Seed Trade 



The Seed Pea Crop. 



"We missed our usual crop notes in 

 last week's issue, but can give somo 

 Interesting, if not welcome, crop news 

 this weeli. In the recent issue we 

 stated that all indications pointed to 

 a very short crop of peas again this 

 year. Since that time the worst fears 

 of the seed growers have been realized 

 and while we have not and could not 

 at this time get exact figures we may 

 state confidently that the crop will be 

 at least as short as last year, and we 

 fear even shorter. This will be most 

 unwelcome news to the ^ieed trade as 

 well as to the canners of the country. 

 Practically no seed peas were carried 

 over from last year, and a good lil>cral 

 crop this year would have been readily 

 absorbed; hence the empty bags and 

 bins followed by another great short- 

 age will probably be keenly felt by all 

 intereste(l parties. It looks at this 

 time as if we were going to have new 

 high price records on peas, and any- 

 one in the trade who can secure good 

 stocks at any prices named at this 

 time should not hesitate a moment to 

 take advantage of same. The trade as 

 a whole have iiot yet waked up to tiie 

 actual situation, and probably will not. 

 as usual, until they receive estimates 

 from the growers: then it will indeed 

 be an unhappy awakening. There can 

 be no possible mistake about the gen- 

 eral condition of the pea crop at this 

 time. Our information is direct from 

 first hands and from sources that 

 leave no room for floubt, therefore, we 

 beg to say again to the trade — get to 

 cover just as upeetUly as possible. 



We shall probably be able to fur- 

 nish more detailed information in the 

 near future as to the pea crop, but at 

 this time it is not quite clear which 

 class of peas has suffered the most.
