the Bureau reported. A»
with olfla'fa, buyers of domestic
red-clover seed may be protected
(by obtaining known-origin seed.

REYNOLDS ON
PACIFIC COAST
JUNIOR N. c- SENATOR GETS •
A NEW SLANT ON THE '
PROBLEMS CONFRONTING
NORTH CAROLINA. '
I
EDITOR'S NOTE: Senator i
Reynolds' column for this week
comes from Portland, Orega. j;
where the Senator visited the
Northwest on a trip combining a 1
I
survey of naional conditions with
.1 brief vacation, prior to return
ing to Washington.
From the Pacific coast, after
I
traversing a dozen states and
talking with countless hundredsj
of people, a n individual gets a
better appreciation of national
problems and conditions confront-
ing our people. There is much
advantage in looking at America
from a n area devoted to develop- j
ment of natural r?sourcc9, rather j
than viewing it from the indust
rial East. . This is ajl the more
(true when (the individual is con-|
I cerned v/itli". the welfare of a part
icular state in an industrial a r -a
| A Tar Heel buying a package of |
lof cigarettes in Oregon sees it in
new tenns. There comes the real
|izatio n that if the cigarettes are]
'made in North Carolina, the state
is definitely linked with thu '
package, creates a desire for;
great numbers of people to see
where cigarettes are made.
Equally important, ip is j
realized that the conditions un
jder which the cigarettes are sold
'and the taxes paid by purchasers
jvitually affect the wages of fac
'tory worker? in North Carolina
and the price the farmer secures
I for his tobacco. Few get this per
; spective when they casually pur
chase a package of cigarettes at
home.
> |
The same holds true of other
I' things manufactured in North
i Ca r olirta, towejs, furniture,blank
ets, cotton and rayon products
and it also holds true of agricul
tural commodities grown in the
ri
state.
II
It is necessary in this day of
4 I
great industrialisation that those
concerned with legislative pro
' grams have a better understand
' ing of marketing conditions fend
tax systems. It is gained through
first-hand information. No long,
er are states and communities
,!
self-sufficient- "Buy at home"
campaigns are fine things, but if
1 the sale of North Carolina pro
ducts did not extend throughout
jthe world and those vitally con
j oerned did not know the condi-
I b'on9 under which they are sold
[and how they can be met, our
(workers and farmers wtould suffer
[lgreatly curtailed income. '
[| The broad program to advertise;
.land develop North Carolina, now]
j attracting attention even out (

. jdence that we live in an area of

North Carolina, perhaps
more than any other
Southern state, has become
I ail-American. Its people have the
vision and energy of the West,
I I the traditions of the South, the
Ip rb gross ivenesa of the East and
the industrial interest of the
North. It explains why North
Carolina has forged impidly ahead
due to its diversified fields of in
dustry, agrifulture and com
merce.
Those concerned with legislat
ion recall that a proposal to use
cotton for manufacturing sacks
largely used for potatoes,
i through a higher ta r iff on cheap
imports now used for that pur
pose, was defeated because it
I would raise the cost of bags to
potato growers in the West. The
advantage that would accure to
the South w»s ignored by those
'primarily conoerned with the wel
j fare of the West. It offers an ex-
I ample of the complexity of na-
I tional problems and the need for
1
j better corolation ofooru r national
fields of endeavor.
Understanding df these corvii
tions is the sure road to correct
ion, through national and state
cooperation, of many «vil 3 in our
j economic system.
