Seed Trade News 



AMERICAN SEES TRADE ASSOCIATION. 



President. John M. Lupton, Mattituck, L. I.; 

 Secretary-Treasurer, O. E. Kendel, Cleveland, 0. 



Thirty-fourth annual convention, Chicago, June 

 20 to 22, 1916. 



The wholesale lists now coming to 

 hand, offering turnip, etc., show "Sold 

 out ' ' after an unusual number of items. 



Considering all things, spinach seed 

 seems to be worth more money than the 

 current wholesale lists quote it at, al- 

 though advances are 5 cents to 7 cents 

 per pound since January 1. 



lOWANS HAVE GOOD MEETING. 



Officers Elected. 



At the highly successful meeting of 

 the Iowa Seed Dealers' Association, 

 now held annually at Des Moines, June 

 7 and 8, the following oflicers were 

 elected: 



President — W. C. Grote, of the Youn- 

 kerman Seed Co., Council Bluffs. 



Vice-president — E. M. Cole, of Cole's 

 Seed Store, Pella. 



Secretary — A. M. Eldridge, of Henry 

 Field Seed Co., Shenandoah, reelected. 



Treasurer — John T. Hamilton, of 

 ||Hamilton Coal & Seed Co., Cedar Eap- 

 •^jids, reelected for the tenth consecutive 

 time. 



Three Sessions Held. 



There were three business sessions 

 and a day of recreation. Matters per- 

 taining to the welfare of the organiza- 

 tion were discussed at an executive 

 session and the matter of pound and 

 bushel weights was taken up, it being 

 thought advisable to adhere to the for- 

 mer ideas, and so far as possible sell 

 seeds by the pound instead of by the 

 bushel. 



The officers of the Iowa Seed Co. did 

 themselves proud as entertainers and 

 decorators. The annual banquet was 

 held in the assembly room of the 

 Savory hotel. Mel L. Webster, who was 

 for a time in Waco, Tex., arrived in 

 time for the banquet. 



The association members were given 

 a lunch by Successful Farming and also 

 visited the new plant recently con- 

 structed by the Iowa Homestead. Not 

 all of the members availed themselves 

 of the opportunity to inspect the col- 

 lege and test grounds at Ames, la., the 

 second day, on account of unfavorable 

 weather conditions. 



Secretary Eldridge, who is given 

 credit for infusing new life into the 

 association, went home filled with fresh 

 enthusiasm. "Next year we will try 

 to make the convention bigger and bet- 

 ter and we want as soon as possible to 

 really do things," he told The Review. 

 "We are increasing our membership 

 as rapidly as consistent. We were much 

 disappointed in not having H. G. Hast- 

 ings, of Atlanta, Ga., with us, this year 

 as expected, but he was detained on ac- 

 count of the illness of Mrs. Hastings. 

 Other speakers whom we were expect- 

 ing were unavoidably detained, but we 

 had a good 4^ime anyway. ' ' 



Those Present. 



The following firms were presAit or 

 represented at the meeting: 



J. r. Sinn, Harry Sunfleld and C. E. Peck, 

 of A. A. Berry Seed Co.. Clarlnda, la. 

 E. M. Cole, of Cole's Seed Store, Pella, la.
