TRADE NOTES 



FURTHER INCREA.se IN C.^PITAlj. 



The effect of increasing values, as well as increas- 

 ing business, has made a further increase neces- 

 sary in the capital stock of The A. I. Root Co. 

 Provision has been made to authorize a total issue 

 of one and a half million dollars, divided as fol- 

 lows: The present preferred of $250,000, paying 

 5 per cent fixed dividend, is designated as First 

 Preferred. There is authorized $500,000 Second 

 Preferred paying 7 per cent annually, payable 

 quarterly the first of February, May, August, and 

 November of each year, 1% per cent in each pay- 

 ment. The issue of common stock is authorized to 

 the extent of $750,000. The Second Preferred is 

 offered for general subscription and is, we believe, 

 an attractive investment. We expect to give further 

 particulars in next issue; but if any of our readers 

 are interested and would like further details, write 

 us and we will gladly furnish all information re- 

 quired. The a. I. Root Co.

Special Notices by A. 1. Kool 



.-^HB NEW ANNUAL SWEET (JLOVER. 



After the notice I gave in our June issue there 

 came such a flood of applications for a pinch of 

 seed that I feared our supply was n it going to hold 

 out. At this date, however, June 16, the prospect 

 is that w.e shall be able to supply all applicants. It 

 may be too late now to secure maiurcd seed; but 

 >ou can make a test to see what a tremendous 

 crrower it is. The following from Professor H. D. 

 Hughes, of the Iowa State College, will. I am sure, 

 1 e read with interest. We are indelted to Professor 

 Hughes, it ■will be remembered, for giving this seed 

 to the world. 



"Dear /Sirs; — You will rememl>er that we sent a 

 very few seed to each of the different State experi- 

 ment stations — also to the large seedsmen thruout 

 the country, and some of these have made very good 

 use from the seed which they got from 40 or 50 

 plants. A letter from the Henry Field Seed Com- 

 pany, at Shenandoah, Iowa, is to the effect that 

 thev have in the neighborhood of two acre--; in rows. 



"It occurs to me that you will be interested in a 

 report from the Oregon Experiment Station to the 

 effect that this clover grew to a height of 8 feet and 

 set seed very heavily. 



''This strain of this clover that we distributed is 

 not maturing seed north of central Iowa. From the 

 various types which we have, there is no reason why 

 strains cannot be isolated which will mature very 

 satisfactorilv considerablv farther north.

'■.\mes. Iowa, June 11. 1919." 



Just think of it! clover eight feet tall and full 

 of bloom in just one summer. Our Ohio Experiment 

 Station obtained a quart of seed, and have sowed it 

 all. Below is another report : 



"Dear Friend: — I planted the seed which you 

 sent me last fall in February and only seven plants 

 came up (the seed seemed somewhat immature), 

 but they grew very rapidly and soon outstripped 

 plan's of the common variety. Today they stand 

 over five feet high and are beginning to bloom. 

 Bees have started to work on the clover, altho only 

 a few clusters of bloom are open. 



It has started off so nicely that I have hopes that 

 it will do well here where so few of the clovers suc- 

 ceed. 



Thanking you again for the seed, I remain your 

 friend. "J. D. Yancey.

BEEKEEPERS AND INSPECTORS 



The California and CorwU ,Short Courses, consisting of a week's lectures by Dr. E. F. Phillips 

 and Mr. G. S. Demuth of the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture at Washington, and others, reported in 

 sh'jrthund at Davis, Calif. The thirteen principal lectures (with questions and answers) in type- 

 written mimeographed form — nearly equal to a 200-page book — cover the best methods of beekeep- 

 ing as practically applied to both Eastern and CaHjorttia conditions ; fundamentals of wintering 

 in any climate; elaliorate and graphic descriptions of lirood diseases and their successful treat- 

 ment ; principles and practice of swarm prevention and control, and other subjects. Not a book, 

 hut point-blank scientific and practical talks to our best lieekeepers, by our best auihorities. 

 Whether or not you were among the hundreds who attended the Short Courses, you will need these 

 lectures to study and keep for ccmstant reference. The new informaiion on disease is indispensa- 

 ble to Inspectors. Price for the complete set, $1.75, postpaid 



"The editor regards this as a valuable publication for the beekeepers of California. He has gone over much of it and 

 considers it a very accurate report of what was said by the Staff of the California Speakers at the Short Courses here 

 last winter in various parts of California. These lectures cover particularly California conditions."
