Thlrty-flfth annual conyentlon. Detroit, Juna 19 

 to 21, 1917. 



This is proving the record year for the 

 houses that put out the box seeds. 



With tlie market on onion sets cleaned 

 iij), onion seed is now in strong demand. 



The spring weather has been the worst 

 the English, French and Dutch seed grow- 

 ers ever have experienced, cold and wet. 



One of the results of the war is a sur- 

 plus of tuberose bulbs. The usually large 

 exports were not made from the 1916 

 crop. 



Cable advices from Eotterdani inform 

 a New York house that shipments of 

 gladiolus bulbs recently have gone for- 

 ward via Scandinavian ports. 



Eeports from rural districts indicate 

 that country merchants are rapidly clean- 

 ing up their stock. The nation-wide pub- 

 licity that is being given to planting gar- 

 den seeds is having its effect. 



The onion set acreage in the Chicago 

 district is going out rapidly. In many 

 cases it is said to have been agreed that 

 payment for tlie crop shall be based on 

 market prices at time of harvest, with a 

 guaranteed minimum. 



The annual meeting of the Iowa Seed 

 Dealers' Association will bo lield at Des 

 Moines, June 12 and 13. The first day 

 will be devoted to association business, 

 followed by an entertainment at night, 

 and the second day will bo spent at Ames 

 College. 



The efforts necessary to get the acre- 

 age required for certain seed crops have 

 led to the belief that the farmer is demon- 

 strating his patriotism witli tlie crops 

 wliich are likely to yield him the biggest 

 profits, and potatoes, corn, wheat, navy 

 beans, etc., are more to his liking thaii 

 peas. 



Thk otlicr day H. W. Ruikboe escorted 

 liis friend, the editor of the Rockford Re- 

 public, through his seed warehouse and 

 shipping rooms, liis greenhouses and of- 

 fices, speeding the parting guest with the 

 injunction, "Now, don't write us up." 

 But the editor did, to the tune of a 

 couple of columns, "just to vindicate the 

 freedom of tlie press. ' ' 



The Michigan Bean Jobbers' Associa- 

 tion, in special session at Saginaw to dis- 

 cuss war-time food preparedness as it 

 will affect the 1917 bean crop of Michi- 

 gan, adopted a resolution pledging the 

 ineiiibers not to send any beans suitable 

 for seed purposes out of the state until 

 June 1, or until the growers have had time 

 to plant their crops. The association sent 

 :i telegram to I'resident Wilson that 

 ' ' Michigan will endeavor to produce 10,- 

 000,000 bushels of beans to feed the boys 

 in the trenches."
