ful one in the Gallatin for the seed pea 

 j^rowers, though the extra hot and dry 

 weather of midsummer worked to cut 

 down the yields far below what had 

 been anticipated. 



This year seed pea prices are up to 

 the level that obtained when peas were 

 first planted in the Gallatin. Mr. Broth- 

 erton is authorized this year to pay 

 25 to 50 cents per hundred more than 

 the prices paid here for peas last year, 

 according to the varieties that are 

 grown» Jn the case of several vari- 

 eties, this brings the price paid \ip to 

 the scale of three years ago, before the 

 cut in prices was made. 



(H)VEBNM£NT LOSES SEEDS. 



It develops that the government lost 

 630 bags of British seeds by fire Oc- 

 tober 20. The information comes out 

 through the action of Controller Dow- 

 ney, of the Treasury Department, in 

 » J authorizing the allowance of six per 

 f} cent to the adjusters on the value of 

 'that part of the government's consign- 

 ment salvaged from the fire. It is 

 stated to be a settled practice of the 

 government to contribute for general 

 average losses to a cargo belonging to 

 it, and it appears that fire broke out in 

 the hold of the steamship Minnewaska, 

 lying at its berth in New York city 

 October 20, after a part of the cargo 

 had been discharged. The government 

 seeds were consigned to I. P. Koosa, 

 United States dispatch agent at New 

 York. The total consignment was 853 

 bags, of which 223 bags, valued at about 

 $876.53, were saved. After the fire, 

 delivery of the bags of seeds not al- 

 ready unloaded was placed in the hands 

 of .lohnson & Iliggins, general average 

 adjusters.

THE FIBST 1915 CATALOGUES. 



The first general mail order seed cata- 

 logue for 1915 to reabh The Review' was 

 that of D. Landreth Seed Co., Bristol, 

 Pa., although it was only an hour ahead 

 of the one issued by H. G. Hastings & 

 Co., Atlanta, Ga. Both arrived during 

 the morning of December 14. 



In no important respect does either 

 of these books differ from the edition 

 of 1914. Each has been, and continues 

 under the 8-ounce limit' and is mail- 

 able at the flat rate as before the par- 

 cel post zone rates were made to apply 

 to heavier books.' Each book also con- 

 tinues the system of pricing on the 

 basis of postage prepaid except on peas,
