 Secretary-Treasurer, 0. B. Kendel. Cleveland, O. 



"W. W. Barnard, Chicago, again is in 

 the hospital. 



The Fangboner Seed Co., Bellevue, 

 Ohio, has been incorporated tor $50,000 

 and will deal exclusively in seed corn, 

 wheat and oats. 



Not only has it been the biggest seed 

 selling season, but the seed houses that 

 handle plants over the counter have had 

 a tremendous business, especially in vege- 

 table plants. 



.♦ The American Seedtape Co., with prin- 



j cipal office at 365 Ogden street, Newark, 



* has been incorporated under the laws of 



Ne^.JeriBey with $1,000,000 capital, to 



manufacture the seed container known as 



seedtape. 



As an indication of the thoroughness 

 with which certain of the Holland houses 

 now curry the American field, Westerbeek 

 & Klyn, in additioh to a permanent rep- 

 .; resentative in New IJprk, have' light trav- 

 elers on the road here. 



The labor question is one of the worst 

 of the numerous problems confronting the 

 California seed growers. It is reported 

 by some of them that they are required 

 to pay $5 a day for Chinese labor, or see 

 it employed in other lines. 



Frank Rudy, vice-president of the 

 Eudy-Patrick Seed Co., Kansas City, who 

 retired from active business about a year 

 ago on account of failing health, died 

 July 31, aged 59 years, and was buried 

 the afternoon of August 2. He is sur- 

 vived by a widow, one son and one 

 daughter. 



Latest reports from the west are that 

 the pea yield will run from twenty-five to 

 fifty per cent of a crop. Many canners 

 and growers now feel that they would 

 have been better pleased if their con- 

 tracts had all been in Wisconsin and the 

 eastern section, instead of in the irri- 

 gated country. 



The extreme heat and hot winds of 

 the last week in July have caused onion 

 sets at Chicago to go down rapidly and 

 they are ripening olf small and will not 

 bushel up and make so large a yield as 

 was expected teii days ago. Harvesting 

 is under way aga considerable difficulty 

 is found in getting sufficient help in the 

 field. 



The Berry Seed Co., Clarinda, la., has 

 begun work on a 3-8tory brick addition to 

 its office building. The new structure will 

 be the same height and width as the 

 present building. When completed it will 

 be used to house the printing office and 

 garden seed mailing department. Last 

 season's business was the largest in the 

 history of the company, officials say. 



Representatives of the Leonard Seed 

 Co., Chicago, J. Allen Bomm and W. A. 

 Gardiner, salesmen, and A. H. Smith, 

 treasurer, have returned from a trip to 

 Columbus, Wis., where they inspected the 

 company's trial grounds and looked 

 ovQr the pea crops the company has been 

 groiri^^.and harvestinig in that section. 

 After spending a few days in Chicago, 

 looking over the onibn set crops and the 

 company's warehouses,. -Mesiifs. (Jardiner 

 and Bomm returned to their eastern ter- 

 ritory.
