Thkre is a largo demand, which is 

 constantly increasing, for canners' varie- 

 ties of corn. 



Encouraged by the offer of better 

 prices, Holland farmers have undertaken 

 an unusually large acreage of spinach

The government pure food bureau has 

 decided that the name Lima must not be

 Limas but which, in fact, are not Limas. 



GBENELL WILL IS FILED. 



Dispatches from Watertown, N. Y., 

 name Miss Isabel M. Swett, manager of 

 the W. H. Grenell establishment at 

 Saginaw, Mich., as one of the benefi- 

 ciaries under the will of Mr. Grenell, 

 who died May 19 at Pierrepont Manor, 

 N. Y. Miss Swett, the dispatches said, 

 was bequeathed $5,000 in lumber com- 

 pany bonds as a reward for her faith- 

 ful service as manager of the Saginaw 

 headquarters. 



The remainder of the estate, valued 

 at about $150,000, was willed to a 

 daughter, Mrs. Ella Huggins. The will 

 was filed for probate May 25 in the 

 surrogate's court at Watertown. 



It was Mr. Grenell 's often expressed 

 wish that his grandson, William Grenell 

 Huggins, now a lad in school, be edu- 

 cated to carry on the seed business now 

 handed down to the boy's mother. 



RAIN REDUCES COAST CROPS. 



From the beginning of the rainy sea- 

 son in California, which started in No- 

 vember, there has been exceptionally 

 large precipitation this season. The 

 rainfall was so heavy that it caused 

 some anxiety among the seed growers 

 of the Santa Clara valley and elsewhere 

 in the state. Now, however, the anx- 

 iety has turned to alarm, for there has 

 been no let-up during May, which is 

 ordinarily an exceedingly dry month. 

 The average precipitation for May in 

 the seed growing districts is consider- 

 ably less than one inch, but this year 

 nearly three inches has fallen during 

 the month on some of the seed fields. 



The following statistics compiled for 

 The Review show how much heavier 

 the precipitation has been this year 

 than it is normally. The season of 1913- 

 14 was, as will be seen, an unusually 

 wet season, but the rainfall at Santa 

 Clara and San Jose has been even 

 heavier this year. At Hollister and
