REPORTING SERVICE ENDED. 



Tlic government 's reporting service 

 for the seed trade ended with tlie issue 

 of the Market Reporter for December 10. 

 Henry C. Wallace, secretary of the De- 

 partment of Agriculture, has issued this 

 statement: 



"Under a provision of the sundry 

 civil act of March 4, 1921, government 

 departments were required to suspend 

 publication of all periodicals except 

 those apj)roved by Congress by Decem- 

 ber 1, 1921. A resolution empowering 

 the congressional joint committee on 

 I)rinting to authorize the continuance or 

 discontinuance of these periodicals, 

 among them the Market Reporter, 

 passed the Senate but did not come to a 

 vote in the House before the adjourn- 

 ment of the last session of Congress. 

 The Market'Rcporter will, therefore, be 

 suspended beginning with the issue of 

 December 10 until its continuance is au- 

 thorized bv Congress 



WESTERN SEEDSMEN MEET. 



At Kansas City. 



Tlie midwinter convention of the 

 Western Seed Dealers' Association was 

 held Saturday, December 10, in the 

 Hotel Baltimore, Kansas City, Mo. 

 About sixty delegates Avere in attend- 

 ance. Fred Mangelsdorf, president, 

 called the meeting to order at 10 a. m. 

 After the usual routine was disposed of, 

 Mr. Mangelsdorf made an address on 

 "The Master Key,"' in which he briefly 

 reviewed the work of the association 

 for the last six months and launched 

 into the essential qualifications of a suc- 

 cessful business man. Character, the 

 ability to master and handle details, 

 conservation of energy, not only in him- 

 self but in liis workers, and a broad out- 

 look were named among the necessary 

 equipment of a business man. 



Charles Massie spoke on "Garden 

 Seeds." Mr. Massie anticipates a sat- 

 isfactory demand for s^eds of this kind 

 the coming year. He believes good re- 

 sults will follow, as the average house- 

 holder will find pleasure and economy in 

 planting a siiiull garden. 



J. List Pepjiard, of the Peppard Seed 

 Co., Kansas City, Mo., spoke on "Seed 

 Conditions." The great service of the 

 federal reserve bank system, not only to 

 seed dealers but to various branches of 

 business, was dwelt on by Mr. Peppard. 

 The federal reserve bank was humorous- 

 ly referred to as Noah's ark in the 

 present period of business adjustment, 

 the different lines of business being 

 likened to the animals carried in the 

 ark. 



Luncheon was served at 1 p. m. in the 

 Doric room of the hotel. 



Afternoon Program. 



J. W. Perry, of the Commerce Trust 

 Co., Kansas City, and Henry J. Waters, 

 editor of the Weekly Kansas City Star 

 and former dean of the Kansas State 

 Agricultural College, were the speakers 

 in the afternoon. 



Mr. Perry said it would take at least a 

 year's time for the farmer to pay back 

 indebtedness and that only the practice 

 of thrift and careful methods would put 

 him on his feet. Mr. Perry lately re- 

 turned from a visit to Europe. While 

 there, he was impressed with the won- 

 derful crops grown on small plots of 

 ground. He said he was impressed with 



Windmill Talks 

 on Bulbs 



. -^-a. 



^r 



Isn't it so, that bulbs are just bulbs to 

 some folks? 



The fonly difference they can see is 

 the difference in price. 



Those same folks, however, will swear 

 that their {boy is better than their 

 neighbor's.'; 



You pin them down to why he's bet- 

 ter, and they will finally say: "That 

 boy just GREW up. We BROUGHT 

 ours up." 



It's the same with bulbs. 



Some Holland bulbs grow up. 



Others are BROUGHT up. 



W^e sell the brought up kind. 



How painstakingly we bring them up, 



we are going to tell you in these 



Windmill Talks. 



Next one will be next week. It has a 



surprise for you.
