of land near the city. Manager H. B. 

 Chamberlain says that the call for grass 

 seed is unprecedented. As Bent and 

 Fescue grasses are imported and almost 

 unobtainable, native grasses must suf- 

 fice for the present. 



The American Seed Co. and D. M. 

 Ferry & Co., of Detroit, are making ex- 

 tensive additions to their warehouse ca- 

 pacities to take care of the wholesale 

 trade. The retail stores are doing a 

 large business. 



The Michigan Bean Growers' Asso- 

 ciation, in conjunction with the Michi- 

 gan Bean Jobbers' Association, has 

 practically decided upon a price of $5 

 per bushel for beans of October har- 

 vest, with an additional 10 or 15 cents 

 per bushel for storage and handling. 

 The crop is expected to yield one-half 

 of the normal, while returns from Cali- 

 fornia and Colorado show about the 

 same proportion — a total crop of 9,000,- 

 000, compared with 12,000,000 last 

 year. 



The Page-Phillips Seed Co., of 

 Toledo, O., reports large receipts of 

 clover and timothy of good average 

 quality. Prices, especially of timothy, 

 show a downward tendency and the 

 present should be a favorable time to 

 purchase. 



The W. T. Phillips Seed & Implement 

 Co., of Toledo, fills in the dull time by 

 handling large lots of fruit baskets, at 

 a good profit. W. M, 



CLOVER FOE SEED. 



According to the Bureau of Crop 

 Estimates of the XJ. S. Department of 

 Agriculture, the acreage of clover for 

 seed increased this year over last nine 

 and one-tenth per cent, equal or greater 

 acreages being reported in all states 

 except New York, in which it suffered 

 a reduction to ninety-seven from 

 drought, and Wisconsin and Minnesota, 

 in which it fell to ninety and ninety- 

 five per cent of last year from the 

 effects of winterkill, drought and the 

 pasturing of the clover meadows. 

 Marked increases are shown in all other 

 important clover seed states of the 

 north central group, ranging from 105 

 in Iowa to 125 in Michigan and Ne- 

 braska. 



The condition of the crop is reported 

 at eighty-four and one-tenth per cent 

 of a normal, which is three and eight- 

 tenths higher than last year and four 

 and eight-tenths above the 10-year 

 average, the condition being between 

 eighty and ninety per cent in all im- 

 portant clover seed states. Oregon re-
