News of tlic death of George W. 

 Wright, jiresident of the Dunkirk Seed 

 Co., Dunkirk, N. Y., appears in the obit- 

 UMry column this week. 



The Ross Seed Co., Wihnington, Del., 

 has been incorporated for $250,000, the 

 incorporators being Alfred Chescheir and 

 Genevieve Chescheir, of Pewee Valley, 

 Ky., and George M. Chescheir, of Louis- 

 ville, Ky. 



The acreage in sugar beets in Ger- 

 many during 1921 exceeds that of 1920 

 by 149,730 acres. The total area sowed 

 to sugar beets in 1921 is placed at 818,- 

 024 acres, as compared with 668,294 acres

C. R. Root, president of the Colorado 

 Seed Co., Denver, spent a couple of days 

 in Chicago last week after having made 

 an eastern trip following the St. Louis 

 convention. He went to his old home at 

 Rockford, 111., to spend the week-end 

 with his sister. 



Recent rains in Wisconsin arrived in 

 time to save the major portion of the 

 sweet pea pack, according to an import- 

 ant. Wisconsin grower. The rain came 

 just in time to save the sweet peas from 

 the fate of the Alaska s, which packed 

 only thirty-five eases to the acre this 

 year. 



Cex.sus reports show a gain in the 

 value of canned vegetable products from 

 $84,414,000 in 1914 to $164,619,000 in 

 1919, or approximately ninety-five per 

 cent. The number of establishments in 

 the industry seem, however, to have 

 shrunk while the value of their output 

 increased. 



Not enough reports from pickle manu- 

 facturers have been received to deter- 

 mine definitely the acreage of cucumbers 

 for pickling compared with last year, 

 but the Department of Agriculture states 

 tlieie is a decided increase in Illinois, 

 Wisconsin and Michigan. A large in- 

 crease is sliown in Mississippi and in 

 Ohio. 



The following imported seeds arrived 

 at the port of New York during the week 

 ending July 2: 55,000 pounds of alfal- 

 fa from East Africa; 22,000 pounds of 

 red clover and 9,900 pounds of white 

 clover from Germany; 73,000 pounds of 

 crimson clover from France; and 16,500 

 pounds of rape from Holland. No arri- 

 vals were reported at Baltimore. 



W. P. Hall, president of the Hall 

 Seed Co., Louisville, Ky., reports that 

 the last season's business was good. The 

 company carries a general line of seeds 

 and the farmers in the territory do a 

 great deal of general farming, so that a 

 bad season in one line does not hurt the 

 business much. lie states that there 

 will ])robably be a shortage of blue grass 

 this year. 



.r. ^r. BciDfiEFORr), managing director 

 ot' W.-itkins & Simpson, London, England, 

 ]iass-ed through (Jliicago July 7 on his way 

 b;ick to New York after a visit to the 

 seed growers on the Pacific coast. He 

 sails for home July 23. This is Mr. 

 Rridgeford's first trip to America. He 

 .idniits having .seen many things of 

 interest, but says the impression that will 

 cling longest is the one created by the 

 great di?<tan('es in this countrv.
