Or,, if ithey grow seed, (they cart make -money by holding until the following sprang. Thai's one conclusion of a study by G. L. Jordan and William Heer, University of Illinois farm economists, reported in a bulletin called "Pricing and Utilization of Legume and Grass {Seed." They studied red clover, sweet clover, alfalfa, alsige, lespedeza and timothy. In three of the years between 1950 and 1953, timothy sold for $1.90 more per 100 pounds in March than the September before. In two years out of four, red clover cost $1.75 more in March. Prices for most seed varied' in the same seasonal pattern. Average alfalfa prices didn't vary so much, but prices for improved varieties did. Prices are more important to growers than, to buyers, the authors point out. Because there is no future market in seed, prices fluctuate widely. Dealers have to carry all the risk of price drops, and..to protect themselves they buy "safely." Most seed is sold at harvest. The amount the producer gets varies from about 52 cents of Che retail diollar for timothy up to 70 cents for lespedeza. Except' for lespedeza, the producer's share is going down. Jordan and Heer say seed prices are most closely related with gross tanm income, but tlhey also vary with livestock numbers, length and stability of rotations and supplies of seed.

The propane storage installations, which will be made in three key locations in the company's service area at a cost of about $800,000, are now considered feasible after a careful review of operating experience during the last iheating season. Chandler explained that only limited amounts of propane gas can be mixed with straight natural gas if proper burning characteristics are to be maintained. , There still will be more than 100,000 on the waiting list after the present authorizations, Chancier Said, and the company is hopeful that the continued development of the underground storage project of 'the Natural Gas Storage Company of Illinois at Herscher will make it possible to add more residential gas heat customers to .the system later this year.
