Changes in the Fordney tariff bill by 

 the Senate finance committee are reported 

 on a forward page of this issue. 



Chicago visitors last week included H. 

 H. Laughlin, of the Laughlin Seed Co., 

 San Jose, Cal., and George Lucas, seed 

 farm superintendent. 



Walter Eichards, a grower of Jack- 

 son, Miss., has brought suit for $20,000 

 against D. M. Ferry & Co., Detroit, 

 claiming that he developed a new to- 

 mato variety for which the seed com- 

 pany failed to compensate him. 



Well informed persons say that the 

 acreage under onions for seed in Cali- 

 fornia this year does not exceed 400, or 

 not more than fifteen per cent of what 

 would be called normal. But there is seed 

 of 1918 and all subsequent crops still in 

 storage. 



■ Occasionally we hear of someone who 

 is breaking records in the mail-order seed 

 trade these days, but on the whole the 

 season to April 1 has fallen below the 

 expectations of most of the men in that 

 line of business. And it is an axiom that 

 what is lost before April never can be re- 

 covered. 



A SEED store will be opened at 24 Ful- 

 ton street W., Grand Eapids, Mich., by 

 Wilbur Luikens and John Schipper. The 

 business will operate under the name of 

 the Holland-American Seed Co. Mr. 

 Luikens has had years of experience in 

 the seed business and Mr. Schipper was 

 formerly a grower. 



EvERETTE B. Peacock has asked the 

 creditors of his corporation to give power 

 of attorney for the election of Harry T. 

 Ellis as trustee in the bankruptcy case 

 of Everette K. Peacock Co. ]\^r. Ellis is 

 the representative of the eleven interested 

 banks and has been in charge of the Pea- 

 cock affairs through March. If elected 

 at the approaching meeting, Mr. Ellis will 

 continue the business to give Mr. Pea- 

 cock the opportunity to show founda- 

 tion for his belief that he can work out 

 of his financial difficulties. 



The Southern Seedsmen's Association 

 will hold its annual convention at the St. 

 Charles hotel. New Orleans, La., Monday, 

 Tuesday and Wednesday, May 29 to 31.

 Steckler, New Orleans; first vice-presi- 

 dent, D. E. Mayo, Knoxville, Tenn.; sec- 

 ond vice-president, Dick O'Bannon, Sher-

 agricultural npproi)riation bill for the 

 fiscal year 192.3 has voted to eliminate 

 the appropriation made by the House

 distribution of seeds. As a result, the 

 annual conflict between llie House of 

 Eeprescntntives and the Senate regard-
