WESTERN SEEDSMEN MEET. 



At Kansas City. 



The Western Seedsmen's Association 

 held a meeting at the Hotel Baltimore, 

 Kansas City, Mo., Saturday, November 

 (5. Fred Mangelsdorf, of the Mangels- 

 dorf Seed Co., Atchison, Kan., who was 

 elected president of the association last 

 May, delivered an address at the morn- 

 ing session. He outlined conditions of 

 the seed business, particularly during 

 the last six months, giving a compre- 

 hensive view of the problems that have 

 confronted the dealers in that time. 

 H. A. Johns, of the Sioux City Seed & 

 Nursery Co., Sioux City, la., a former 

 president of the assoeiati(«i ; F. W. T5ar- 

 teldes, of Lawrence, Kan.; M. Knrtz- 

 weil, of the Iowa Seed Co., Des Moines, 

 la.; Clifford Corneli, of the Schisler-Cor- 

 neli Seed Co., St. Louis, and J. C. Robin- 

 son, of Waterloo, Neb., also delivered 

 addresses. 



Mr. Kurtzweil suggested that seeds- 

 men watch closely tlie cost of supplies 

 and packets, as there seems no imme- 

 diate prospect of these items coming 

 down and they must be reckoned with 

 when it comes to quoting prices. 



Publicity. 



The subject of publicity received con- 

 siderable attention. This association is 

 connected with the American Seed Trade 

 Association in the publicity campaign, 

 which was tlie subject of a talk by A. M. 

 Eldridge. of tlie Henry Field Seed Co., 

 Shenandoah, Ta. Mr. Eldridge is the 

 representative of the Western Seeds- 

 men's Association in the publicity cam- 

 paign. He told the members that the 

 next few months would bring forth con- 

 siderable advertising of garden seed, 

 and newspapers are to be used as an 

 iidvertisiiig medium. Tlie success of the 

 florists' slogan, "Say It with Flowers," 

 and the amount of advertising they have 

 done has spurred the garden seed dealers 

 to greater efforts. Some of the field 

 seed men Iiintcd that they might put on 

 some sort of publicity canijiaign also. 



There was some discussion of trade 

 n('cei)tniices brought on by a talk by J. 

 G. Pejipard, of tlie J. G. Peppard Seed 

 Co., of Kansas City. He said that dis- 

 tributors sometimes ]iut stock where it 

 could not be properly handled, on ac- 

 count of trade acceptances, and the same 

 method sometimes caused purchases to 

 be made on artificially expanded credits. 

 It was the general opinion that seeds- 

 men could avoid trade acceptances by 

 arranging with their banks to pay casli 

 for their stocks. 



At the noon luncheon the address was 

 given by ex-Governor W. J. Bailey, of 

 Kansas, a director of the Federal Re- 

 serve Bank of the tenth district. In the 

 evening the Kansas City, Atchison and 

 Lawrence seedsmen were hosts to the 

 visiting mcinbors of the trade at a ban- 

 quet at the Hotel Savoy. 



Six firms were admitted to member- 

 sliip. The meeting was well attended,
