Michigan bean growers report a 

 good stand and the outlook for the com- 

 ing crop satisfactory. 



It is reported that S. D. Dysinger has 

 resigned his position in the seed depart- 

 ment of Sears, Roebuck & Co. and that 

 another manager has been installed in 

 his place. 



There uorc seventeen eases of Har- 

 risii on the i'retorian from Bermuda, ar- 

 riving at New York June 30. The prin- 

 cipal shipment is due on the next boat, 

 arriving .in\y 6 or 7. 



Louisville, Ky. — It is expected that 

 the onion set growers will begin to har- 

 vest their crop within a day or two. The 

 crop is not expected to be more than 

 two-thirds of an average one. 



The i)ea crops of Wisconsin are re- 

 ported to bo in good shape at present. 

 The, weather has been favorable right 

 along and tiie prospect at this time of 

 the year for a good crop has seldom been 

 better. 



One f'hicago onion sot grower started 

 to harvest .June 25, the earliest date on 

 record. It should be stated that these 

 sets were of the I'earl variety, which 

 usually mature two weeks earlier than 

 the regular kinds. 



C. C. Morse & Co. have reestablished 

 headquarters at San Francisco, at 171 

 and 173 Clay street, oidy sixty days after 

 the destruction of their building by the 

 fire following the earthquake. Before 

 another season they again will be in first- 

 class .shape to handle their Pacific coast 

 catalogue trade. The disaster has had 

 no effect on the contract growing and 

 wiiojesale end of the business. 



Recent rains in the Chicago onion set 

 section north of the city have made thing.s 

 look better. It was doubtful, a week or 

 two ago, whether some of the pieces 

 would not have been more profitable if 

 plowed up and something else planted in 

 the place. Such pieces at this time look 

 as though they may make half a crop. 

 South of the city the crop averages well 

 and on the whole two-thirds of last 

 year's crop, which it will be remembered 

 was not a full one, is likely to be the 

 result when the harvest is completed.
