W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago, is push- 

 ing changes in window, store and office 

 to be in better shape than ever for the 

 opening of the counter trade. Arnold 

 Ringier returned February 26 from a fly- 

 ing southwestern trip to visit the jobbers. 



DISCLAIMEIt AGAIN UPHELD. 



Another suit in which the disclaimer 

 was the defense has been decided in 

 the Circuit court of Jefferson county, 

 Kentucky, in favor of Wood, Stubbs & 

 Co., of Louisville, Ky. Thomas Wal- 

 lace, a newspaper man and the owner 

 of a farm in Jefferson and Oldham 

 counties, claimed damages of $488.50 

 because he was g^ven a garden variety 

 of corn when he wanted field corn. Mr. 

 Wallace said he is not an experienced 

 farmer, and went to Wood, Stubbs & 

 Co* last May and asked for seed for 

 field corn. He purchased and paid for 

 seed of Boone County White, which is 

 the defendant's leading variety of field 

 corn. The plaintiff charged that the 

 corn was not Boone County White, but 

 a garden variety, which produced a 

 smaller crop than that which he would 

 have obtained had the variety been 

 Boone County White. His crop was 

 worth, he stated, only $271.50, whereas 

 a crop of the field variety specified 

 would have been worth $760, and he 

 sued for the difference, $488.50. 



In this particular instance, the cus- 

 tomer dealt directly in person at the 

 company 's store, without having con- 

 sulted a catalogue, so that in the store 

 was the only place where the dis- 

 claimer could have been brought to his 

 notice. Wood, Stubbs & Co. make reg- 

 ular use of the standard form of dis- 

 claimer and it was on this they based 

 their successful defense. 



FDMIOATINO IMPOETED SEED. 



A satisfactory method of destroying 

 injurious insects in imported seed with- 

 out affecting the value of the seed has 

 been used by the United States De- 

 partment of Agriculture, and is de- 

 scribed in a new bulletin (No. 186) en- 

 titled, "A Method of Fumigating 

 Seed," which will be sent to those who 

 apply to the department, at Washing- 

 ton, D. C. 



In the new method, the infested seed 

 is placed in a chamber in which a par- 

 tial vacuum has been created. The 

 chamber is then filled with hydrocyanic 

 acid gas, which penetrates more effec- 

 tively into the seed because of the pre- 

 viously created vacuum. It has been 

 found that a considerably shorter ex- 

 posure is necessary in using this 

 method of fumigation than in the usual 

 method. The bulletin describes the ex- 

 periment completely, giving details and 

 illustrations of the chamber used in 

 the experiment. 



Hydrocyanic acid is, of course, a most 

 dangerous poison and should not be 

 handled by any except those who are 

 thoroughly familiar with it. Another 

 gas, carbon bisulphide, is to be used 

 by the department in a similar experi-
