From a condition of world oversupply 

 wc seem to be swinging into a position 

 where an active demand for seeds would 

 create a condition of worldwide scarcity. 



Frank Stepj'ax, formerly with the 

 tiivingston Seed Co., of Columbus, O., is 

 now in charge of the seed department 

 at the Wilson Seed & Floral Co., of that 

 city. 



As receiver for Artluir T. Boddington 

 & Co., New York, against whom a petition 

 in bankruptcy was filed by H. Langeler, 

 Judge Mayer appointed Benjamin Bern- 

 stein under bond of $1,000. 



The Lakeview Bulb Nurseries, of Kirk- 

 land, Okla., have been incorporated w^ith 

 a capitalization of $50,000. The in- 

 corporators are John Van Aalst, E. R. 

 Peterson and Gertrude Van Aalst. 



In planning the 1922 catalogues, seeds- 

 men find it possible to buy paper at lower 

 prices than those paid last year, but other 

 costs remain at the peak. Printing is not 

 cheaper except where someone cuts prices 

 for an immediate job to keep a plant 

 running. 



The tomato seed crop on t!ie Pacific 

 coast is not so promising as it was recent- 

 ly reported. A. B, Haven, president of 

 the Haven Seed Co., Santa Ana, Cal., 

 states that it has gone off considerably 

 of late and does not promise so large a 

 yield per acre as last year. This year's 

 acreage is half of last year's. 



The National Canners' Association an- 

 nounces the annual pea can as 8,207,000 

 cases for 1921, as against 12,317,000 for 

 1920. By states the record for 1921 was : 

 Wisconsin, 4,063,000; New York, 1,382,- 

 000; Michigan, 317,000; Indiana, 182,- 

 000; Maryland, 533,000; Ohio, 241,000; 

 Delaware and New Jersey, 345,000 ; Utah, 

 376,000; California, 84,000; Illinois, 331,- 

 000; all other states, .'{nS.OOO. 



There has been a free movement of 

 crimson clover seed in Tennessee, Ala- 

 bama and Maryland producing sections 

 during the past three weeks, and only 

 about ten to fifteen per cent of the supply 

 produced is stUl in the hands of growers. 

 The price being paid to growers, according 

 to reports submitted to the bureau of mar- 

 kets and crop estimates of the Depnrt- 

 ment of Agriculture iibout August 23, 

 ranged from $8.50 to $9.50 per hundred 

 pounds in Tennossc(>, $9 in Alabama and 

 $10 in Mnryland, basis clonn seed, which 

 is $1 to $2 per hundred imniids higher 

 than tliroe weeks ago. 



The total movement of oaiitnloupcs 

 from tlie Kocky Ford district of Colorado 

 for tliis season was ostimatod August 31 

 at from 2,000 to 2,-JOO rars, coinparcMl 

 with a total movement last year of 2,453 

 cars. After September 1 tlic movoment 

 is expected lo decrease, altliougli luodcratr 

 shipments, including both Pink Meats 

 and Honey Dews, are expected to con- 

 tinue tludugliout the greater jiart of the 

 month. Tlie original acreage tliis sea- 

 son was around 7,500 acres, but this area 

 now is not over 6,000 acres, the decrease 

 being due chiefly to floods, hail and rust. 

 In most district.s the rust is especially 

 noticeable on Honey Hows, although in
