Some of the early varieties, such as 

 Pearls and Bermudas, have already been 

 harvested and are so small it takes so 

 many to make a bushel that the yield 

 per acre has been reduced to a small 

 amount. Good judges think there will 

 be not more than three or four bushels of 

 sets to a pound of seed planted, and 

 some growers around Chicago contend 

 that in certain sections, where there 

 were no showers to speak of, the yield is 

 even much smaller, so at the best they 

 do not expect more than half a crop ot 

 onion sets, and they may not turn out 

 that good, so it looks as though onion 

 sets should be good property this year.

, COUNSEL'S LEGAL BEPOBT. 



Since the June conventions of the 

 Seed Trade Association, bills or admin- 

 istrative orders of interest to seedsmen 

 have been filed or proposed as follows: 



July 15, 1919, occurred a hearing be- 

 fore the Federal Horticultural Board, 

 Department of Agriculture, at Washing- 

 ton, D. C, on the matter of a proposed 

 quarantine restricting or prohibiting the 

 movement from the states of Indiana 

 and Illinois of wheat, oats, barley and 

 rye; and from the states of Virginia, 

 West Virginia and Georgia of wheat, 

 oats, rye, spelt and emmer. 



The alleged reasons for these quaran- 

 tines (under authority of the federal 

 plant quarantine act of August 20, 1912) 

 are three dangerous diseases, namely, 

 flag smut, take-all, and the wheat 

 nematode or eelworm, alleged to exist 

 in said states and not heretofore widely
