will go into the ground somewhat late, 

 but corn, with favorable conditions, 

 which are surely due us from this on, 

 will rapidly make up for lost time. The 

 acreage will not be large. Growers are 

 fighting shy of corn, like turnips for 

 seed, and for like reasons. We shall 

 have to ask more money for our Con- 

 necticut seed in order to be able to pro- 

 duce it in sufficient quantity to satisfy 

 our trade. 



"In the pea and bean sections con- 

 ditions are nearly identical with those 

 here. Our superintendent over our Wis- 

 consin branch, when last reporting, stated 

 that it was snowing as he wrote and 

 that the first seeding was still two weeks 

 off. Our Mr. Cross, in charge of our 

 Michigan branch, states that no seed- 

 ing was done in his section until the 

 first part of May. However, this 

 handicap will be readily overcome if 

 favorable conditions follow. The seed 

 grower must be optimistic. Treat us 

 somewhat more respectably in the mat- 

 ter of moisture than we were treated 

 last season and we will yet 'make 

 good' with a crop of peas and beans. 

 As to acreage, up to March it looked 

 as though we should not get all our seed 

 out — the farmers were thoroughly dis- 

 couraged. An advance in farm prices, 

 together with other considerations, and 

 much coaxing finally induced them to 

 try once more, with the result that all of 

 our desired acreage of both peas and 

 beans is now booked. 



"Our stocks along all lines are un- 

 expectedly well cleaned up. In the 

 small seeds we have no surplus to men- 

 tion, and of corn only the customary 

 odds and ends, which will always be on 

 hand at the end of every season. 

 Together, however, these do not aggre- 

 gate a surplus of any consequence. Of 

 peas, it goes without saying, and of 

 beans as well, we are practically bare. 

 Thus we start out the new year of pro- 

 duction with a clean slate, good future 

 sales and high hopes for a full crop."
