NATIONAL AND INTERNATION- AL PROBLEMS INSEPARABLE FROM New Seed Verification ly, the purchasing power of the dollar is still materially greater than it was. Farm Income, obviously, is not divided evenly on a per capita basis LOCAL WELFARE. Even as agriculture is dependent on industry to absord the products of the farm, so is the urban United btaies vitally dependent on rural, farming America to provide a gigantic mar ket for the products of its factories everything from pins to motor cars. As a result, it is as important to industry and finance as to agricultural America itself to have some reasonably accurate idea of what farm income in the immediate future will be; what change, if any, has occurred in farm operating costs that would affect net income; what farming states will be most prosperous and so constitute the largest and most profitable market for manufactured recentgoods, etc. Business Week has Inclusive report on ly made a highly "The Farm Market Today and Tomorrow." This will be the best agricultural year, from the point of view of gross income, since booming 1929. This does not mean that the agricultural situation is vastly improved in every lowphase some crops will command er prices and in some states improvement has been relatively slight. But, looking at agriculture as a whole, 1937 should produce the first really good farm market of eight years. The farmers' cash income from crop and livestock marketing is estimated at $4,750,000,000 for the period from August 1 to January 1, 1938, as compared with $4,375,000,000 in the same period a year ago, a gain of about 8 per cent. This figure does not include Federal benefits which will be approximately 10 per cent of the farmers' total cash income and will probably come to almost $200,000,000 as against $138,000,000 in the comparable period of 1936. Consequently, total gross farm cash income will not be far from $5,000,000,000 in the over the fanning states. For example, taking the latest available figures, California, with less than 2 per cent of the country's farm population, last year received 7.58 per cent of the farm income. Iowa, with 3 per cent of the farm population, received 7.43 per cent of farm income. By comparison, Alabama, with almost 4.5 per cent of the farm population, received only 1.35 per cent of the farm income; and West Virginia, with 1.77 per cent of the farm population, got less than .5 per cent of the farm income. Increases in agricultural income for this year will likewise vary widely over the state. Greatest increase in excess of 11 per cent will be found in the Middle Western states such as the Dakotas, Iowa and Kansas These state were the most severely hit by drought. As a result, gains of several hundred per cent may be reg istered in some, Inasmuch as they produced relatively nothing during some of last years' crop seasons. In the Western and Southwestern states, one or two of the Atlantic Seaboard states, and part of the Northeastern group, farm Income is expected to show rises of from 6 per cent to 1 per cent. In Western Call fornia, Western Oregon and Western Washington, parts of a few other states and almost the entire South, improvement will range from 1 per cent to 5 per cent. In a small group of states, there will be declines in farm income of from 1 per cent to 10 per cent. Thus the future of agriculture is bright. Even so, at the next session of Congress there will be a flood of new legislation designed to help the farmer and some of it may pass. Business Week forecasts that punitive crop control legislation will probably become law, and there is always the chance that a more inclusive granary" plan will be put into effect. Secretary Wallace strongly favors this scheme.

The regula- - aw v$ tions also require that analysis tags be attached to all shipments of alfalfa and red clover seed in all classes where the Bureau authorizes the use of an official tag verifying the origin of the seed. The regulations also limit government verification of origin to domestically grown seed. Doctor Black explained that, under the new regulations, every bag of alfalfa and red clover seed bearing a tag must also bear an analysis tag showing the seed to contain not more than 1 per cent weed seed, purity of 98 per cent or better with a tolerance of 2 per cent of other crop seeds, and a minimum of 65 per cent of live pure seed. The quantity of noxious weed seeds must be no more than is allowed under the laws of the state into which the seed is shipped. For many years origin has been recognized as an improtant factor in the adaptability of certain seeds to the area where grown.
