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.
Practically no seedsmen known to
carry normally important quantities
of field seeds failed to report this
year. But some important country
shippers Including one of the largest
redtop shippers, did not report in
the current and preceding surveys.
Total number of pounds of stocks
reported for 1941 on a number of va
rious kinds of field seeds included
the following of interest here: Alt'
alfa, 11,036,163. Clovers: red, 11,.
607,640; alsike, 4,132,922; sweet, 7,.
133,468; white, 370,663; crimson, 2,.

tucky blue grass, 8,910,465; red top,
9,235,552; timothy, 14,334,787. Stocks
of the lespedezas Include Korean,
1,898,019; Kobe, 28.633; other, 26,288.

Ceiling Price of
Lumber Under
Retail Level
Portland, Ore., Aug. 21 W) Ore
gon and Washington lumbermen
were told here yesterday that the
tentative ceiling price for Douglas
fir lumber was under the prevailing
retail level.
A number of speakers protested to
Peter A. Stone, representing Leon
Henderson, chief of the federal of
fice of production and civilian sup
ply, that production costs were too
high to permit the reduction.
One speaker said many mills would
face bankruptcy uinder the proposed
prices.
Henderson asserted that a celling
was needed to prevent Inflation and
that the price administration was
seeking to determine the proper
level.
These prices were tentatively list
ed: Boards and sheeting, 1x6 and 1x8,
$27 (1x8 Is now $31); 1x10, $25, 1x12,
$28.
Dimensions, 2x4, 2x6 and 2x8,
$26.50; 2x10, $27.50, and 2x12, $29,
Stone said other classifications on
which a ceiling price would be fix
ed were finish, flooring, celling, par
titions, drop siding and timbers. He
said he would name a committee of
lumbermen to present differentials.
Henry S. Reuss. attorney for the
administrator, said the price sche
dule would affect only sales from
mills where 25 per cent of the
lumber used was planed or otherwise
processed.
If the prices are established by
Henderson, they are expected to be
effective September 15.

a belligerent warship. One of the
meetings was on the British battle
ship Prince of Wales, others aboard

The message today, White House

The president told congress that
because of the factor of safety to
