six per cent; alfalfa, seven per cent; 

 timothy, eleven per cent; soy beans 

 twenty-five per cent, and seed corn, 

 eighteen per cent. The average price of 

 rape seed for planting purposes, both 

 retail and wholesale, is the same as a 

 year ago. 



In th'e aggregate the spread between 

 wholesale and retail prices of seeds this 

 season appears to be less than in 1921. 

 For example, the average retail price 

 of red clover March 1 was only about 

 four per cent higher than the average 

 wholesale selling price, while on or 

 about the same date last year it was 

 fifteen per cent higher. Sweet clover 

 was thirty-five per cent higher in 1922 

 and forty-five per cent higher in 1921, 

 alfalfa ten per cent higher in 1922 and 

 twenty-five per cent in 1921, and timo- 

 thy twenty per cent higher in 1922 and 

 thirty-five per cent in 1921.

OFFICERS OR EMPLOYEES. 



In view of the penor.al practice of 

 ofiBcers and stockholders of small busi- 

 ness corporations, especially in horti- 

 cultur.tl trades, frequently "lending a 

 hand" in the doing of manual work 

 around the company's premises, ques- 

 tion occasionally is raised as to whether 

 such combination officers-employees are 

 entitled to the benefits of the work- 

 men's compensation acts of the several 

 states on being injured while doing 

 manual work. 



The point is well illustrated by the 

 late decision of the New York Court 

 of Appeals in a case where the injured 

 man was president and treasurer of a 

 corporation and yet frequently assisted 

 in the packing and delivery of goods, 

 etc. He held ten of the 120 shares of 

 the company's stock. Holding that he
