The scene is from one of the lavish pro duction numbers. And second big feature is Fredrlc March and Betty Field in "Victory." Seed Carryover Survey Made The mid-year field seed survey just completed by the department of agriculture's marketing service shows that the carry-over of 14 kinds was smaller on June 30 of this year than a year earlier, while the carry-over of 9 other kinds was larg er. The seeds for which stocks fell below those of last year by the per centages given are: Kobe lespedeza (88), Austrian Winter peas (78), Korean lespedeza (77), orchard grass (72), other lespedeza (68) bromegrass (67), sweet clover and millet (each 44), White clover (38), timothy (36), red clover (28), bentgrass (11), alfalfa (3), and crimson clover (1). On the other hand, stocks exceeded those of last year by percentages as follows: Crested wheatgrass (455), hairy vetch (240), sorgo (192) meadow fescue (95), Kentucky bluegrass (64), Sudan grass (61) redtop (81), ryegrass (39), and alsike clover (31). With five exceptions, stocks of kinds which were larger or smaller this year than last year were in turn respectively, larger or smaller In 1940 than in 1939. Although stocks of alfalfa and red, crimson, and sweet clover were below those of 1940, they exceeded the 1939 stocks. Kentucky bluegrass stocks were larger this year than in 1940, but smaller than In 1939. No compari sons can be made between 1939 and 1941 stocks of Austrian Winter peas, bentgrass, bromegrass, crested wheatgrass, and common ryegrass because these seeds were not includ ed in stock surveys prior to this year. . Reports with usable figures were received from 1,031 seedsmen and important country shippers, which Is 138 more than reported last year.
