 Vice-Pres., J. Chas MiTnllont'h. Cincinnati. c>;

 Th'' ■-'■-M animal meeting will be hold at St. Louis. 



Pole beans are looking well in Cali- 

 fornia. 



The seed trade in the ivest is in 

 healthy shape, a good season past and 

 another in prospect. 



The prospect for a crop of either field 

 or sweet corn is not bright, in the opin- 

 ion of experienced crop inspectors. 



A. B. Dicks, of Cooper, Taber & Co., 

 London, reached New York, August 15 

 on his annual visit to American seed 

 houses. 



Beginning August 10 the bureau of 

 statistics of the Department of Agricul- 

 ture gives reports on clover seed as well 

 as on clover for hay. 



Seed exports for the twelve months 

 prior to .Inly 1 were: Clover seed, 15,- 

 522,527 pounds; flaxseed, 4,128,130 

 bushels; timothy seed. 18,289,917 pounds, 

 ami other grass seed valued at $581,773. 



The Department of Agriculture has 

 published in Bulletin No. 42 descriptions 

 of udo, a new winter salad, and wasabi, 

 the horseradish of the Japanese, by 

 David G. Fairchikl, agricultural ex- 

 plorer. 



Advice from Hamburg, Germany, says : 

 "We are going to have large crops of 

 timothy and trefoil and prices will range 

 low. New trefoil has appeared in the 

 markets. The quality is very good. 

 Prices are as low as 14 marks, which has 

 not been the case for years. 



Secretary Wilson has ordered Spe- 

 cial Attorney George McCable, of the 

 department, to go to Philadelphia with 

 Special Assistant Attorney General J. A. 

 Tanner and take the testimony of Bur- 

 nett Landreth, the secretary ' of the 

 Wholesale Seedmen's League", to be used 

 by the government when the Mellis seed 

 contract comes up before the Court of 

 Claims next October. 



Philadelphia. — Landreth & Sons are 

 offering all that part of their store 



equipment devoted to the retail trade at 

 very tempting prices to effect quick sale; 

 this includes hoth stock and store fixtures. 

 Several outside firms sought to buy up 

 and continue the business, but upon 

 learning the rental — $11,000 per annum 

 — asked by the owners of the building, 

 thought differently. 



Late advices from some of the pea 

 growing districts of Canada are definite. 

 Most early smoooth sorts will be de- 

 livered 100 per cent, must wrinkled sorts 

 75 per cent and some as low as 60 per 

 cent. 



A small acreage of sugar corn is 

 grow a in tliis locality . mosl i> of 1 be Ei ei 

 variety, and at this writing the 

 outlook for properly matured seed is 

 very dubious. The weather is unusually 

 wet, the temperature is low both day 

 and night and recently a frost was uar- 

 rowly averted. The outlook for a favor- 

 able seed harvest in this locality is not 

 above 50 per cent and some putting it 

 as low as :',:; i-:; per cent of all varieties.
