FIBE AT BERRY'S. 



A fire which did about $200,000 dam- 

 age broke out in the building of the 

 A. A. Berry Seed Co., at Clarinda, la., 

 Friday morning, July 22. Of the loss 

 about $75,000 is on the buildings and 

 equipment and about $125,000 on the 

 stock. The business will be continued 

 during the rebuilding, which Avill start 

 as soon as the debris is cleared. 



The cause of the fire is unknown, but 

 it is believed to have started from elec- 

 tric wiring, an overheated motor or 

 friction from a belt. The company had 

 an extensive establishment. The ele- 

 vator, an iron and frame structure, 

 40 X 40 feet and about five stories in 

 height, where the fire started; an iron 

 and frame storage building, 40 x 50 

 feet and about three stories high, ad- 

 joining the elevator; an iron and frame 

 building, 28x50 feet, adjoined by a 

 double corn crib; a main building, 30 x 

 220 feet and three stories high; a 

 garage; a shipping shed, and a printing 

 plant constitute the buildings, all of 

 which were wholly or partly destroyed. 



CROP REPORT FROM HOLLAND. 



Plantings Restricted. 



Under date of July 16, Sluis & Groot, 

 of Enkhuizen, Holland, sent out the re- 

 port of the crop stands in that country. 

 The details of the report are as fol- 

 lows: 



"Owing to the abnormal condition 

 which are still prevailing, growers are 

 on the lookout to spend as little money 

 i\s possible for labor and other expenses. 

 Consequently, articles requiring much 

 labor are cultivated only on a limited 

 scale. 



"The plantings of flower seeds are con- 

 siderable, and the planting took place 

 under favorable weather conditions. On 

 account of the long-continued drought, 

 the plants of the annual varieties have 

 not developed sufficiently and, conse- 

 quently, the growth is a slight one. If 

 the weather keeps dry during the com- 

 ing months, a good crop may be ex- 

 pected. A spell of wet weather during 

 harvesting time would promote the 

 after-growth and do much damage. 

 The biennials ])roniise a gtiod crop, with 

 the exception of myosotis. which has 

 suffered a great deal from insect dam- 

 age."
