J. C. Leonard, of the Leonard Seed 

 Co., Chicago, has just returned from Wis- 

 consin, where he spent October harvest- 

 ing potatoes. 



There is a good advance demand for 

 eanners ' varieties of peas for next year 's 

 planting, according to Arnold Ringier, 

 of the W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago. 



According to the government 's bureau 

 of crop estimates, 130 tomato canneries 

 are idle this year, although for those oper- 

 ating the acreage under tomatoes for can- 

 ning has increased from 96,338 in 1915 to 

 129,034. 



Alexander Hinchuk & Co., 5 Beek- 

 man street, New York, are the American 

 representatives of the Russian house of 

 that name. They are at present engaged 

 in investigating the possibilities of mar- 

 keting Russian seeds in this country, es- 

 pecially sugar beet, castor, mustard, etc. 



The great scarcity of spinach seed is 

 shown by the fact that whereas this seed 

 ordinarily sells at from 8 to 12 cents per 

 pound, actual sales have been made at 

 75 cents. Many dealers, however, are re- 

 fusing to sell at even this high price, but 

 are holding out for the almost prohibitive 

 figure of $1 per pound. This scarcity is 

 due to the fact that most of the supply 

 of spinach seeds in this country is im- 

 ported from Holland and Germany, from 

 which countries it is now impossible to 

 procure them, Holland having but re- 

 cently prohibited their export. The stock 

 that is at present in this country is prac- 

 tically all hold-oter from last year.
