ever, it is a good talking point for 

 the seedsman selling Wisconsin peas — - 

 the bane of the packer's life is the 

 high percentage of No. 4 and No. 5 

 peas he gets even when he doesn't go 

 chasing runaway crops. 



SEIZURE OF MOBTQAQED SEED. 



The right of a mortgagor of seed to 

 recover damages for its premature 

 seizure by the mortgagee was the sub- 

 . ject of the case of Becker vs. McKen- 

 zie, which has just been passed upon 

 by the Oregon Supreme court (144 

 Pacific Reporter 434). The court holds 

 that, if the seizure occurred before the 

 mortgagee was entitled to possession 

 under the terms of the mortgage, it 

 was no defense to the suit for damages 

 that the lien accrued afterward and 

 before any sale was made by the mort- 

 gagee. The court said: "If the prop- 

 erty was prematurely taken by the de- 

 fendant, it was a wrongful taking and 

 a conversion of the timothy seed, for 

 which suit lies, and the subsequent ma- 

 turing of the mortgage lien did not 

 make his possession rightful or change 

 the character of the conversion," But 

 it was decided, of course, that the 

 mortgagee in such a suit can offset the 

 amount of his claim under the mort- 

 gage. According to the decision, the 

 damages recoverable are measurable 

 by the value of the seed at the time 

 of the taking. S. 



HEARING ON GLADIOLUS BULBS. 



The Treasury Department has promul- 

 gated decisions of the board of apprais- 

 ers at New York in regard to the duty 

 on gladiolus bulbs and mother bulbs. 

 The board holds that puch bulbs when 

 imported solely for propagating pur- 

 poses are entitled to entry into this 

 country free of duty, and that the regu- 

 lation of the department to the effect 

 that such bulbs should be denied free 

 entry unless the invoice indicates which 

 of the bulbs in an importation are ma- 

 ture mother flowering bulbs and unless 

 an affidavit from the ultimate consignee 

 is submitted stating that the bulbs are 

 imported for propagating purposes, does 

 not preclude the importer from proving 

 such facts before the board by other 

 evidence. The matter came before the 

 board on the protest of the Hubert 

 Bulb Co., of Portsmouth, Va., against 

 the assessment of duty by the collectors 

 of customs at Norfolk, Va., and Boston, 

 Mass. Appraiser Waite rendered the 

 decision of the board in the bulb ease 

 as follows: 



"The importations in these cases con- 

 sist of gladiolus bulbs. They were as- 

 sessed for duty u^der the tariff act of 

 1913, 'all other bulbs, roots, root stocks, 

 corms and tubers, which are cultivated 

 for their flowers or foliage, 50 cents 

 per thousand,' the gladiolus not being 

 enumerated or otherwise described in 

 the preceding part of the paragraph. 

 There is a proviso, however, to this 

 paragraph which was added to the law 

 of 1913, changing somewhat the law of 

 previous years. This proviso reads:
