Inspecting Onion Set Crops. 



After adjournment of the convention 

 the Everette E. Peacock Co. took the 

 members in automobiles for a trip to the 

 company's farms and trial grounds. 

 About thirty touring cars carrying 

 about 175 visiting seedsmen, represent- 

 ing firms in all parts of the United 

 States and Canada, took part in this ex- 

 cursion. Motorcycle pclicemen led the 

 procession. A refreshment stand had 

 been erected in the large Varehouse and 

 tastefully decorated. Young ladies from 

 the ofl&ce force dispensed refreshments. 



Several interesting exhibits had been 

 arranged, such as the packet sealing 

 machine of the Amer{|Ean Machinery Co., 

 also the seed scale in operation. The 

 Beeman Tractor Co. operated two ma- 

 chines showing the usefulness of this 

 machine for the truck gardener. The 

 Stuebrig Truck Co. demonstrated its 

 hydraulic hand truck, with which a load 

 of seed weighing two tons was easily 

 handled by one man. Several other in- 

 teresting features, such as a portable 

 mill with a capacity for cleaning 2,500 

 bushels of onion sets, were shown. The 

 Peacock concern has 110 acres under 

 cultivation on this farm and all visitors 

 expressed themselves as highly pleased 

 with what they saw. 



From the farm the party proceeded to 

 the House That Jack Built, where an ex- 

 cellent dinner was served, with music. 

 Among the many well known seedsmen 

 present were Frank Bolgiano, former 



£ resident of the association, and E. C. 

 lungan, newly elected president. So 

 that everybody would know who was 

 who, a card was placed at each plate 

 and was signed by the guests. These 

 cards were assembled and Mr. Peacock 

 called the names of those present, to 

 which each guest responded and re- 

 ceived hearty applause. Mr. Dungan 

 expressed the appreciation of those 

 present, and Mr. Cobb, of D. M. Ferry 

 & Co., made some appropriate remarks. 

 The party returned by way of Hubbard 

 Woods and along Lake Michigan 's beau- 

 tiful north shore. 



ASPECTS OF SEED CONTROL. 



[A paper read by W. A. Wheeler, in charge 

 of the Seed Reporting Service, Bureau of Mar- 

 kets, U. S. Department of Agriculture, before 

 the annual convention of the Wholesale Grass 

 Seed Dealers' Association at Chicago, June 23, 

 1919.] 



In considering the subject of seed 

 control in any of its phases, it is most 

 desirable to hold in mind the legitimate 

 functions of the various branches of the 

 seed business, and to recognize that 

 every assistance possible should be ren- 

 dered seedsmen in the performing of 

 these functions, in order that they may 

 render the greatest possible service to
