The British trade press is agitating 

 the question of an import duty on all for- 

 eign-grown bulbs. 



Freight and duty will this year prac- 

 tically double the price of Japanese bulbs 

 between Yokohama and New York. 



The H. G. Hastings Co., Atlanta, Ga., 

 has received a cable from its grower of 

 Bermuda onion seed in Teneriffe stating 

 that he will make full delivery on this 

 year 's crop. 



Alfred Eoss, of the Ross Bros. Seed 

 House, Wichita, Kan., died on the morn- 

 ing of May 14, heart failure being the 

 cause of death. Further particulars will 

 be found in the obituary column. 



W. W. Barnard left Santa Barbara for 

 Chicago May 23. Mr. Barnard has been 

 in California since January and found the 

 climate so pleasing that in future he in- 

 tends to make his winter residence there. 



A. H. GooDveiN, vice-president of the 

 W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago, is spending 

 week ends at his summer home at Lake 

 Wawasee, Ind. He is an ardent fisher- 

 man and started early in the season to 

 try his luck with the hook and line. 



The J. J. Wilson Seed Co., of Newark, 

 N. J., has received a communication from 

 the State Department at Washington, 

 stating that word has been received by

 seeds consigned to that company by a 

 Holland concern have been seized by the 

 British and are now before a prize court 

 in England. 



Seed growers in Denmark are having 

 trouble to get labor without advancing 

 their costs too rapidly. The leading in- 

 dustry in Denmark is agriculture. The 

 general average in money payments to the 

 workers during 1915 was $121 per annum 

 to the men and $72 to the women. Board 

 and lodging are furnished by the employ- 

 ers. These wages are the highest ever 

 paid in Denmark for farm labor.

The thirty-fourth annual convention 

 of the American Seed Trade Associa- 

 tion will be held at the Hotel Sherman, 

 Chicago, June 20 to 22, In sending 

 out the call Secretary Kendel says: 

 "The program this year has been pur- 

 posely shortened, as matters of vital 

 importance to the association and the 

 trade will be up for discussion and it 

 was thought wise to allow sufficient 

 time to consider them."

 lows: 



"Accounting and Business Methods," bv Robert 

 E. Belt, of the Federal Trade Commission, Wash- 

 ington, D. C. 



"Corn Growing in the North^^est," by A. K.

 evening of June 21.

 pected this year.
