do not and to place them accordingly on 

 the different parts ' of the ranch, where 

 fogs rest, and where they do not rest, 

 is an asset of considerable value. 



The Eoutzahn Seed Co. ia successor to 

 the McClure Seed Co. The change of 

 name did not change the management, as 

 Mr. Boutzahn had been the active head 

 of the McClure Co. Mr. Boutzahn is 

 given credit for being able to grow as 

 large crops of sweet peas and other seeds, 

 acre for acre, as any one in California. 

 His location is exceptionally good, and 

 his experience has been acquired at that 

 one place only. The continued improve- 

 ment and growth of the business is due to 

 his energy and observation since starting 

 there, as he had no previous trainin£. 

 The necessity of succeeding made success 

 possible in his case. 



A new company in seed growing has 

 been started in the vicinity of Arroyo 

 Grande by Edwin M. Haven, who until 

 two years ago was a grower of seeds at 

 Bloomingdale, Mich. Mr. Haven had 

 quite a long experience in the east and 

 expects to make a success of his Califor- 

 nia venture. 



The next point of interest in the trip 

 toward the north is Gilroy, whence came 

 the pictures accompanying these notes. 

 What is to be learned there, and farther 

 on our tour of inspection, will be told 

 next week. 



Wood, StUBBS & Co., Louisville, Ky., 

 have received a gold medal award on 

 their exhibit of garden and field seeds 

 in the Agriculture building at the St. 

 Louis World's Fair. 



The radish crops from Michigan so far 

 delivered have yielded fairly well. The 

 weather since harvest has been against 

 speedy threshing operations and the aver- 

 age deliveries will be somewhat delayed. 



Nels Swenson's onion set warehouse 

 at Gen View, 111., was destroyed by fire 

 Sunday, October 23. Building and con- 

 tents consisting of about 2,000 bushels, 

 mostly yellows, were an entire loss. The 

 sets were held for Peter Hollenbach, 

 Chicago. 



Beans as yet are an unknown quantity. 

 The straw remains damp in many sec- 

 tions and threshing is far behind. Ordi- 

 narily a fair idea of what may be ex- 

 pected in the way of pro rata deliveries 

 can be given at this date, but this year 

 is to be an exception. 



In several Wisconsin sections where 

 peas ordinarily yield five to eight fold, 

 they turn out only three and one-half to 

 five fold this year. The wet weather 

 since harvest has had much to do with 

 this, the growers having had a serious 

 time in keeping the peas from spoiling 

 while in the straw.
