Association, to make the trip from San 

 Francisco was the reason for declaring 

 off the meeting of the executive com- 

 mittee originally planned for January 

 20 at Chicago. The business in hand 

 did not seem to necessitate a meeting 

 of the committee in the absence of the 

 president. Plans for the convention at 

 San Francisco next June are well in 

 hand and will go on. S. F. Leonard, 

 of Chicago, is chairman of a committee 

 on transportation. Thus far the com- 

 mittee has taken no action, believing 

 it best to wait until the situation be- 

 comes a little more settled. Within a 

 few days an inquiry will be sent out to 

 ascertain what the probable attendance 

 •will be. It is hoped to concentrate the 

 eastern representation at Chicago for a 

 trip to the coast with a special train, 

 picking up the western members en 

 route. 



CAlfNEES' CONVENTION. 



According to Frank E. Gorrell, sec- 

 retary of the National Canners' Asso- 

 ciation, and W. C. Langbridge, presi- 

 dent of the Canning Machinery and 

 Supplies Association, the meeting of 

 the canning trade at New York, Feb- 

 ruary 8 and 12, will be of unusual size 

 and interest. The business sessions and 

 headquarters will be at the Hotel Astor, 

 and it is stated that the house already 

 is booked full, though there are plenty 

 of accommodations in the nearby hotels. 

 The exhibition by the Supplies Asso- 

 ciation will be put on at the Grand 

 Central Palace, about three-quarters of 

 a mile from the headquarters. Two 

 floors will be used, the machinery and 

 heavy exhibits on the first floor, with 

 the seeds and other lighter displays on 

 the mezzanine floor. 



BIDS ON GOVERNMENT SEEDS. 



Tenders of Stock for Distribution. 



It probably will be February before 

 any of the seedsmen who made bids 

 on the government contract for seeds 

 for the Congressional distribution of 

 1916 will get notice of such awards as 

 they receive. The bids were opened at 

 Washington January 12, a list of the
