Spring has come to many parts of the 

 country, but the seed business is lagging. 



Low prices offered by canners are caus- 

 ing growers to cut down their acreage of 

 t«mato for 1921. 



Frank Leckenby, vice-president of the 

 Charles H. Lilly Co., Seattle, Wash., had 

 the misfortune to lose his wife by death 

 last week. Two sons and a daughter sur- 

 vive. 



More extended report of the death of 

 C. R. Kimberlin, in this week's obituary 

 column, supplements the telegraphic in- 

 formation which appeared in last week's 

 issue. 



The death of W. W. Barnard, pioneer 

 seedsman of Chicago, occurred Thursday, 

 March 10, at Los Angeles, Cal. Fuller 

 report appears in the obituary column 

 of this issue. 



The oflScial roster of the May Seed 

 & Nursery Co., Shenandoah, la., is 

 as follows: President, E. S. Welch; vice- 

 president, E. E. May; secretary, I. B. 

 Bader; treasurer, B. G. Berry. 



The seed season of 1921, so far as mail 

 orders are concerned, seems to have 

 reached its peak earlier than in any 

 previous year, probably because of the 

 mild winter. Unless the season is pro- 

 longed by some factor not now in sight, 

 no records will be broken. 



Seedsmen who like statistics in their 

 advertising will be interested to learn 

 that a model farm garden, one-fifth acre 

 in size, conducted on the horticultural 

 grounds of the Missouri College of Agri- 

 culture, produced $132.79 at the cost of 

 $42, including labor. A small back yard 

 garden, one-twenty-fifth acre in size, pro- 

 duced $62.23 at the cost of $18.45, in- 

 cluding labor. 



SKAGIT VAT.T.F.Y GROWERS. 



At a meeting at Mount Vernon, Wash., 

 of the seed growers of Skagit vallej' 

 early in March, formal organization was 

 completed, and members of the new 

 association voted to set a price of 60 

 cents per pound on cabbage seed this 

 season. However, the board of direc- 

 tors was given the authority to change 

 this price in case they decided such a 

 move to be to the best interests of the 

 association. The officers of the Skagit 

 "Valley Seed Growers' Association are: 

 President, J. B. Hayton; vice-president, 

 H. L. Willis; secretary, J. M. Shields; 

 directors, Peter Samuelson, Lou Maupin 

 and Rasmus Kaudal. A committee 

 composed of H. L. Willis, J. M. Shields 

 and W. E. Jennings fras named to draw 

 up the form of contract to be used. 

 They will present this at the next 

 meeting. H. M. 



MOTT-LY GLEANINGS. 



Charles B. MacDonald, of Cadwell & 

 Jones, Hartford, Conn., commenting 

 upon the early appearance of creeping 

 things incidentally mentioned the story 

 of little Betty, who had been greatly 

 interested in watching the man in her 

 grandfather's orchard placing bands 

 around the fruit trees and asked 

 many questions. Some weeks later,
