Peas and beans cannot be low in price 

 80 long as farmers can get present prices 

 for food crops. 



There were 555 bags of seeds on S. S. 

 Manhattan, from London, which reached 

 New York last week. 



W. W. Johnson & Sons, Ltd., Boston. 

 England, have placed at the disposal of 

 the Belgian government $5,000 worth of 

 seeds for distribution among the Belgian 

 farmers and gardeners. 



Will someone, preferably a member of 

 the Federal Horticultural Board, please 

 tell us what menace to American agricul- 

 ture is to be found in the importation 

 of Dutch gladiolus bulbs? 



Ohio incorporations listed January 4 

 include that of the Toledo Bean & Seed 

 Warehouse Co., Toledo, with capital 

 stock scheduled at $25,000 and incorpora- 

 tors named as G. E. Forrester and E. B. 

 Slawson. 



The California seed growers are doing 

 less traveling than usual this year. They 

 might have booked all their 1918 acreage 

 by correspondence and several of them 

 think they can book, without leaving the 

 desk, anything they can grow for 1919. 



E. Jeknavorian and J. Tayian, of 

 San Francisco, have leased 120 acres of 

 the old J. T. Sternes place near Nuestro, 

 in Sutter county, Cal., with the intention 

 of starting in the seed growing business 

 in that section. This year they will plant 

 eighty acres of the tract to Telephone 

 peas for seed. The balance will be used 

 for experimental tobacco planting and 

 garden truck. 



It is reported that the office and ware- 

 house of the Chesmore Seed Co., St. 

 Joseph, Mo., have been removed to 210-12 

 South Third street and the retail store re- 

 established at 409 Felix street, one door 

 north of the former location of this 

 branch. This concern is starting the new 

 year with improved facilities for handling 

 its increasing volume of business, which 

 warranted expansion. 



CANKERS TO VISIT CHICAOO. 



The twelfth annual convention of the 

 National Canners' Association and its 

 allied trade organizations — the National 

 Canned Food and Dried Fruit Brokers' 

 Association, the machinery manufac- 

 turers and the Kraut and Pickle Pack- 

 ers' Association, together with the sev- 

 eral sections of specialized canning — 

 will be held next week at Hotel La 

 Salle, Chicago, with plane indicating an 

 unusually large gathering of the can- 

 ning fraternity. All the wholesale seed 

 houses catering to the canning trade 

 will have representatives there. 



The sessions open on Monday and will 

 continue through Friday. Plenty of so- 

 ciability has been provided and, as on 



1918
