American Seed Trade Convention. 



The 31st annual convention of the 

 American Seed Trade Association 

 opened in Cleveland, O., on the morn- 

 ing of the 24th, a liberal number of 

 members being present. The Conven- 

 tion was welcomed to the city by His 

 Honor Mayor Baker, in a very bright 

 and interesting address, after which 

 came the President's address, and this 

 was clear-cut and forcible. His 

 recommendations are excellent, and a 

 committee was appointed to consider 

 them and recommend such as were 

 practical, it not all of them, to the 

 Association, for adoption at the 

 earliest practicable date. One of Mr. 

 Page's recommendations is worthy of 

 especial notice; that was his advocacy 

 of a World's Seed Convention, to be 

 held in San Francisco in 1915. It may 

 or may not be known that there is a 

 strong sentiment among the seedsmen 

 to visit California in a body during 

 the year of the Panama Exposition, 

 and to hold the convention that year 

 in San Francisco. A prominent Cali- 

 fornia seed grower has been men- 

 tioned as the probable president for 

 that year, and we have been advised 

 that he is willing to serve if drafted. 

 This World's Seed Congress, as we 

 may term it. is quite an ambitious 

 proposition: at the same time there is 

 nothing impracticable about it and we 

 believe that the more it is considered, 

 the stronger it will appeal to members 

 of the American Seed Trade Associa- 

 tion. 



While the attendance, especially on 

 the second day. was, we believe, fully 

 up to other years, as to members, 

 there were not nearly a§ many ladies 

 Ijresent as at some of the conventions 

 in the past. This may or may not 

 have been due to the fact that the 

 convention is held in a city instead of 

 at an attractive summer resort. When- 

 ever the latter place is chosen, the 

 ladies turn out in much larger numbers 

 than when the conventions are held in 

 the towns. It is hoped that the next 

 convention will be held at some attrac- 

 tive spot where the winds will have

This fluid absolutely destroys all weeds and other growth wherever applied, 

 and its effect on the ground prevents the growth of fresh ones for a year and 

 thus saves a great deal of time and labor, as no cutting, hoeing or hauling away
