PACKERS' TROUBLES. 



Tho .annors have been having their 

 own troubles this season and some of 

 them are of a kind with which seeds- 

 men can svmpathize. For instance, last 

 vear the Maryland and Delaware pack- 

 ers paid the farmers 15 cents per basket 

 for tomatoes, but this year agreed to 

 pav them 25 cents. The scarcity ot to- 

 matoes and the increasing demand tor 

 canned goods led to prices being in- 

 flated, until in some canneries as high 

 as 75 cents a basket has been paid this 

 vear. Many of the growers, unable to 

 resist the temptation, failed to make 

 good their contracts with the cannera 

 and sold to the agent paying the highest 



^"Evidentlv tho packers are not content 

 to have allowed the farmers to freely 

 lie down on their contracted obligations 

 for acreage, for reports from Delaware 

 indicate that the well known firm of 

 Richardson & Bobbins has brought suit 

 against one John P. Grier, a grower of 

 West Dover, Del., to compel him to live 

 up to his contract. This suit, it is said, 

 is but the beginning of many similar 

 actions to be brought against tomato 

 growers, and the seed trade, which has 

 had similar experiences, will watch tho 

 outcome with interest. 



MOTT-LY GLEANINGS. 



W. T. Philipps & Co., Toledo, O., have 

 experienced a good season, cleaning out 

 practically all lines of stock. Local 

 harvestings are better than usual; fine 

 samples of Bloomsdalo spinach and 

 clovers were noted. Mrs. Philipps, who 

 has been dangerously ill at the hospital 

 is gaining in health. 



S. M. Isbell & Co., of Jackson, Mich., 

 celebrated, during fair week, the occu- 

 pancy of their handsome store,- Tvhich, 

 with its twice double show windows, 

 is in the front rank of moilern design. 

 S. E. Beeman, who occupied a desk for 

 many years in the old building, men- 

 tioned that the new storehouse soon to 

 be completed will have every conve- 

 nience for the handling of the large
