T. A. BoYCE, of the Woodruff -Boyce 

 Seed Co., Seattle, Wash., has returned 

 home from a several weeks' business 

 trip. 



The annual meeting and election of 

 officers of the New England Seedsmen's 

 League is held this week, December 1, at 

 the Parker House, Boston. 



A. BuEMOND, of A. Bremond Fils, 

 Toulon, France, is a Chicago visitor this 

 week. His firm is one of tlie largest ex- 

 porters of French bulbs and M. Bremond 

 is looking over the ground for the 1922 

 deal. 



A FIXE fall business is reported by 

 Hart & Yick, Inc., of Rocliester, N. Y., 

 and it is expected to run well into the 

 winter. The demand for bulbs, the com- 

 l)any reports, has been considerably heav- 

 ier this year than it was last year. 



Among tlie arrivals on the steamer 

 Noordam, from IJotterdara, last week were 

 C. Westerbcek and J. P. Schmal, of the 

 Genernl Bulb Co., Vogelenzang, Holland. 

 Mr. Westerbcek reports no surplus of 

 Inilbs after the shipping season and states 

 that the fiill planting has been accom- 

 plished under ideal weather conditions. 



Newspapeks reported last week that 

 Charles Dickinson, whose aeronnutical 

 activities have su])])lauted those in the 

 seed trade, had landed in New York No- 

 vember 2G exactly eight hours after he 

 took off from Ashburn field, Chicago. Mr. 

 Dickinson, president of the Aero Club of 

 Illinois, acted as navigator. Four per- 

 sons accompanied him and no stops were 

 made. Mr. Dickinson, now 65 years of 

 age, is described in the public prints as 

 * * America 's oldest aviator. ' ' 



There arrived at New York during the 

 week ending November 19 96,400 i)ounds 

 of red clover from Germany and Italy; 

 119,500 alfalfa from Argentina; 125,600 

 rye grass and 12,100 rape from Great 

 Britain; 18,800 fescue from Australia and 

 49,500 vetch from Germany. Other com- 

 modities that arrived during the week 

 were 127,500 pounds of sunflower and 

 56,600 pounds of canary seed from Argen- 

 tina. The exports of seed from New 

 York were approximately 90,000 pounds 

 of timothy to Germany, and 3.3,600 pounds 

 of redtop and 45,000 pounds of alsike 

 clover seed to Great Britain. 



A PRODUCTION of soy beans equal to or 

 slightly larger and of cowpeas ten per 

 cent less than last year is indicated in re- 

 ports received by the bureau of markets 

 and crop estimates of the United States 

 Department of Agriculture. Increases in 

 the acreage of eacli of these crops reported 

 in a number of important producing sec- 

 tions in the cotton belt are offset by de- 

 creases in the yield per acre. In Illi- 

 nois, Indiana and Ohio, however, sub- 

 stantial increases are noted both in acre- 

 age and yield. The low yields of cow- 

 peas in southeastern Alabama and south- 

 western Georgia are attributed to drought 

 and damage by the Mexican bean beetle. 

 Harvesting of both crops is practically 

 completed and the movement of cowpeas 

 from growers' hands has already begun, at
