 Secretary-Treas urer, C. H. Kendel. CleYeland, O. 



A. H. Smith, of the Leonard Seed Co., 

 Chicago, is on a brief trip to California. 



The onion set crop in the Chicago dis- 

 trict has been liarvested in good condi- 

 tion. 



Ralph M. Ward is in Japan, having 

 recently returned there after a trip to 

 China. 



Peas will undoubtedly be short this 

 year. Present estimates are placed at 

 about fifty per cent of a crop. Hot winds 

 are said to have done considerable dam- 

 age. 



The proceedings of the thirty-fifth an- 

 nual convention of the American Seed 

 Trade Association at Detroit, Mich., June 

 19 to 21, have been published in book 

 form. 



Reports from Michigan indicate that 

 the crop of garden beans wiU not be large 

 this year. Although the crop is good in 

 some districts, in others cutworms and dry 

 weather have brought about much destruc- 

 tion. 



The E. G. Lewis Seed Co., of Media, 

 111., recently was incorporated with a 

 capital stock of $30,000. The incorpora- 

 tors were Edgar C. Lewis, Samuel N. 

 Mathers, James J. Mathers and R. Pen- 

 darvis. 



The officers of the Rudy-Patrick Seed 

 Co., Kansas City, since the death of Frank 

 Rudy, are as follows: President, Howard 

 S. Patrick; vice-presidents, Roy A. Ed- 

 wards and Ross M. Eldridge; secretary, 

 John W. Miller: assistant secretary, Fred 

 A. Starry J treasurer, Wilbur E, Hoover. 



Charles J. Bolgiano, of J. Bolgiano 

 & Son, Baltimore, Md., has returned from 

 a short stay at his summer home in the 

 Allegheny mountains. Morris B. Robin- 

 son, manager of the firm's retail store, is 

 at Mr. Bolgiano 's mountain home recov- 

 ering his strength after a serious illness 

 with typhoid fever. Rozell Bowen, west- 

 ern representative of the firm, was in Chi- 

 cago for two weeks the first part of 

 August. 



The meeting of seedsmen at the Hotel 

 Gordon, Washington, D. C, August 21, 

 which was called by Food Administrator 

 Hoover, proved to be mainly for the pur- 

 pose of helping the government secure in- 

 formation as to the supply of seed which 

 would be available for the next year. The 

 situation, as pertaining to the canning 

 industry, was discussed and plans were 

 laid to endeavor to get a proper distribu- 

 tion of stock so that all the canning fac- 

 tories will be supplied. 



"The notes that have appeared in 

 print in regard to the prospects of the 

 seed harvest in America, and also in 

 France, would seem to indicate that early 

 activity is advisable in order to make 

 sure of adequate stock for next season," 

 says a writer in an English trade paper. 

 "I have not come across any printed 

 statement in regard to British seed crops, 

 but so far as my travels enable me to 

 judge I am inclined to think we shall 

 produce more seed than usual and a good 

 many subjects that we have hitherto been 

 content to leave to other countries are be- 

 ing grown in fairly good quantities."
