70 per cent. These estimates may or may 

 not be proved later, but one thing is be- 

 lieved generally by the trade, and that is 

 that there will be a passably fair crop of 

 onion seed. 



** Early varieties of garden peas have 

 been harvested, and from many growers 

 come reports of quite extreme shortages, 

 especially in Early Alaska, Daniel 

 O 'Bourke and those sorts especially large- 

 ly used by canners; and right here I will 

 take space to say that many of our largest 

 need houses, who have for years been 

 large suppliers of seeds to canners, are 

 Bot expressing themselves as pleased 

 wholly with the orders of these canning 

 factories, and for this reason — it is a 

 most uneven business. A firm may sell 

 aeveral hundred bushels of a certain 

 variety of peas, let us say, for years to 

 eanner customers, when without warn- 

 ing the demand for this sort ceases, and 

 a surplus to be disposed of at a loss 

 develops. Again, in a short year like 

 the one we feel is coming, those same 

 customers who have, without reason, 

 turned their orders elsewhere in years 

 of plenty in order to, perhaps, save a 

 few cents a bushel, expect their r^jular 

 •eedsman to take care of them, even if' 

 no seeds are left for the seedsman's 

 regular trade." 



SEEDSMEN'S RESPONSIBILITY. 



A Nebraskan writes to the Bural New 

 Forker complaining that he bought seed 

 of Tick's Scarlet Globe radish of a local 

 dealer and that the crop turned out to be 

 worthless because the radishes were all 

 shapes and colors, not over five per cent 

 being true. Dr. W. Van Fleet makes 

 comment in part as follows: 



* ' There ought to be substantial redress 

 for such betrayal of a purchaser's confi- 

 dence, whether or not the seeds were 

 guaranteed as true to name by the dealer ; 

 but as a matter of cold fact the dealer in 

 seeds has been practically relieved of all 

 responsibility by recent legal decisions, 

 when selling under the usual non-war- 

 ranty clause. All he is required to do, as 

 the law is now interpreted, is to deliver 

 a package bearing the name of the vari- 

 ety called for. The purchaser has all 

 risks as to crop results. All honorable 

 dealers, however, stand ready to rectify 

 obvious errors in filling orders, but do 

 not hold themselves liable for losses be- 

 yond the original purchase price. 



"Seed growers appear to be held to 

 stricter account, as the courts claim they 

 are in position to know the exact nature 

 •f their offerings, while the dealer cannot
