is SO small that one or two Japanese 

 houses have concfived the idea of con- 

 trolling the crop. The cable reports 

 that these Japanese houses, or at least 

 one house, is bidding up. One com- 

 mentator states that the object may not 

 be the control of the crop, but may be 

 to benefit the native Japanese growers 

 without regard to the effect upon the 

 users of bulbs in other countries or the 

 ultimate effect ©n the growers in Japan. 

 Present indications are that giganteums 

 will cost something like $10 to $20 per 

 case more than last year. 



CROP BXTBEAUS COMBINED. 



As provided for by an act of Con- 

 gress, the Bureau of Markets and the 

 Bureau of Crop Estimates of the United 

 States Department of Agriculture were 

 combined and became one organization 

 July 1. The new bureau, now known 

 as the Bureau of Market! and Crop Es- 

 timates, will continue the reporting of 

 seed crops as done lately by the Bureau 

 of Crop Estimates. 



Preparations for the merging of 

 these two important branches of the de- 

 partment have been going forward for 

 several months past, and the change 

 was effected without any perceptible 

 interruption in the business of either 

 organization. Leon M. Estabrook, who 

 had been chief of the Bureau of Crop 

 Estimates since 1913, was transferred 

 April 1 to tlie Bureau of Markets as as- 

 sociate cliief in order that he might 

 study the personnel of both bureaus and 

 work out ways .nnd means of combin- 

 ing the two to el i ruinate any possible 

 dujilication of work. 



Following the resignation of George 

 Livingston, wlio has been head of the 

 Bureau of Markets since 1920, Dr. H. 

 C. Taylor, chief of the oflSce of farm 

 management, has been appointed by 

 Secrot.'iry of Agriculture Wallace.
