Exports of onion seed from the Canary 

 islands to the United States in 1920 

 amounted to 63,014 pounds, valued at 

 $103,360. 



City seed houses have not been able to 

 secure enough bedding plants to meet the 

 strong demand. Last week saw a short- 

 age in many stores. 



It is reported that many farmers in 

 the northwest are inclined to plow under 

 or cut their sweet clover for hay instead 

 of harvesfting it for seed. 



Stocks of red clover were further in- 

 creased by the arrival at New York of 

 560,000 pounds from France and 95,000 

 pounds from Germany last week. 



The members of the W. W. Barnard 

 Co., Chicago, who will attend the meeting 

 of the Southern Seedsmen's Association 

 at Memphis, Tenn., June 20 and 21, are 

 E. B. Howe, the president, and H. A. 

 Dertoli. 



Warm weather last week increased the 

 briskness of trade in Chicago stores. At 

 the store of the W. W. Barnard Co. the 

 available boys and girls were brought 

 from the stockroom and office to help out 

 with counter trade. 



Garden seed planting need not end 

 with the spring days. A great many seeds 

 can be planted after the summer sets in. 

 This fact should be told emphatically 

 and often to the public. It will help to 

 enliven the summer slow spell. 



Whbn seedsmen were in greatest need 

 of strong sales effort, there has been this 

 spring a marked shrinkage in their adver- 

 tising. Puzzled by the weather, the public 

 needed the seedsmen 's urging when plant- 

 ing time came, and, receiving it not, 

 neglected the garden. 



The officers of the Southern Seedsmen 's 

 Association, which will meet at Memphis 

 June 20 and 21, are: President, E. A. 

 Martin, Jacksonville, Fla. ; first vice-presi- 

 dent, K. B. Buchanan, Memphis, Tenn.; 

 second vice-president, Dick O'Bannon, 

 Claremore, Okla. ; secretary -treasurer, 

 Frank S. Love, Montgomery, Ala. 



New crop domestic crimson clover seed 

 will be a small factor in the commercial 

 supply again this year, according to re- 

 ports submitted to the United States 

 Bureau of Markets. The production in 

 south central Tennessee, the heaviest pro- 

 ducing section during the last four years, 

 is expected to be even less than last year 

 because of the reduced acreage to be har- 

 vested for seed. The yield per acre, how- 

 ever, will probably be more nearly normal 

 and in some instances greater than in 

 1920. Harvesting of the seed crop begins 

 this week and local shippers are prepared 

 to offer $7 to $8.25 per hundred pounds 

 for country-run seed. 



BAIN AIDS LOS ANQELES. 



Since May 19 there has been an al- 

 most continual rainfall in and around 

 Los Angeles, the rain gauge showing 

 from two to four inches in the variotis 

 parts of this county. This is the high- 

 est gauge shown at one fall for two or 

 three seasons and such a storm is quite 

 exceptional in California during the lat- 

 ter part of May. There was no rain
