satisfactory, and crop prospects accord- 

 ingly are excellent. 



No doubt every seed house can cut 

 down the catalogue to some extent with- 

 out impairing its selling value. It should 

 be given careful attention. 



The season has been backward in the 

 middle west. Cold and continued rains 

 have kept planting operations back from 

 ten days to three weeks later than usual, 

 but it has prolonged the mail-order seed 

 season. 



Seedsmen have been unwilling to lower 

 their prices on millets and sorgos because 

 they look for a good demand later on. 

 Furthermore, prices for these' seeds this 

 year, except Japanese and Hungarian 

 millet, are lower than those of last year, 

 whereas most other kinds of seeds are 

 considerably higher than last year. 



Of the $17,508,125 worth of seeds ex- 

 ported by Russia in the latest year be- 

 fore the war, 1913, approximately $10,- 

 600,000 were oil seeds, $5,000,000 forage 

 grass seeds, and $2,000,000 beet and 

 other seeds. To the United States came 

 a total of $83,675 worth, including $12,- 

 650 oil seeds, $52,625 grass seeds and 

 $18,400 beet and other seeds. 



WESTERN SEEDSMEN ELECT. 



The Western Seedmen's Association 

 held its annual meeting at the Hotel 

 Fontanelle, Omaha, Neb,, Saturday, 

 May 1, v^ith an extra large attendance. 

 The meeting, because of the many se- 

 rious problems confronting the trade, 

 was unusually interesting. 



The election of officers resulted as 

 follows: 



President — Fred Mangelsdorf, Atchi- 

 son, Kan. 



"Vice-president — Carl Chesmore, St. 

 Joseph, Mo. 



Secretary — Howard Webster, Inde- 

 pendence, la. 



Treasurer — H. G. Windheim, Omaha, 

 Neb. 



LISTING THE LAPSES. 



One of the results of an oversupply 

 of certain kinds of seeds, with which 

 growers are heavily stocked, has been 

 to send some of them searching for out- 

 lets. And, naturally, when the whole- 

 sale seed houses are found to be stocked 

 up and temporarily out of the market 

 the next step is to seek the seed re- 

 tailers, from whom it is only a step to 

 the seed planters. There is, of course, 

 no claim that a grower should not also 

 be a wholesaler and retailer if he will, 

 but there are many wholesale and retail 

 seedsmen who feel that their own orders 

 would better be placed in support of 

 the concerns which do not enter into 

 ■competition with them.
