one or two districts the Salmon Tints 

 are also affected. The prevalence of rust 

 during August indicates a short season 

 for this latter variety. 



Threshing of alfalfa seed was just be- 

 ginning in the Pecos valley of New Mex- 

 ico and Texas during the week ending 

 August 27. The third crop instead of the 

 second one will contribute the bulk of the 

 1921 production of alfalfa seed, not only 

 in this section, but in Kansas and Okla- 

 homa as well. The quality of the 1921 

 crop gives promise of being better than 

 that of last year. 



During the week ending August 27 

 about 104,000 pounds of timothy, 62,697 

 pounds of redtop and 33,000 pounds of 

 alsike clover seed were exported from New 

 York and Baltimore to Germany. There 

 arrived during the same week at New 

 York about 264,000 pounds of red clover, 

 66,000 of alfalfa, 278,000 of orchard 

 grass, 54,000 of rape, 110,000 of canary, 

 and 310,000 of sunflower seed. 



The Barteldes Seed Co., of Oklahoma 

 City, Okla., has announced the sale of 

 its retail store, at 320 West Main street, 

 to the Batten Floral & Seed Co. The 

 owners of the new store are C. E. Franke 

 and C. A. Batten. Mr. Batten, who will 

 be the manager of the new store, has been 

 with the Stiles Floral Co. for the last 

 fourteen' years. Mr. Franke has been a 

 florist and landscape gardener since 1880. 

 The interior of the store will be re- 

 modeled and new fixtures will be installed 

 in the flower department. 



DICKINSON, AVIATOR. 



Charles Dickinson, formerly president 

 of the Albert Dickinson Co., is de- 

 voting his increased leisure to his latest 

 hobby, aviation. Years ago, when the 

 phonograph was young, Mr. Dickinson 

 made it his plaything. Then it was the 

 automobile, but neither of these has 

 held his interest as the airship is doing. 

 Mr. Dickinson, who was born May 28, 

 1858, is president of the Aero Club of 

 Illinois and the oldest pilot in its mem- 

 bership and probably in America. 

 Labor day the club hold a race meet, in 

 which nine pilots started. Mr. Dickin- 

 son came in fifth, only two minutes be- 

 hind the winner, after having flown fifty 

 miles and touched the wheels of his un- 

 der carriage on four landing fields en 

 route, without mishap.

 report, and vine crops, especially cucum-

Before the above information was re- 

 ceived the J. C. Eobinson Seed Co. had 

 issued its September report of corn and 

 vine seed crop conditions, which de- 

 scribed the situation in regard to these 

 items as follows: 



Field and sweet corn. — Eastern Nebraska lias 

 one of the finest corn crops in years. Plenty 

 of moisture has developed a strong, sturdy 

 plant that should produce healthy, normal ears
