with the exemptions from th§ provisions 

 of the act, reading: 'When seeds are 

 not sold from a place of business where 

 agricultural seeds are kept for sale, as 

 such, it shall be presumptive evidence 

 that such seeds were not sold or exposed 

 for sale for seeding purposes.' 



"This exemption would permit the 

 farmers to buy seeds from other people 

 and sell them, which would act as a 

 discrimination against the seed dealer, 

 and we have asked that this clause be 

 eliminated. 



' ' Have written Mr. Witter, author of 

 the bill, calling his attention to these 

 objections, and think if we secure the 

 desired modifications, a hearing would 

 not be necessary and the bill could be 

 adopted." 



ONION SETS TO ENGLAND. 



Everette R. Peacock Co., Chicago, has 

 made a number of successful shipments 

 of onion sets to England, amounting in 

 all to several carloads. A specially 

 made ventilated octagon container is 

 used, the sets are packed in excelsior 

 and the boxes reinforced with metal 

 bands. The foreigners have in every 

 case reported satisfactory arrival and 

 an extensive export has now developed 

 in onion sets to Europe. 



Mr. Peacock states that seed stocks to 

 cover five times the business of last sea- 

 son have already been received and at 

 present over thirty employees are busy 

 in the actual handling of seed orders 

 and filling packets. The company has 

 estimated its small seed packet require- 

 ments at over one million packets. Of 

 this amount half are put up. 



PAOIFIO COAST SEED NOTES. 



The early planting of radish in the 

 Sacramento river seed-growing section 

 of California was damaged to a consid- 

 erable extent by prolonged cold weather. 

 Much of the acreage had to be re- 

 planted. The frost coming at this early 

 date, the yield of seed probably will not 

 be affected, however. 



A pure seed bill has been introduced 

 in the present session of the California 

 state legislature. It provides for a di- 

 vision of seed inspection within the 

 office of State Commissioner of Horti- 

 culture, the appointment of a botanist 

 to take charge thereof and an appropria- 

 tion to carry out the provisions of the 

 act. M- M- 



TEBMS OF AOBEEMENT. 



Should Be Written. 



A special reason why the terms of 

 every business transaction should be 

 stated in writing, when practicable, ap- 

 pears in a decision handed down lately 

 by the Minnesota Supreme court in the 

 case of the Caldwell Milling & Elevator 

 Co. vs. L. L. May & Co., Inc., 169 North- 

 western Reporter, 797. 



The plaintiff sued to recover the 

 agreed price of a quantity of onion seed 

 sold and delivered to defendant. Lia- 

 bility was resisted on the ground that 

 the plaintiff was guilty of a breach of 

 warranty as to the quality of the seed, 

 it being claimed that the goods were sold 

 on a verbal warranty that at least nine- 

 ty-five per cent of the seed would grow, 

 whereas less than fifty per cent ger- 

 minated. 



At the trial, the plaintiff's salesman
