A T. BoddinKton Co. have got par- 

 tialiv settled down in their new qiiar 

 ters in Chambers St.. New "iork. Win. 

 reduced space as compared with the 

 large area occupied in 14th street, the 

 problem of fittinir up has taken some

 ance. 



There is to be a hearing before the 

 House Committee on Coinage, Weights 

 and Measures at Washington on Thiirs- 

 dav Januarv 2<ith. to consider Con- 

 gressman Dillon-s Bill (H. R. 150) rela- 

 tive to establishing standard weights 

 of commodities, including peas, beans, 

 etc The seedsmen and Curtis Nye 

 Smith, attorney for the Seed Trade As- 

 sociation, expect to be present. 



Senator Ackerson has filed in the 

 New Jersey Senate a Bill (S. 11) to 

 regulate the sale of agricultural seeds 

 and to provide standards of purity and 

 germination. This is the old Iowa 

 type of seed bill, discarded for the 

 label law of more recent seed legisla- 

 tion. The bill affects all classes of 

 seeds and is highly objectionable to the 

 seed trade and of little protective value 

 to purchasers of seeds.
