NOTICE 



To Whom it May Concern: 



' Certain parties are traveling through 

 the country purchasing Sweet Corn from 

 farmers with whom the Western Seed & 

 Irrigation Co. holds contracts for the 

 delivery of the said corn. This is to no- 

 tify all such parties - either buyer or sel- 

 ler—that the Company will prosecute to 

 the limit of the law, all parties guilty of 

 such an offense.

If your opinion does not agree with 

 any expressed in this cohunn of the 

 Review, send in a statement of the sit- 

 uation as you see it. 



Visited Chicago: Max Wilhelmi, of 

 Barteldes Seed Co., Lawrence, Kan. Mr. 

 Wilhelmi seems not to have lost interest 

 in the onion set problem. 



The last of the bulbs for bedding are 

 not moving out as they should, and many 

 little surpluses still represent a- consid- 

 erable part of the season's profit. 



Sluis & Groot, Enkhuizen, Holland, 

 annually send out with their catalogue a 

 table showing its prices, stated per cwt. 

 of 112 pounds in English money, reduced 

 to cents per pound in American money. 



Many of the bean crops are still in 

 the straw and the growers are hoping 

 that they have kept all right since har- 

 vest. This lack of knowledge as to how 

 the beans will look when they are threshed 

 out is the only reason that exists for 

 thinking there may be a shortage. At 

 the time of the last field inspection be- 

 fore harvest things looked favorable for 

 a fairly good yield. 



The seedsmen who issue catalogues 

 and cater exclusively to retail trade by 

 mail are not worrying much about prices, 

 from all accounts. They know what they 

 have, they know what it cost them, and, 

 as they have no wholesale trade to bother 

 about in protecting as to price, they can 

 proceed with their catalogues and when 

 they are sold out of a given article and 

 cannot buy at prices to cover they can 

 refund the money and let it go at' that. 



In the judgment of many of the cata- 

 logue compilers the wholesale values of 

 certain varieties of scarce seeds at this 

 season of the year are of little value as a 

 guide to base retail prices on. It is 

 often the case that the users of large 

 quantities of seeds will pay more in the 

 fall than the small buyer wll stand for 

 in the spring. A market gardener will 

 usually wait until planting time is at 

 hand and if the price of anything in 

 seeds that he intends to buy is beyond a 

 certain figure he will let it go and swing 

 to something else.
