Seed corn, both field and sweet, is be- 

 ginning to feel a strong demand. A 

 good run of trade throughout the month 

 is expected. 



Some of the growers are still looking 

 for acreage for beans, but in most cases 

 enough contracts have been secured. 

 However, there is yet time to make up 

 any acre shortage. 



The executive committee of the Na- 

 tional Canners' Association will meet at 

 Chicago May 19. So far as seedsinen's 

 interests are concerned, the most impor- 

 tant^ thing to come up will be a choice 

 between Chicago and Louisville for the 

 1916 convention. 



The season already is well advanced 

 in the south of France and advices from 

 Ollioules indicate that the growers are 

 standing quite firmly in the matter of 

 Bomans, with a softer tendency in Paper 

 Whites. It looks like a year in which 

 the apathy of buyers will add materially 

 to the uncertainties of the market. 



The Western Seedsmen's Association, 

 which includes in its membership most of 

 the leaders in the trade from the Missis- 

 sippi to the Eockies, will hold its four- 

 teenth annual meeting at Omaha May 15. 

 The oflScer* are : President, H. A. Johns, 

 Sioux City, la.; vice-president, C. C. 

 Massie, Minneapolis; treasurer, Henry 

 Winheim, Omaha; secretary, Mel L. 

 Webster, Independence, la. 



The acreage in onion sets at Chicago 

 this year is about equal to that of last 

 year, the condition of growing crops is 

 fair and the stand is all right, but lack 

 of rain is holding back the growth. To 

 be sure, there has been a little rain 

 within the last few days, but the precipi- 

 tation has not been great enough to more 

 than go through the surface — two inches 

 below it the soil is dry. So, regardless 

 of the most favorable conditions during 

 the next few weeks, it is more than 

 probable there will be a shortage of sets 

 next year. 



Except for the resident representa- 

 tives, most of the Holland bulb sales- 

 men have sailed away, principally to 

 England. As a class they report good 

 business — it seems to be regarded as un- 

 ethical^ for tlym to make an^^ other state- 

 mqtt — but from the buyers a somewhat 

 difllerent story comes. Mahy buyers say 

 they have placed their usual or nearly 

 their usual orders with their regular 

 sources of supply, but subject to market 

 prices at time of shipment. More than 

 a few, however, say they have as yet 

 placed no orders and will not buy until
