W. W. Baenaed, Chicago, left July 25 

 for Eagle Eiver, Wis., on a fishing trip. 



The first consignment of Dutch bulbs 

 reached New York July 22 and consisted 

 of forty cases, consigned to E. F. Lang. 



N. J. Olsen, of the N. J. Olsen Seed 

 Co., at Moorhead, Minn,, is one of the in- 

 corporators of the Red Eiver Valley Seed 

 House, of the same place, which is 

 capitalized for $100,000, to do a whole- 

 sale and retail seed and produce business. 

 The other incorporators are F. O. Olsen, 

 of Fargo; N. E. Olsen, of Minneapolis, 

 and D. D. Siraonds, of Fargo. 



Eepresentatives of eleven seed houses, 

 including the managers in several cases, 

 took the short course in seed testing at 

 University Farm, at St. Paul, last week, 

 under the direction of Prof. W. L. Os- 

 wald. They were learning how to comply 

 with the Minnesota pure seed law, as well 

 as getting instruction in the general prin- 

 ciples underlying purity and germination 

 tests. 



AFwTicles of incorporation have been 

 filed by the J. Charles McCullough Seed 

 Co., of Cincinnati, O., capitalized at 

 $500,000. It is stated that the step is 

 for the purpose of rewarding the em- 

 ployees who have built up the business. 

 Mi. McCullough and the employees will 

 hold the entire issue of stock, and the 

 working force and the officials remain 

 the same as before. The incorporators 

 named are J. Charles McCullough, H. D. 

 Brown, Robert O. Strong, Eichard T. 

 McComas and B. W. Delaney. 



CORN IN NEBRASKA. 



Wm. Emerson, manager of the West- 

 ern Seed & Irrigation Co., Fremont, 

 Neb., has just finished tabulating crop 

 reports on corn contracts received be- 

 tween July 15 and 26, representing 

 sixty-eight crops and 2,435 acres of both 

 field and sweet corn. The reports show 

 an average condition of better than 

 ninety-one per cent. These crops cover 

 the following counties, viz.: Dodge, 

 Saunders, Colfax, Platte, Butler, Mer- 

 rick, Boone, Greeley, Pierce, Holt and 

 Lincoln, but only cover the locality 

 adjacent to North Platte in Lincoln 

 county, where the company has about 

 100 acres of corn. 



"We understand the condition of the 

 corn crops in the counties adjacent to 

 the above, with the exception of Lincoln 

 county, are in practically as good con- 

 dition," said Mr. Emerson. "Most of 

 the reports state that the corn is in 

 good condition but needs rain, and we 

 are glad to advise we have had good 

 showers covering a large part of the 

 above territory during the last week 

 and we had a heavy shower in this 

 vicinity last night, July 27. We note 

 by the papers that the showers July 26 

 and 27 covered nearly the entire state 

 of Nebraska, ranging from one-half 

 inch to one inch or more in some locali- 

 ties, which will carry the crops through 

 the tas^eling and pollenizing period. 



"The vine 8e«a crop reports are also 

 showing fairly well, although some acre- 

 age was lost on account of dry weather 

 and damage from bugs and grasshop-
