Pres., C. N. Paire, Des Moines, la ; First Vlce- 

 Pres., L. L. May, St. Paul; Sec'y and Treas.. C. E. 

 Rendel, Cleveland. The 23rd annual meeting 

 will be held on the St. liawrence, June, 1906. 



The report from Germany is that cab- 

 bage will be a good crop, one of the best 

 of the year. 



Lawrence, Kan. — Barteldes & Co. 

 report a loss of 4,000 to 5,000 bushels 

 of onion sets by fire September 17. 



The directors of the Wholesale Seeds- 

 men 's League will have an important 

 meeting at New York tomorrow, Octo- 

 ber 7. 



W, W. Baknard, Chicago, is on a 

 visit to his stock farm at I^e Roy, Ind., 

 expecting the arrival of some fancy 

 Hereford' cattle and Percheron horses 

 from the east. 



MnJiiNG and hand picking show the 

 average lots of Alaska and extra early 

 peas in better shape this year than last. 

 The shrink on wrinkled varieties that 

 have been handled so far is also lighter 

 than usual. 



A. LeCoq & Co., Darmstadt, Germany, 

 say that Festuca elatior is of good qual- 

 ity and a large crop this season and ad- 

 vise that it be given special attention be- 

 cause of the reduction after three years 

 of high prices. 



Reports in general for the week show 

 little change from a week ago. The 

 weather has been seasonable and the 

 standing crops have had nothing to retard 

 any growth that would naturally be add- 

 ed to them during the time. 



Abkoyo Grande, Cau — Routzahn Seed 

 Co. reports that the recent heavy rains 

 did little damage to the beans in that 

 vicinity. Some damage was done in the 

 Lompoc district, however, especially to 

 Kentucky Wonder and other pole beans. 



Favorable reports from the east and 

 the hopeful tone of the advices from Ne- 

 braska puts the cucumber seed situation 

 in a better way. The shortage of this 

 «rop at the intermediate points may not 

 be felt so much when the seed from all 

 sections ia gotten together. 



Nothing definite has been reported on 

 the bean crop as yet. Threshing is un- 

 der way in Michigan and some crops are 

 ready to be delivered by the farmers. 

 Harvesting is about finished and deliver- 

 ies from the farmer to the warehouses, 

 where milling and hand picking is done, 

 will be in full swing by the end of the 

 month.

 ray's seed business at Peoria, 111., is on 

 an eastern trip, uuring which he will wed 

 a young lady at his former home in Jer- 

 sey City. 



The aster seed crop in Germany will 

 be considerably below the average al- 

 though late rains in the seed-growing 

 district along the Elbe helped to some 

 degree. 



CATALOGUES IN BULK. 



The con^nsus of opinion seems to be 

 that the act of Congress which provides 

 for the mailing of third class matter 

 with currency payment instead of stamps 

 affixed has been rendered inoperative by 

 the amount of detail provided for in 

 the order of the third assistant postmas- 

 ter general putting the law into effect. 

 Each of the requirements, save the one 

 requiring that a permit be obtained from 

 Washington, seems reasonable but in the 

 aggregate the requirements are so great 

 that the work involved fully counterbal- 

 ances the single advantage gained. The 

 requirements are all intended to lighten 

 the work in the postoffice. Inquiry at 

 the Chicago postoffice elicits the informa- 

 tion that many large mail order houses 

 have made inquiry as to the details of 

 the plan but that only one application 

 for a permit was the outcome. 



GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT. 



The temperature during the week end- 

 ing October 3, has been generally favor- 

 able for maturing and harvesting late 

 crops, although excessively warm in por- 

 tions of Kansas and the southern states. 

 Heavy to killing frosts, causing some 

 damage, were reported from Wisconsin. 

 Drought continues in the upper Ohio 

 valley and moisture is needed in Okla- 

 homa and South Dakota. 



Com has experienced another week of 

 favorable conditions, but frost was in- 

 jurious in Wisconsin, much was blown 

 down and damaged in Illinois, and dry 

 weather is needed in Iowa to prepare the 

 crop for cribbing. Corn is practically
