with true dill. Pickling houses using 

 this cheaper seed will probably damage 

 their pickles to a great extent. It sells 

 for 50 cents to $1 per pound. 



Navy beans for seed purposes are 

 bringing $14 per bushel. Common eating 

 stock sells readily for $11.50 to $12 per 

 bushel. 



According to A. H. Smith, of the 

 Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, there is as yet 

 practically no let-up in the orders daily 

 coming in. Filling-in orders arrive al- 

 most as heavily as during the earlier part 

 of the season. The company disposed of 

 a large number of hogs from its La 

 Grange farm May 11 at $16.20 per hun- 

 dred pounds, the top market price at the 

 time. These hogs were fattened, for the 

 most part, on seed screenings. John 

 Leonard is back from a trip to Excelsior 

 Springs, Mo., where he recuperated after 

 the stremiousness of an exceptionally 

 busy season. 



CONFERENCE AT WASHINGTON. 



On invitation of the Secretary of 

 Agriculture, representatives of the 

 American Seed Trade Association and 

 the Wholesale Grass Seed Dealers' Asso- 

 ciation held a conference with represen- 

 tatives of the Department of Agricul- 

 ture at Washington May 10. The whole 

 subject of seed supply for this season 

 and succeeding seasons was gone over. 



President K. B. White called a meet- 

 ing of the executive committee of the 

 Seed Trade Association for May 9 and 

 obtained an almost full attendance. 

 There also were a number of others 

 present, among them C C. Massie, of 

 Northrup, King & Co., Minneapolis; 

 W. D. Weedy, general manager of John 

 A. Salzer Seed Co., La Crosse, Wis., and 

 George S, Greene, of the Illinois Seed 

 Co., Chicago. 



CANABY ISLAND ONION SEED. 



The outlook at this date for the 

 Canary Island onion seed crop is ex- 

 cellent, both as to quality and quantity, 

 according to data supplied the United 

 States consulate by leading growers. 

 The 1917 crop has suffered little from 

 the blight, which in recent years has 

 done much damage. 



As regards quantity, this year's crop 

 is said to be uncommonly large, plant- 

 ing having been much stimulated by 

 the success of last season's record crop, 

 when the exports to the United States 

 reached a value of $84,314. Favorable 

 growing conditions have prevailed, espe- 

 cially as regards rainfall, for the large 

 "secano," or unirrigated, onion seed 

 acreage. Present estimates appear to 

 indicate seed in excess of the 74,987 

 pounds produced last year. 



Conditions seem to indicate the proba- 

 bility of falling prices as soon as the 

 effects of a large crop are felt in the 

 market. A stock of the 1916 white, or 

 wax, seed is reported to exist, and buy- 

 ers would do well to carefully specify 

 in all contracts for strictly 1917 seed, 

 as 1-year-old seed, it is claimed, fails 

 to give as good results as the strictly 

 fresh article. 



On account of the unusual conditions 

 governing international trade, the bal- 

 ance of exchange is heavily against the 

 dollar and in favor of the peseta. Con- 

 sequently American buyers should, when 

 possible, have all prices specified in 

 terms of United States coin. 



It has also been suggested as ad- 

 vantageous for American buyers to
