that is to be put in. The new company 

 will (leal ill seeds, poultry supplies, farm 

 tools, impliMuents and horse goods. The 

 president. Charles F. Saul, is the -\vhole- 

 sale and retail seedsman of Syracuse. 

 and tiie manager, Douglas M. Koss, has 

 been connected with him for some time. 



In .Joseph Breek & Son 's seed cata- 

 logue there is enclosed advertising matter

 store and agricultural warehouse. 



TERMS IN THE SEED TRADE. 



Lester L. .Morse, jiresident of ('. ('. 

 Morse t.V < <>.. San l*"r:incisco, makes the 

 following st;itement under <late of Jan- 

 uary 1 1 : 



" (_'. <'. Morse i!s; < o. announce that, in 

 common witli the other seed growers in 

 (.'alifornia. Iliey have agreed to change 

 the terms of jiayment on contracts wliicli 

 have heretofoic ruled in the seed busi- 

 ness, making tliem si.xty days, or 2 per 

 cent discount for cash. This action they 

 claim is m.'iile )iecess;n\v on account of 

 general business conditions on the Pacific 

 coast, where there is almost a famine of 

 labor and where nearly everything the 

 grower buys to conduct his farm is 

 bought on a sjiot cash liasis. They claim 

 they are oidy asking that the seed deal- 

 ers share a small part of their })urdens 

 by consenting to these reiisonable busi- 

 ness terms. 



"They state that their net ion in not 

 sending a v(^]ireseiit;iti\e among the 

 trade this ye;u and in not wishing to 

 book ailv.'ince contracts against their 

 onion crop was not intbienced in any way, 

 shape or iniinner l>y t h(^ attitude or ac- 

 tion of ;niy otiier giower or iiny other 

 seedsnuiii and w;is decided u|ion on ac- 

 count of the general conditions only. Ex- 

 cepting in the matter of terms they state 

 positively thnt they have no understand- 

 ings or arrangements \\]\h any other 

 grower or growers and they are in no 

 combinations. Any statement to the con- 

 trary is wholly without foundation.""

Tlie executive eoniniittee met to decide 

 the j)lace for holdiiifr the next conven- 

 tion and to .arrange a program for it. 

 New York was decided upon, but the 

 hotel has not yet hoon selected. There 

 will be several valuable papers pre- 



pared, but their subjects have not been 

 written out (or more properly, their 

 titles) so nothing can be given out along 

 those lines. 



A meeting bef<ire the agricultural 

 committee of the senate was held merely 

 to appear again at this time and add 

 .'i few more statements to the volumin- 

 ous testimony in support of the con- 

 tention made last spring before the 

 house committee on agriculture. What 

 the outcome will be is problematic. 



A meeting was held with the agros- 

 tologists of tile Department of Agri- 

 culture for the purpose of answering a 

 set of questions relating to the ques- 

 tion of seed adulteration and while none 

 of the gentlemen referred to was inter-
