as to show plainly and conspicuously, as 

 part of the analysis, the percentage of 

 borax present." 



MOTT-LY GLEANINaS. 



C. E. Kendel, of A. C. Kendel's seed 

 store, Cleveland, O., was looking over 

 some invoices of foreign shipments of 

 seeds and bulbs and observed that by 

 accident he noticed that a war tax had 

 been charged on each bill of general 

 charges, whereas it should be on home 

 transportation alone. By taking the 

 matter up with the proper authorities 

 he succeeded in obtaining a rebate upon 

 each, amounting to considerable in 

 the total. Mr. Kendel opines that pos- 

 sibly many other importers have over- 

 looked this important item, as he had 

 done. If so, it is not too late to file 

 the claim for overcharge. 



Touching the American Seed Trade 

 Association's convention, to be held in 

 Milwaukee June 22 to 24, Mr, Kendel, 

 as secretary of the association, predicted 

 a highly interesting gathering, as from 

 correspondence received from some of 

 the leading journals, the various farm 

 bureaus propose to get into closer touch 

 with the seedsmen and consider this 

 time an excellent opportunity for so 

 doing. 



"We have sold exactly 200 canaries 

 in our first year of handling, ' ' observed 

 Manager C. E. Eotherham, of Wood & 

 Co., East Cleveland, O., "at prices run- 

 ning up to $40 apiece, few at less than 

 $25, and we feel much encouraged with 

 the results. Like any other line, this 

 business should have careful study. We 

 watch the birds and grade them. The 

 high rollers bring the top figures." It 

 was also stated that the home product 

 is fully equal to the imported bird, and 

 as the loss has run as high as twenty 

 per cent, owing to the long voyage, prices 

 will doubtless keep where they are, for 

 some time anyhow. The bulb depart- 

 ment reports- a great run on Narcissus 

 Paper White, running into the thou- 

 sands in small lots at retail. W. M. 



VELVET BEAN SUPPLY. 



With red clover and alfalfa exceed- 

 ingly high in price and soy beans climb- 

 ing up to the level of cow peas in cost, 

 velvet beans are being more largely 

 bought for forage planting in the south. 



The commercial supply of velvet beans 

 available for seed purposes is reported 

 by the Bureau of Markets of the De- 

 partment of Agriculture to be about 

 forty to fifty per cent greater than in 

 1919, although only about forty per cent 

 of normal. Shippers are paying to grow- 

 ers in the principial seed velvet bean 

 producing sections of southern Alabama 

 and Georgia $1.25 to $1.75 per hundred 

 pounds for velvet beans in the pod, and 

 $3.35 to $5 per hundred pounds for 

 hulled velvet beans, with the trend of 

 prices upward. 



Although over sixty per cent of the 

 crop is reported to have left the grow- 

 ers ' hands, about one-half of the reports 

 received indicate that the growers are 

 not selling their velvet beans freely at 

 this time, but have anticipated a 

 stronger demand and are holding for 

 higher prices. Shippers report an active 

 demand from dealers at most of the 

 large seed markets in the south. Many 

 dealers are buying large stocks of seed 

 velvet beans early, before all of the un- 

 hulled beans are bought by feed mills, 

 and no shortage is anticipated, as was 

 the case last year.
