Henry W. Wood, president of the 

 American Seed Trade Association, says 

 the anti-free-seed movement is in full 

 swing and he is hopeful success will 

 crown the campaign. 



HjAiiMAE Hartmann, representing H. 

 Hartmann & Co., seed growers, of Copen- 

 hagen, Denmark, spent last week in New 

 York, making headquarters at 31 Bar- 

 clay street, and is now calling on the 

 principal seedsmen en route to Chicago.

 of the country report short crops. Toma- 

 toes in Baltimore were worth 50 cents

 normal price of 25 to 30 cents. 



The U. S. Department of Agriculture 

 reports that in its investigations for 

 1905, the average value of farm lands 

 was found to have increased thirty-three 

 and a half per cent from 1900 to 1905. 

 The largest increase is in the cotton 

 lands of the south, forty and two-tenths 

 per cent. Next in increase are the west- 

 ern states, and then the south Atlantic 

 region. Some of the New England states 

 show a slight decrease. In the years 

 1890-1900, the average increase was 

 twenty-five per cent. 



It appears that the posting of Albert 

 Dickinson's membership in the Chicago 

 Board of Trade was intended to stir up 

 the animals, and has created something 

 approaching consternation among the 

 bulls and bears. The Dickinson Co. has 

 been prominent on the Chicago board for 

 thirty years. Individuals connected with 

 the house now hold twelve memberships, 

 only one of which has been posted for 

 transfer, but it is expected the others 

 will follow unless, as seems not unlikely, 

 a change in the rules may be made to 

 secure the continued participation of 

 the Dickinson Co. The Chicago board 

 is reluctant to see so much business di- 

 verted to other markets.

The W. 0. Church Seed Co., of Okla- 

 homa City, Okla., has been incorporated 

 with $5,000 authorized capital stock. 

 The incorporators are W. 0. Church, 

 Jeamsey Church and W. 0. Kneck. 



There is little doing in the Chicago 

 grass seed market. At Toledo the week 

 opened with clover seed, cash, October 

 and December, $7.75; prime timothy, 

 $1.90; prime alsike, $7.05. 



F. G. Johnson, for several years sec- 

 retary and treasurer of the Livingston 

 Seed Co., Columbus, 0., has resigned, 

 and Josiah Livingston elected to the of- 

 fices. Mr. Johnson gives up active par- 

 ticipation because of ill-health, but re- 

 tains his stock interest. 



The steamer Amsterdam, reaching 

 New York September 10, brought 3,308 

 cases of Dutch bulbs. The importance 

 of Maltus & Ware, of New York, in the 

 bulb importing line is shown by the 

 fact that out of this shipment 2,882 

 cases were consigned in their care. 



Martin Kunkel & Sons, Davenport, 

 la., have taken an original method of 

 protecting their interests since the Sec- 

 retary of Agriculture published the fact 

 that he bought adulterated alfalfa seed 

 from them. They are advertising that 

 the seed was purchased from Small & 

 Co., Evansville, Ind., whom they seek to 

 hold responsible.

The state and local horticultural so- 

 cieties, which meet at the close of har- 

 vest each year, are nearly all adopting 

 resolutions condemning the government 

 free seed distribution. 



Yellow trefoil is not used to any ex- 

 tent as a forage plant in the United 

 States, but the seed is imported from 

 Europe at about 5 cents per pound for 

 use as an adulterant of red clover and 

 alfalfa seed. Although bur clover is 

 cultivated in the Gulf states, the seed 

 found mixed with that of alfalfa is not 

 the commercial bur clover seed of this 

 country, but a by-product secured in 

 cleaning South American wool, and is 

 imported from Germany in low-grade 

 alfalfa seed.
