Seed Trade News 



AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATION, 

 President, F. W. Bolglnno, Washington, D. C. ; 

 Secretary-Treasurer, C. E. Kendel, Cleveland, O. 



11. B. Ruck, of W. E. Marshall & Co., 

 New York, died July 21. 



Keports from Michigan show that 

 beans are growing nicely, with weather 

 conditions favorable. The crop is now 

 looking good. 



Carlos Jensen, representing L. 

 Daehnfeldt, Odense, Denmark, is making 

 a trip in the United States, almost the 

 only European traveler to visit the seed 

 trade here this year. 



Repopts from California indicate that 

 onion seed has been badly burned, espe- 

 cially in the river section. Growers have 

 not as yet thoroughly checked up the 

 damage, but feel that the crop will be 

 cut from twenty-five to forty per cent. 



According to the U. S. Department of 

 Agriculture, 138,900 acres of watermelons 

 were planted this season and 58,650 acres 

 of cantaloupes, which will give an idea of 

 what the seed requirements would l)e if it 

 were not for the home-saved seed tliat is 

 used. 



Articles of incorporation were filed 

 July 11 with the secretary of state at Des 

 Moines. la., by the Adams Seed Co., of 

 Decorah, capitalized at $350,000. Burton 

 H. Adams is the president of the company 

 and Walter C. Adams its secretary and 

 treasurer. 



John C. Leonard, of the Leonard Seed 

 Co., Chicago, who has just returned from 

 a short trip througli Wisconsin, inspect- 

 ing the peas grown by the company 

 around Columbus and Marsliall, reports 

 the yield probably will not exceed sixty 

 to seventy-five per cent of a crop, as 

 nearly as can be estimated at this time. 

 Canning factories are finished witli the 

 early pack of Alaskas and will start on 

 Horsfords and later varieties at once. 



Many American seedsmen have had 

 dealings with J. K. King & Sons, Cogges- 

 hall, England, and will learn with special 

 regret of the dcatli of Herbert T. King, 

 head of the firm, Mr. King and his man- 

 ager, J. H. Millard, were inspecting seed 

 crops in Lincolnshire June 13, when a 

 German airplane dropped bombs on the 

 station at which they had just alighted. 

 The first bomb killed Mr. King instantly 

 and the second wounded his companion. 



TiiK seed grower who says peas are 

 poor in Wisconsin and Michigan appears 

 to have the weight of evidence on his 

 side. Although the government report on 

 canncTs' crops put Wisconsin i)ens at 

 eighty-four per cent July 1, and the 

 Michigan crop at eignty-tvvo, the grocery 

 trade publications are quoting canncrs 

 as saying the condition in botli states is 

 much lower, due to excessive rains. In 

 Xew York state the pea pack now is esti- 

 mated at from fifty to sixty-five per cent 

 of last year 's, varying with the locality.
