something like $300,000 on overdrafts, 

 using the company's paper as security. 

 Then I borrowed some money on per- 

 sonal notes and other security." 



He admitted that the company in 

 1921, on a business of $500,000, made 

 ten per cent i)rofit. According to the 

 state's attorney, he used the company 

 to float a $500,000 stock issue. For this 

 purpose, he is reported to have said he 

 deliberately falsified his bank state- 

 ment so as to qualify under the blue 

 sky laws. 



Mr. Peacock stated he gave as secur- 

 ity, besides stock in his seed company, 

 stock in an Oshkosh, Wis., company and 

 in the Automatic Eat Trap Co. 



After the inquiry Tuesday evening, 

 Mr. Peacock was allowed to return home 

 on promise to return in the morning. 

 Five other persons were ordered to ap- 

 pear befpre the state's attorney April 

 19. They were: Mrs. Peacock, Albert 

 Sporleder, Albert Gascon, secretary of 

 the Everette R. Peacock Co.; A. Setter- 

 berg, a former officer of the Peacock 

 Co. and former director of the Milwau- 

 kee-Irving bank, and C. J. Nissen, for- 

 merly auditor of the Peacock Co. 



In The Review of March 30 report 

 was given of the appointment of a re- 

 ceiver for the affairs of the Everette R. 

 Peacock Co., in which eleven banks 

 were interested to the extent of fifty- 

 flve per cent of the liabilities of 

 $200,000. 



IMPORTS OF GRASS SEED. 



There are some striking differences 

 in importations of grass seeds during 

 the nine months ended March 31, 1922, 

 and the three-quarters of the govern- 

 ment's fiscal year which ended a year 

 before. These are shown in the figures 

 published by the Department of Agri- 

 culture, which are as follows:

FREE SEEDS IN AGAIN. 



An appropriation of $360,000 for free 

 seeds, in the appropriation bill for the 

 Department of Agriculture for the fiscal 

 year beginning July 1, next, was adopted 

 by the Senate last week after the Senate 

 appropriations committee had omitted 

 this fund from the bill, in accordance 

 with its action in previous years. 



The history of the free seed appro- 

 priation this year varies somewhat from 

 its usual course, in that the Department 

 of Agriculture omitted the item from
