the average cost of his seed higher 

 than his farmers will stand for. 



Among the brighter sputs standing 

 out this year are the deliveries that 

 are being made by two or three of the 

 western growers. One or two expect 

 to deliver 50 per cent., and we under- 

 stand the Leonard Seed Company is 

 making fill per cent, on Alaskas and 

 the Sweet Wrinkled varieties used by 

 cannevs. 



At the regular annual meeting of the 

 Mutual Benefit Association of the 

 Joseph Breck & Sons Corporation held 

 October 13, the following officers were 

 elected for the ensuing year: Presi- 

 dent, Alex. J. M. Joiner; vice-presi- 

 dent, F. S. Ferreira; treasurer, H. L. 

 Haynes; secretary, Miss H. L. Riley; 

 executive committee, Mis. A. Coombs, 

 Miss M. E. Hopkins, Messrs J. N. Mar- 

 den, S. L. Hatch, and W. J. Dacey. 



It was unanimously voted to extend 

 to the members of the corporation a 

 vote of thanks for the action taken 

 recently as regards early closing on 

 Saturdays. 



The report of the treasurer showed 

 the association in a very flourishing 

 condition.

It is stated that .the D. M. Ferry 

 Seed Co. is to establish a large seed 

 farm in Idaho. 



Proclaiming n new era for seed selection 

 in the agriculture and horticulture of the 

 state, President Duncan of the Alabama 

 Plant Breeders' Association, issued an en- 

 thusiastic appeal to the public for co- 

 operation. The address of President Dun- 

 can is to enlist the masses in the move- 

 ment. The logic of bis appeal, it is be- 

 lieved, will have the desired effect, and on 

 the membership roll of the new organiza- 

 tion, the leading farmers of Alabama will 

 in time appear. The committee on con- 

 stitution and by-laws of the organization 

 will make a full report at the next meet- 

 ing of the association, subject to the call 

 of the president. — Mobile (Ala.) Register,
