FROM LABELING REQUIREMENTS

It having been found that the time interval between seed harvesting and sowing is not sufficient to assure the com pletion of a germination test of freshly harvested seed of Kentucky bluegrass, Poa pratensis, now therefore pursuant to the provisions of section 203 c of the Federal Seed Act of August 9, 1939 53
Stat. 1281; 7 . S. C. 1573 c , the fol lowing regulation is hereby promulgated :
Exem ption from labeling as to ger mination o f K entucky bluegrass seed.
The requirements of paragraph 201 a 8 of the Federal Seed Act of August 9, 1939, as to labeling seed for germination when it is transported or delivered for transportation in interstate commerce for seeding purposes, shall not apply to the 1952 crop of seed of Kentucky blue grass, Poa pratensis, during the period beginning August 30, 1952, and ending October 15, 1952.
Section 203 c of the Federal Seed Act of August 9, 1939, provides that the Secretary of Agriculture may, with or without hearing, amend the regulations issued thereunder to provide exemptions from labeling requirements with respect to germination. Pursuant to this provi sion, the Secretary in various prior years amended the regulations to provide for a seasonal exemption from such labeling requirements, similar to the one provided for herein, for freshly harvested seed of Kentucky bluegrass, and there were never any objections to such action. The carry-over of this seed from the former crop year is not sufficient to meet the planting requirements therefor and by reason of the imminence of the planting season it is in the public interest th at notice of the exemption of such seed from labeling requirements as to germination be published as soon as possible. In view of these facts, and in accordance with the provisions of section 4 of the Adminis
trative Procedure Act 5 U. S. C. 1003, it is hereby found upon good cause th at notice and public procedure in connec tion with this amendment would be im practicable and contrary to the public interest.
This regulation shall be effective dur ing the period from August 30, 1952, to October 15, 1952, both inclusive.
Issued this 28th day of July 1952.

Chapter VII Production and Mar keting Administration Agricultural Adjustment, Department of Agri culture P art 701 N ational A gricultural C onservation P rogram SUBPART 1 9 5 3

Population in the United States is in creasing at the rate of 7,400 every 24
hours. For every 4 people in this coun try who now depend on the production from our farms there will be 5 people by 1975. The production so essential to the welfare of all the people and the strength and prosperity of the Nation must come largely from the land now being farmed. The possible further ex pansion of the Nations cropland acres will leave us far short of meeting our Nations future agricultural require ments.
To meet current needs for defense and the increase in population, the Nations farmers are being called on to produce more than they have ever produced be fore. At the same time, to safeguard the future of the Nation, their farms must be protected against erosion and deple tion and their acres put in condition to meet the ever increasing demands of a rapidly growing country.
Through the Agricultural Conserva tion Program, the Nation provides as sistance to aid individual farmers in protecting and improving their land and Continued on p. 6997
