The larger number of letters com- 

 ing into the Chicago offices of the Pul- 

 verized Manure Co., the Chicago Feed 

 and Fertilizer Co. and the Proto Feed 

 and Guano Co., inquiring for commer- 

 cial fertilizers indicate that growers 

 are learning their value. 



CHICAGO. 

 There is a good demand for commer- 

 cial fertilizers. As the cost of produc- 

 tion has become larger and larger, the 

 growers have been impressed with the 

 necessity of getting larger and better 

 crops and the force of the slogan, 

 "Feed your soil that it may feed you." 

 has become to mean more to them 

 than ever before. 



NEW ENGLAND. 

 William H. Forbes, Veteran of the 

 Canadian forces in the World War, 

 who saw service from the first days of 

 the conflict, and his brother Michael 

 Forbes, have taken over the Aylward 

 greenhouses on Willow street, Woburn 

 and the O'Rourke greenhouses on Bed- 

 ford road of the same city, and will 

 operate them for the production of 

 flowers and vegetables. The young 

 men have had experience in this line 

 and know the business. They are now 

 picking violets in the Willow street 

 houses and radishes are being grown
