A. E. KuNDERD, of grladiolus fame, has 

 just issued the first wholesale trade list 

 of his originations lie ever has sent out. 



Next week the convention of the "Wis- 

 consin Canners' Association will draw a 

 number of seedsmen to Milwaukee Novem- 

 ber 7 to 10 and afterwards to, Chicago for 

 the meeting of the Western Canners' As- 

 sociation, November 11 and 12. 



Some of the railroads, not waiting for 

 the order of the Interstate Commerce 

 Commission, have voluntarily reduced 

 freight rates on seeds. The reduction on 

 the Long Island railroad since the com- 

 mission authorized the big increase of 

 August, 1920, has amounted to twenty- 

 eight per cent. 



October brAught the skirmish line of 

 the Dutch expeditionarv force and the 

 main body is not far behind, the invasion 

 being hastened by the knowledge that 

 many of the scouts already have pene- 

 trated to the middle west. The ammuni- 

 tion consists of a ten per cent reduction 

 in prices as compared with last season. 



The rapid movement of the timothy 

 seed crop from growers' hands has slowed 

 up perceptibly. It is estimated that ap- 

 proximately eighty per cent of the crop 

 has been sold by growers. In Wisconsin, 

 North Dakota and Idaho the movement 

 has been much less tlian elsewhere, but 

 even in these sections it is normal or 

 above. 



E. F. Ball, who for the last fifteen 

 years has been manager of the commission 

 box department of C. C. Morse & Co., San 

 Francisco, Cal., died October 22 at his 

 home in San Francisco. Prior to his asso- 

 ciation with C. (". Morse & Co., Mr. Ball 

 hadgcharge of the commission box busi- 

 ness of E. ,T. Bowen, pioneer commission 

 box man of the Pacific coast. K. ,1. 

 Bowen was the uncle of Lem W. Bowen, 

 president of D. M. Ferry & Co. 



The annual meeting of the Vegetable 

 Growers' Associatioii of America is being 

 held this week in the Washington Armory, 

 Albany, N. Y., November 1 to .'>. The 

 market tour with which the meeting is to 

 close is a unique feature in the history 

 of the association. The convention will 

 move bodily to New York city on l^'riday 

 afternoon and will tour the markets that 

 night and Saturday morning under the 

 guidance of the state department of farms 

 and markets. 



Api'HOXimatelv ten per cent more of 

 the reil and ;ilsike clover seed croji was 

 sold by growers (luring the week ending 

 October 1.1 than had been sold uj) to 

 October 1. In general, only those grow- 

 ers who are in need of money are selling 

 their clover seed at ]irevailing ])rices. A 

 little less'than one-third of the 1921 crop 

 of red clover and somewhat less than one- 

 half of tlie alsike clover seed crop have 

 Vieen sold by growers. Kecent prices ])aid 

 for reil clover are higher, whereas those 

 paid for alsike clover are lower than at 

 the close of September. The quality of 

 the 1921 seed differs considerably in vari- 

 ous .sections and freciuently even in the 

 same section. In general the reports in-
