The rumor reported in these columns 

 some weeks ago, that Prof. Pieters of 

 the Dept. of Agriculture was soon to 

 sever his connection with the Dept., to 

 engage in seed growing in California, 

 proves to have been well founded. 

 Prof. Pieters leaves the Dept. Oct. 1st., 

 and will locate in the Santa Clara 

 \'alley. Having made many trips to 

 the Pacific coast, and imspefted the 

 several seed growing establishments 

 and their methods. Prof. Pieters has 

 reached the conclusion that there is 

 need of improvement in the methods 

 employed, and believes he can better 

 existing types, and bring them to an 

 all round higher degree of perfection. 

 The names of those engaged with Prof. 

 Pieters will be given shortly. His aim 

 is laudable and it is hoped he may 

 succeed. Any one whose aim is to 

 improve existing conditions and raise 

 the standard a little higher should be 

 given the glad hand of encouragement. 

 If Prof. Pieters is really able to pro- 

 duce better types than his competitors 

 they will in time be compelled to fol- 

 low his example, and thus he will prove 

 a genuine benefactor. The kind of en- 

 couragement he most needs is in the 

 form of orders for seeds, l)Ut before 

 he can reasonably hope for much 

 business, he will have to demonstrate 

 that he has the goods he claims. 



The past few weeks have not been 

 favorable for vine seed crops, weather 

 generally being too dry, and this has 

 developed many insects which have 

 preyed on the vines. One report says 

 the average on cucumbers in the west 

 will not exceed 25 per cent, to 40 per
