resignation of Howard M. Earl, of the 

 J'erome B. Hice Seed Co., Cambridge, 

 N. Y. 



The meeting was well attended and in 

 addition to the members there were 

 present a number of invited guests. 

 Conditions in general were discussed. 

 While there are shortages in a number 

 of lines, such as peas, many thought 

 that there was a moderate supply of 

 garden seeds, sufficient possibly to take 

 care of the extraordinary demand that 

 is being anticipated for next spring's 

 planting. There is a feeling in the 

 trade that a great deal of gardening will 

 be done in the spring of 1920 to help re- 

 duce the high cost of living. 



NEBRASKA'S SEED CBOPS. 



Some of the Nebraska vine seed crops 

 have been harvested and delivered, 

 mostly cucumber and muskmelon, but 

 not many of them are cleaned and tested 

 as yet. Most cucumbers are making fair 

 yields, but a few kinds are small yields, 

 according to William Emerson, of the 

 Western Seed & Irrigation Co. Musk- 

 melon shows small to fair yields, with 

 only a few kinds up to average yields. 

 Pumpkin and squash are being harvest- 

 ed and delivered to date. The out- 

 turn is hard to estimate, but nearly all 

 are less than the average yields and 

 some are total failures. 



Sweet, field and flint corn are fair 

 yields, but nearly all are less than aver- 

 age as to quantity. Quality is spotted, 

 good in some localities and fair to poor 

 in others, on account of drought check- 

 ing growth and late rains causing sec- 

 ond growth, with late setting of ears in 

 many cases and possibly immature ears 

 in some crops.
