I'^rom present indications the acreage devoted to growing sugar beet seed m the United States this season will be somewhat less than last year, in the (ipiiiion of speei)artinent of Agriculture. The canses are: I'irsl. the drop in the price of sugar caused some sugar com which grow beet seed to eurtad their expenses, .and one way is to elim male or reiliice the production of sugar b.'ct s.'ed; second, the seed has become iiKire abmidanl ;md more obtain- ?iMe from Kiiropeaii count lies than it during the war and immediately Ihereaft.'r; third, while the price of imported seed is still Jr prewar price, it is greatly reduced as eomiiared with the ])rice of this commodity during the war; foiirtli, the cost of jiroducing American sugar lieet seed under normal conditions is higher than the cost of seed imiiorted Iroin ]'>iiropean countries. However, the exiterii-nce of .\meri- c;in growers the last few years, the sjje- cialists say. has demonstrated that beet seed can Vie )>roduced in this i-ountry comparal)le, in regani to qual- ity, with imported seed and in some re- si'ieets. especially with reference to ger- minating qualities, the American-grown seed has generally surpassed the best imjiorted seed.
