to thirty per cent less than last year be- 

 cause of the shortage of labor on truck 

 farms. Sales last year, however, were 

 not equal to those of a normal pre-war 

 year and sales this year are reported 

 to be ten to forty-five per cent less than 

 for a pre-war year, with the exception 

 of a few districts in some of the north- 

 western, western and southwestern 

 states. 



On the whole, the sales to home gar- 

 deners this year seem to be larger than 

 those of last year and of a normal pre- 

 war year, ranging from a five per cent 

 increase in some sections to fifty per 

 cent in others. 



In some of the northern states little 

 vegetable seed has been sold to date, 

 either to market or home gardeners. 

 This is not to be taken as an indication 

 of a falling off in sales, because nor- 

 mally the majority of sales are made by 

 seedsmen in those states later in the 

 season. 



There is no uniform increase or de- 

 crease in sales reported for any special 

 kind or kinds of vegetable seed. The 

 decrease in sales to market gardeners, 

 however, is restricted principally to 

 seed of those crops which require the 

 most hand labor in harvesting and pre- 

 paring for market. 



SALES CONTRACTS. 



A Lesson in Commercial Law. 



Every person whose daily business af- 

 fairs involve the formation of contracts 

 in the sale or purchase of goods should 

 have a clear idea of the fundamental 

 rules of law governing such agreements. 

 Stumbling through business negotia- 

 tions without knowledge of one 's legal 

 rights and the legal effect of what is 

 being done and never thinking of the 

 legal phases involved until it is time to 

 hire a lawyer to get out of difficulty, is 

 like avoiding precautions against the 

 flu, supposing that the doctor will be 

 able to keep us from slipping into the 

 grave. 



A practical lesson in commercial law 

 under this head is afforded in &. deci- 

 sion lately handed down by the Texas 

 Court of Civil Appeals in the case of 

 Knowlan Machine & Supply Co. vs. 

 Dittman & Harrison Co., 216 South- 

 western Reporter, 678. 



In this case, plaintiff was permitted 

 to recover damages for breach of a con- 

 tract to sell a car of seed g^rain; de- 

 fjnd-'nt failing in an attempt to show 

 that no binding agreement resulted be- 

 cause the contract, which was made by 

 defendant's representative, was not 

 confirmed.
