FLOWER SEEDS IN WASHINaiON. 



A report from White Salmon, Wash., 

 is as follows: "A valuable experiment 

 in commercial seed growing has been 

 tried out by C. W. J. Eeckers, of The 

 Eyrie, and proved practical as an 

 added source of revenue for growers of 

 this district. About an acre of sweet 

 pea seed of the Spencer varieties was 

 planted in rows eight feet wide and 

 from 100 to 300 feet long. They were 

 grown commercially for one of the 

 leading Portland seed houses and the 

 growing of other flower seeds is con- 

 templated for next season." 



DUTCH BXfLB STATISTICS. 



The U. S. consul general at Eotter- 

 dam, in discussing the 1915 commerce at 

 that port, says: "The value of bulbs 

 exported increased little, but the quan- 

 tity was considerably larger than in 

 1914. Owing to the difficulties in ex- 

 porting to the belligerent countries and 

 the diminished demand as a result of 

 the war, the growers were obliged to 

 dispose of their bulbs and flower roots 

 in the United States at lower prices 

 than heretofore." 



The quantity of bulbs and flower roots 

 invoiced at the Rotterdam consulate for 

 export to the United States increased 

 from 115,193,760 in 1914 to 135,408,000 

 in 1915, but the value increased onlv 

 from $1,251,138 to $1,272,968. 



TOFEKA., KAN. 



Edward G. Bass, whose home and 

 range were almost completely destroyed 

 by fire August 17, has announced that 

 he will rebuild immediately. Mr. Bass 

 valued his range at $16,000. He thinks 

 his losses will approximate $10,000, of 

 which $5,000 is covered by insurance. 



The Bass family has been living. in 

 a large tent near the rifins of the for- 

 mer home. In speaking of the new 

 range, Mr. Bass said: "The new boiler 

 house will be of cement and steel, so 

 that no fire can spread from it. One 

 fire is enough in a lifetime." 



Mr. Bass started in the business 

 twelve years ago. He moved to his 

 present location five years ago and. en- 

 larged and improved his range until it 

 ranked with the best in the state. Mr. 

 Bass was born in an Indian settlement
