the Faille ranch of loO acros on South 

 Main street. Tlie soil is well adapted 

 to the tomato and is beiiii"- juit in shape 

 for tlie crop. The raiudi has an e.xcid- 

 lent well and is e(pii]iiied with an elec- 

 tric ])iiiiipiii>i plant for inij^atioii pur- 

 j)oses. 



Weather conditions in this locality 

 have been ideal for farm work this win- 

 ter and the rainfall has heen siiflicieiit 

 to dale t<i make the crop outlook satis- 

 factor\-. 



KELWAY NOT OPTIMISTIC. 



.lames K(dwa.\', widl known as a seed 

 firower in Kiiyland, takes a iiessimistic 

 ^•iew of the situation as reyai-ds seed 

 siii)i)ly for lids. He says: 



'• 1 lieJiexc many kinds of ay i icuit niai 

 and veyetalile seeds, after har\ (>st 1!I17, 

 will he lacking' or exceediiij^ly scarce. 

 Sei'ds for the consumption (d' the ;illie(l 

 countries lia\e prex iously lieeii pro- 

 duced almost entirely iu comitiies now 

 at war, .-iiid the result this season ma\' 

 easily li" prophesied. It is within u\v 

 kiiiiw li'd^c tliat seeds ;n-e not lieiiiy- 

 •;i-own for l".»17 to aiiythiny like the ex- 

 tent of pre\ ions year^. .-ilthoULih the need 

 is gri'ater. 



''In the lirst jdace, in this country 

 farms in seed-yrowiuy- centers h;i\e heen 

 denuded of lahoi- throuj^li the action (»t 

 the local triliunals, who have not real- 

 ized the n;itiiiiiMl importance of tiu' oc 

 cupation ot' seecj {rrowiii;^, nor tiu' need 

 for a lar<;er (piantity of ti;iined laiior 

 in that occup;ition than in oi-dinary 

 farmiuj^. Secondly, the >;'i\ eiii nieiit is, 

 (piite jiidperly, insisting on the impor- 

 tance of <rrowiuy: corn .•ml is fixiiij; a 

 liij:]i price for it. whereas this has not 

 heen done, and can perhaps witli dif 

 ficiilty he done, for other seeds. 



"The wholes;ile seed nieKhants, who 

 j)ro\ide the capital and the outlet for 

 the s(M'd fjrower, recei\C(| no special con- 

 sideration trom the tiihunals, and are 

 contrihiitinyr to the fightiny line from 

 trained, irreplaceahle staffs exactly as 

 if they were manufacturin>; luxuries, in- 

 stead of producinj; sometiiiny indispen- 

 sahle to the life of the jieople. These 

 firms not only coiitmct with farmers and 

 growers and distrihute the seeds i)ro- 

 duced, hut se\ cr.al of them produee on 

 their own land the selected ami im- 

 proved stocks which they |)Iace with 

 their growers. This seed selection neeijs 

 a certain quality of hrains and assiduity, 

 and these are not a mono|)oly of men 

 over military ago. On the shoulders 

 of these firms falls also the duty of sup- 

 jdyiiig with seeds the British dominions 

 heyoiid the seas, a traile largely in the 

 liaiids of (iermans l)efore the war, and
