Mention The Review when you write. 



the firm has had to move into the en- 

 tire second floor of the new address, 

 in order to have adequate room. 



Almost the whole business of the firm 

 is done with the market gardeners in 

 the vicinity of Chicago, including the 

 great majority of the 3,000 gardeners 

 who supply Chicago with fresh vege- 

 tables. Mr Sluis expects that the sum- 

 mer trade will continue fairly steady. 

 He believes that, especially in the case 

 of farmers who are planting much oats 

 and corn, the lateness of the season has 

 delayed the planting of the oats until 

 time for the corn and that the two 

 have to go into the ground at about 

 the same time; this, with the scarcity 

 of farm labor, will bring it about that 

 not enough care can be given to the 

 corn or to the other crops. Where weed- 

 ing or cultivating has been inadequately 

 done, the ground will have to be plowed 

 over and a fresh demand for seeds will 

 result. And Mr. Sluis has other rea- 

 sons for viewing the future compla- 

 cently. 



As to the farm labor market, however, 

 he sees little ground for immediate 

 hope. The city can offer higher wages 

 than the country and, in reputation if 

 not in fact, has other attractions for 

 young people. So that the consumers of 

 seeds are finding their activities seri- 

 ously handicapped, a difficulty likely to 

 continue for some time. 



FACTORS IN CANNERS' FIELD. 



Factors affecting seedsmen tliis sea- 

 son through the canncrs' industry are 

 outlined in the monthly review of the 

 Chicago Federal Reserve Bank, which 

 puts the situation tlius: 



"Careful investigation among the 

 leading canners in Illinois, Indiana, 

 Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin reveals 

 considerable recovery by the canning 

 industry, which felt seriously the com 

 petition caused by the dumping of the 

 surplus stocks of the War Department 

 on the market at much less than the 

 cost of production, especially tomatoes. 

 Not an unusually large stock is being 

 carried over in most instances, but the 

 present demand for spot delivery is far 

 below the normal for this season. 



"The chief difficulty in this industry, 

 as far as the future is concerned, is 

 the decrease in acreage in all states ex- 

 cepting Wisconsin, and more especially 

 in Michigan and Indiana, devoted to the
