The government reports that to June 1 

 6,885 curs of Bermuda onions had been 

 moved out of Texas, against a total move- 

 ment of 4,903 cars in 1916. 



In spite of the reported arrangement 

 by which exports will be resumed, the

This week's mail from Japan brings 

 word that the lily bulb market there is

H. W. BucKBEE served as a special 

 deputy United States marshal in dealing 

 with the slacker riot at Rockford, 111., 

 last week. He was one of the guard who

George W. Kerr, of W. Atlee Burpee 

 & Co., has just returned to Philadelphia 

 after a trip to California and is enthu- 

 siastic relative to Burpee's early-flower- 

 ing sweet peas being grown there, pro- 

 duced from crosses made by him at Ford- 

 hook Farms. In spite of rather unfavor- 

 able weather conditions at the beginning 

 of the season, the crops are looking well. 

 Although there have been reports of the 

 depredations of aphis among the growing 

 crops of sweet peas along the coast, he 

 says he states with pleasure that, by 

 constant hard work, they have kept this 

 pest in check. 



IOWA SEEDSMEN CONVENE. 



What with a good season behind them 

 and a prosperous future before them, it 

 was a happy crowd of Hawkeye seeds- 

 men who assembled at Des Moines June 

 12 for the annual meeting of the Iowa 

 Seed Dealers' Association. Although 

 the high water kept many away, accord- 

 ing to Secretary Eldridge, there were 

 plenty of help to "put over" a splendid 

 session. 



The balloting for new officers resulted 

 in the choice of the following: Presi- 

 dent, F. H. Page, of the Iowa Seed Co., 

 Des Moines; vice-president, C. E. Ather- 

 ton, of Deep Eiver; secretary, A. M. 

 Eldridge, of the Henry Field Seed Co., 

 Shenandoah, reelected; treasurer, John 

 T. Hamilton, of Cedar Rapids, reelected. 



A banquet was held after the business 

 session June 12 and the following day 

 most of those who attended made a trip 

 to Ames to get in touch with the work 

 being done at the agricultural college.
