Prospects for corn have improved con- 

 siderably in the past ten days. 



Mitciielhill & Co., St. Joseph, Mo.. 

 are building an addition, 40x65 to their 

 seed warehouse. 



John M. Clark, of the Leonai 

 Co., is in Northern Michigan, crop in- 

 specting and doing a little fishing mi tin- 

 side. 



Reports as to the condition of clover 

 seed crops are very good, not only in 

 Germany and Austria but also in France 

 ami Russia. Stocks of red clover are, 

 however, very low on the continent. 



Philadelphia. S. B. Dicks, represent 

 Lng ' '""|" i . Tabor £ I .... and James 

 Comont, representing James Carter, Dun- 



callers recently. Recent advices from the 

 seed growing districts of France are 

 more hopeful. A demand for seeds for 

 the season of 1904 is already quite 

 marked and is setting in earlier than 

 usual by at least two months. 



Funk Bros. Seed Co., Bloomington, 



111., has taken up the matter of breeding 

 corn for the purpose of not only produc- 

 ing perfect ears and grain but adding to 

 the protein, starch or oil content. As 

 corn groweis in the ^Mississippi valley 

 are, many of them, growing their crops 

 for particular purposes, they see a direct 

 commercial return in proportion to the 

 success of their experiments. Prof. 

 Bailey used several photographs, taken in 

 the course of their experiments, to il- 

 e an article on plant breeding in 

 Country Life for June. 



WISCONSIN PEA CROP. 



The harvestim: of peas in Door county, 

 Wisconsin, is about finished. Thrashing 

 ..I Uaskas, Extra Earlies, Gems and Ad- 



vam - rs has in ,.,„ .... Some milling 



is l.eing ,lmie and the hand picking has 

 started. Deliveries shOT a fair quality 

 and the quantity comes up to the re- 

 vised estimates in most eases. The Tele- 

 phones, .Marrowfats and other late sorts 

 promise to meet expectations and the 

 weatln-r is favorable for yetting them 



uiel.-r cover in g 1 shape. Alaskas 



evidently suffered mosl from the spring 

 frosts and summer rains, but then ap 

 pears to be sufficient of them in the 

 hands of farmers who grew on their own 

 accounl to make up the shortage of de- 

 liveries to regular contractors. The qual- 

 ity of these promiscuous stocks will 

 hardly be up to the standard, as farmers 

 usually tire not well enough posted to dis- 

 tinguish the good from the poor, quantity 

 '.if bushels being their principal aim. 



GOVERNMENT SEED SHOP. 



The New York Sun recently printed 

 the following letter from a subscriber 

 at Washington. D. C. : 



The chiefs of division of the 6eed section of 

 the Department of Agriculture purpose to as- 

 snme the official determination of commercial 

 types and sub-types of vegetables, grains and
