A. W. Brill of Long Island writes 

 that the early prospects were for an 

 enormous yield of cabbage seed, but 

 the dry weather and green lice set in 

 just before harvest time, with the 

 result that they got only about one- 

 quarter of the crop expected, and now 

 they are refusing every day to quote 

 prices on large lots. 



J. J. Wilson, who for the past fifteen 

 years has been connected with J. M. 

 Thorburn & Co.. during half of which

 corporated in the State of New Jersey

 son being president and active man- 

 ager of the new company, which has

Th Weekly News Letter, published 

 by the U. S. Department of Agricul- 

 ture under date of September 10, 1913, 

 states that a number of shipments of 

 orchard grass seed have recently been 

 imported into the United States which 

 contain only about 25 per cent, of 

 orchard grass seed, the balance being 

 mostly chaff. 



The iniiiort price of this seed is 

 such that it cannot be recleaned but 

 must be sold (Mther in the condition 

 in which it is im|)orted or mixed with 

 other seed. There is enough seed con- 

 tained in these shipments to seed ap- 

 proximately 10.000 acres, and not more 

 than a quarter of a stand can be ex- 

 pected where the low grade seed is 

 sown.
