40 per cent. With 16 to 18 new can- 

 neries in operation in tlie canning of 

 peas, it is now estimated that the total 

 pack of the country will be from half 

 a million to a million cases less than 

 last year, and of decidedly better aver- 

 age quality. This means better prices. 

 There were certainly many thou- 

 sands of bushels of what are Ivuown as 



"canners' varieties" carried over, par- 

 ticularly of what are known as "sweet 

 peas" including Advance, Admiral and 

 Horsford's Market Garden, while the 

 carry-over of pedigree Alaskas was 

 comparatively light. It is quite well 

 understood that a considerable per- 

 centage of the canners, including many 

 of the largest, bought no future pea 



seed last spring, and the shortage that 

 will have to be covered is variously es- 

 timated at from 100,000 to 150,000 

 bushels, and the prices will hinge 

 largely on this year's crop. As is gen- 

 erally known the high price of seed 

 peas extending over several years de- 

 veloped quite a brood of farmer grow- 

 ers. No matter how good or bad the
