take care of our growing business when 

 the building ia finished. The seed busi- 

 ness," continued Mr. Harnden, "is 

 problematic. We have not had a normal 

 growing season for five years, but this 

 does not say that the next one also will 

 be abnormal. We planted forty acres 

 of sweet corn for seed, with no returns. 

 From a similar sowing of field corn we 

 received a little. I made a tour of the 

 bean-growing section of California and 

 was amazed at what I saw. There are 

 tremendous possibilities in that state 

 for providing us with beans of all kinds, 

 especially Limas, such a sort as Ken- 

 tucky Wonder, and onions, too. Speak- 

 ing of onions reminds me. of our ex- 

 perience this year in sowing seed for an 

 estimated yield of 6,000 bushels of sets 

 — we received 1,600 bushels. Yea, I 

 heard of that basket of onions that cre- 

 ated such interest at the vegetable 

 growers' convention at Chicago. We 

 secured that strain, like this: I noted 

 in passing a commiaaion house one day 

 a crate of onions, of a strain I had not 

 yet seen. I immediately purchased it 

 and had the bulbs set out for seed. We 

 placed no great value on the stock, but 

 distributed it. I believe it is the finest 

 onion on the market today. No, we do 

 not control the stock any more. My 

 son, Glen C, is relieving me of much 

 of the heavy end of the business, allow- 

 ing me to give closer attention to my 

 duties as president of the board of fire 

 and water commissioners," continued 

 Mr. Harnden, with a merry twinkle in 

 his eye as he handed me his card.

T. Lee Adams, of Kansas City, is en- 

 larging the insecticide department of 

 the big seed business through the 

 abandonment of this line by the Mis- 

 souri Seed Co., which intends to spe- 

 cialize in field seeds. 



Hubbard's Seed Store, of Topeka, 

 Kan., reports good early sales of bulbs, 

 most of which arrived in good season. 

 It is noted in passing that hardly any 

 of the shipments is received complete, 

 and many bulbs show the effects of 

 delay in transit. 



The Ross Bros. Seed Co., of Wichita, 

 Kan., has been reorganized after the de- 

 cease of its founder. L. B. McCausland 

 is manager and has put- new life into 

 this sterling, long-established house by 

 remodeling and introducing the better 

 methods. - W. M.
