judged at the present time all of the 

 crops, none of which have been covered, 

 have been so thoroughly frozen as to 

 be a complete loss. 



In the section around Chehalis, where 

 the thermometer has dropped in the last 

 few days to 10 degrees below zero and 

 where none of the turnips have been 

 covered, there will imdoubtedly be 

 nothing left worth caring for. 



Altogether the seed industry of the 

 state of Washington, which experienced 

 such an increase during the last few 

 years, especially during the war, has 

 received a severe setback, especially with 

 regard to those crops which take two 

 years to produce seed, such as cabbage, 

 turnip, rutabaga, kale, beet, mangel, 

 etc. Only a few of the older and more 

 experienced farmers have saved their 

 / crops. 



Frank Leckenby, of the Chas. H. Lilly 

 f^,) Seattle, states that beets and 

 < inangels have been fairly well taken 

 care of, probably half of them being 

 pitted and covered sufficiently to have 

 been protected, but on account of the 

 unusually backward season a large pro- 

 portion of the cabbage had not been cov- 

 ered, and what was not covered will be 

 almost a total loss, so far as can be 

 judged at present. 



SUING A SEEDSMAN JOINTLY. 



Mxist Have Common Interest. 



The Alabama Supreme court has re- 

 versed judgment in favor of plaintiffs 

 in the case of Boykin et al. vs. Winter- 

 Loeb Grocery Co., 82 Southern Reporter, 

 437, in a suit in which plaintiffs seek 

 recovery for damages for claimed 

 breach of warranty by defendant in the 

 sale of certain seeds warranted to be 

 Texas Bibbon cane seed, but consisting 

 of a mixture of cane and broom corn 

 seed. The opinion permits a new trial 

 in the lower court, reversing the original 

 judgment on the ground that the trial 

 judge improperly prevented the jury 

 from passing upon the question whether 

 all the plaintiffs were parties to the 

 contract of sale in such sense as to make 

 it proper for them to sue jointly. The 

 salient parts of the decision on appeal 

 are as follows: 



Joint Vendees, Joint PlaintiiTs. 



"It is unquestionably the law that in 

 order for two or more parties to join in 

 an action upon a contract, there must be 

 community interest; that is, they must 

 be parties to the same and jointly in- 

 terested therein, though their interest 

 need not necessarily be equal. It is 

 also settled in this as well as many other 

 jurisdictions that, if Boykin made a 

 contract with the defendant for himself 

 and the other plaintiffs jointly, they 

 may join in an action for the breach of 

 same, notwithstanding the defendant 

 was ignorant of any interest the others 

 had in the contract. In order, however, 

 for these plaintiffs to maintain this 

 joint action, the contract that Boykin 

 made must have been made by him for 

 himself and as agent for the other plain- 

 tiffs, and not for himself only, with the 

 expectation of advancing or reselling 

 some of the seed to the other plaintiffs. 

 In other words, the other plaintiffs must 

 have been parties to the originnl pur- 

 chase and joint vendees with Boykin. 

 If these other plaintiffs were not original 

 vendees of the defendant, but Boykin 

 was the real and sole vendee of the 

 Winter-Loeb Co., and the other plain-
