Keceivcr Buell took charge March 28. 

 lie said he could not make a statement 

 until ho had time to have the books ex- 

 amined. 



From a banking source it is learned 

 that eleven banks held Peacock paper 

 and were cooperating. The creditors' 

 committee organized by them believed 

 the liabilities to be approximately 

 .$200,000 and that the assets would 

 realize, under proper management, 

 something over $100,000. The assets 

 consist of seeds, machinery, equipment 

 and real estate. The seeds to a large 

 extent are in public warehouses, the 

 reeeii)ts being lodged with the banks as 

 collateral. 



It is stated that of the $200,000 lia- 

 bilities the banks hold approximately 

 fifty-five per cent, with forty-five per 

 cent among the seed trade and other 

 creditors. It is believed the banks are 

 fairly well secured. 



The first meeting of the creditors will 

 be held early in April. 



Starting only a few years ago as a 

 dealer in onion sets, the rise of Everette 

 B. Peacock and the corporation which 

 bore his name and of which he was the 

 head has been phenomenal. The busi- 

 ness grew with amazing rapidity and 

 therein lay the cause of this w.eek's 

 developments. 



COMMITTEE FOR WING SEED CO. 



The plan outlined in The Keview of 

 February 16, whereby unsecured cred- 

 itors of the Wing Seed Co., Mechanics- 

 burg, O., were to receive prior prefer- 

 ence cumulative preferred stock to 

 cover their claims, has met with disap- 

 proval on the part of some of the cred- 

 itors for large amounts. There is some 

 doubt, therefore, of the plan's going 

 through, and the creditors' committee 

 appointed at the Urbana meeting, de- 

 sirous that no further delay be suffered 

 during the bulb selling season, proposes 

 that a CO receiver be appointed, a per- 

 son intimate with the seed business, 

 who would add, to the present receiv- 

 er's general business experience, spe- 

 cial knowledge and ability in the lines 

 of the Wing Seed Co. In a statement to 

 creditors, the committee says it is 

 "satisfied that the reason why Mr. 

 Pershing has not been successful in 

 selling any considerable amount of 

 bulbs lies in the prices fixed for him 

 by Charles Wing and a disregard of 

 the resolution of the creditors' commit- 

 tee that low prices should be accepted 

 in order to liquidate the bulbs on 

 hand," which are almost the only asset 

 available for unsecured creditors. 



Motion for the appointment of a co- 

 rcccivcr has been filed and will prob- 

 ably be decided upon in about ten days. 

 At the same time it will be determined 

 whether the present receiver shall plant 

 an additional forty-five acres of bulbs, 

 a course opposed by the committee be- 

 cause of the large expense involved. 

 In order that the creditors' committee 

 may have standing in court, creditors 

 of the Wing Seed Co. have been asked 

 to sign an agreement whereby the com- 

 mittee is made agent and attorney, 

 with full power to net in the interests 

 of the creditors. The committee is 

 composed of J. C. Robinson, Burnet 

 I>andreth, .Jr.. Ashby M. Long and 

 .Jerome C. Fisher. Any creditors sign- 

 ing the committee's agreement will be 

 released if the preferred stock plan be- 

 comes operative.
