yet were left entirely and, though the 

 outlook has been dismal, we hope the 

 harvest will be a bountiful one,'' said 

 the optimistic manager. George F. 

 Siegel, of Erie's oldest seed house, en- 

 dorsed this prediction. W. M. 



ANOTHER POT OF OOIiD? 



For years Henry Field, of Shenan- 

 doah, la., has had a page in his cata- 

 logue headed "For the Kainbow 

 Chaser," devoted to the things Mr. 

 Field doesn't believe in, but can supply 

 if you want them. For the benefit of 

 "rainbow chasers" the U. S. Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture states that it 

 recently has been advised that a variety 

 of wheat is being advertised under the 

 name "Titanic." The assertion is 

 made that it is a new variety of wheat 

 discovered in England about four years 

 ago and that a small quantity of seed 

 was brought to the United States by 

 one of' the survivors of the ill-fated 

 Titanic. The wheat is represented as 

 having extremely high yielding power, 

 the returns reaching as high as 7,000- 

 fold. A photograph sent by a corre- 

 spondent, says the department, shows 

 a head identical in appearance with 

 the widely exploited "AJaska'^ wheat. 

 Five acres pf the wheat are said to be 

 growing in the state of Washington, 

 and the seed, it is believed, will be 

 offered at high prices after harvest. 

 The department has no further or more 

 definite information concerning this 

 variety, but farmers and dealers are 

 cautioned to be on their guard con- 

 cerning this new exploitation. 



CANNEBS NEED MANY SEEDS. 



The importance of the canners' trade 

 with those, seedsmen catering to this 

 special demand is shown by the state- 

 ment, issued last week, of the general 

 results of the 1914 census of manu- 

 factures for the canning and drying 

 of fruits and vegetables by the Bureau 

 of the Census, Department of Commerce. 



Returns were received from 3,199 

 establishments engaged in the industry 

 in 1914, the products of which for that 

 year were valued at $158,015,893. The 

 products reported for 1909 were valued 

 at $96,943,273. The number of es- 

 tablishments in 1914 exceeded the 

 number reported for 1909 by 337, or 

 11.8 per cent; while the value increased 

 by $61,072,620, or 63 per cent. 



The value of canned vegetables in- 

 creased from $53,307,791 in 1909 to 

 $84,413,667 in 1914, or 58.3 per cent.
