Seed Trade News 



AMERICAN SEED TRADB ASSOCIATION. 

 President, Ik L. Olds, Madison, Wis.: necre- 

 tary-treasurer, C. B. Kendel, CleTeland, 0. 



How to get down to the farmers' level 

 in the matter of prices is puzzling seeds- 

 men. Seeds are down, but overhead still 

 is far above pre-war levels. 



A FINAL dividend has been filed by the 

 receiver for J. Bolgiano & Co., Balti- 

 more, as noted under the heading, ' ' Busi- 

 ness Embarrassments," in this issue. 



General Rennie, president of the Een- 

 nie Seed Co., of Toronto, Ont., who was 

 running for mayor at the recent elections 

 there, was defeated by a small majority. 



The 1921 production of lespedeza seed 

 is expected to be ten per cent less than 

 that of last year. Reports indicate lower 

 yields per acre in practically all produc- 

 ing sections. 



The catalogues for the southern trade 

 are going into the mails in considerable 

 quantities, with prospect of moderately 

 good response, because of improved con- 

 ditions in the cotton states. 



Notice of the death of Everett E. 

 Bruggerhoff, head of the defunct seed 

 firm of J. M. Thorburn & Co., New York, 

 who died suddenly December 6, appears in 

 the obituary column of this issue. 



Morris S. Smith, formerly with W. 

 W. Barnard Co., the Madson Seed Co., 

 and, recently, Vaughan's Seed Store, 

 has been appointed secretary and man- 

 ager of the Oshkosh Seed Co., Oshkosh, 

 Wis., in which Everette E. Peacock, Chi- 

 cago, holds the principal interest. 



The seed trade finds little encourage- 

 ment in the monthly sales reports pub- 

 lished by the Chicago general mail-order 

 houses. As an index to rural ability 

 or inclination to spend money, the reports 

 of reduced sales by Sears and Ward af- 

 ford small hope of a big seed season soon 

 to open. 



The first calendar for 1922 to arrive 

 is that of Tromp Bros., Lisse, Holland. 

 A handsome view of one of the firm's 

 bulb farms at Lisse shows the single tulip, 

 White Hawk, and the village in the back- 

 ground. To the sheet carrying this, per- 

 forated sheets bearing the calendar for 

 each month are hand-tied with a bow of 

 orange cord. 



Wisconsin again holds first place in 

 canned pea production, with a 1921 out- 

 put of 4,063,000 cases. This figure, how- 

 ever, is lower than that for 1920, which 

 was 5,804,000 cases, the largest output on 

 record. New York ranks second with 

 more than one and a third million cases 

 to her credit. The grand total of all the 

 states is over 8,000,000 cases. 



Denmark has long occupied a high 

 position among those countries which de- 

 vote a considerable area to the produc- 

 tion of seed crops; it is, therefore, in- 

 teresting to find from official reports that 

 during the present year there were in 

 that country 1,500 acres of mangel; sugar 

 beet, 2,441; Swede turnip, 1,922; English 

 turnip, 2,132; carrot, 297; cabbage, 593; 

 cauliflower, 109; other cabbage seeds, 

 257; other garden seeds, 319; red clover, 

 1,609; yellow trefoil, 1,124; other 

 legumes, 1,186; orchard grass, 24,060; 

 English rye grass, 3,585; Italian rye 

 grass, 2,874; meadow fescue, 5,851; 

 Drome grass, 1,001; other grass seeds, 

 872 acres. This gives a total of 51,732 

 acres.
