J. H. Smith, of Minneapolis, finds 

 the demand for seeds fully up to the 

 average. 



L, L. May, of St. Paul, believes that 

 this year will be a clean-up one in 

 stocks, generally. Corn of all kinds 

 will be scarce and correspondingly high. 

 They have harvested a crop of Datura 

 Stramonium, an herb used for the cure 

 of asthma and hitherto grown in Ger- 

 many. The two acres of the crop are 

 expected to yield, when dried, 2,000 

 pounds, at a contract price of 20 cents 

 per pound. It is predicted that, owing 

 to the war, there will be an increasing 

 demand for this plant because of its 

 medical qualities. 



The John A. Salzer Seed Co., "La 

 Crosse, Wis., is looking for a big de- 

 mand for pedigree oats and wheat an- 

 other season, owing to the enormous 

 yield now being harvested. 



Melzer's Seed Store, Watertown, 

 Wis., has enjoyed a prosperous season.

ARGENTINA BESTBICTS IMPORTS. 



An Argentine decree of July 5, 1915, 

 which is to go into eflFect six months 

 from that date, prohibits the importa- 

 tion into Argentina of consignments of 

 alfalfa seed and other forage-plant 

 seeds containing more than ten grains 

 of dodder per kilo, or those of a ger- 

 minal power (valor cultural) of less 

 than sixty per cent. Shipments of such 

 seeds are to be analyzed by the Ar- 

 gentine agricultural authorities upon 

 importation, and, if they are found not 

 to comply with the requirements, must 

 be returned to the country of exporta- 

 tion or placed in a warehouse desig- 

 nated for the purpose and cleaned at 

 the expense of the importer; otherwise 

 the consignment is to be destroyed 

 without remuneration. The importation 

 of such seeds is limited by the decree 

 to the ports of Buenos Aires, Rosario 

 and Bahia Blanca. 



BULB SITUATION IN HOLLAND. 



"As a matter of course," says the 

 Holland correspondent of a British 

 trade paper, "the countries that are 

 at war are not taking more than half 

 the usual quantities of any kind of 

 bulbs, and if it was not for the enor- 

 mous quantities swallowed by the 

 United States, conditions in the bulb 

 district woulgl be far worse than what 

 they are. Notwithstanding this, the 

 cost of production in the face of scar- 

 city of labor will cause a general clear- 

 ing and reducing of stocks among bulb 

 growers, and this is after all the only 

 practical mode of dealing with the

present serious dislocation of all trades. 

 "Although weather conditions have 

 been far from favorable for the dry- 

 ing and curing of bulbs, which have all 

 been housed by this time, the sale of 

 tulip bulbs has been going on and the 

 bulk of them may be said to have been 

 disposed of. So far-, tulips have been 

 selling rapidly and fairly well, consid- 

 erfng the abnormal circumstances, but 

 hyacinths are moving slowly, and the 

 smaller sizes, especially, are difficult to 

 dispose of. Crocus have also been a 

 drug in the market so far, notwith- 

 standing that the crop was a small one, 

 and the demand seems to be generally
