Eecent advices from Colorado cucum- 

 ber seed growers is to the eifect that 

 the crop will be much shorter than pre- 

 dicted some three weeks ago. They 

 claim the seed is turning out badly and 

 that a great many flat seeds without 

 germs have developed. That at present 

 no fixed percentage for delivery can be 

 named. 



The XJ. S. General Appraisers have 

 again ruled that millet seed in its natural 

 condition is free of duty as grass seed 

 "not specially provided for"; this in the 

 protest of J. C. Edwards against the 

 collector at San Francisco. A similar 

 protest by the Dickinson Co. was sus- 

 - tained some years ago and has since 

 been the guide for the Department. 



The United States Supreme Court 

 granted a writ of certiorari yesterday 

 to the First National Bank and H. W. 

 Eogcrs & Brothers in the legal fight 

 over seeds placed in the National Stor- 

 age Company's warehouse by Alexander 

 Kodgers. Loans amounting to $17,000 

 ■were made by those to whom the writ 

 • was granted. The case will now go to 

 the Supreme Court.
