The Dakota Improved Seed Co., A. W. 

 Wheeler, Mgr., Mitchell, S. D., is send- 

 ing out its first catalogue, of thirty-two 

 pages. 



W. J. FosGATE, of Santa Clara, Cal., 

 was in Chicago at the end of last week. 

 He reported business good on his eastern 

 trip. He has taken a side trip to visit 

 relatives in Georgia and from there will 

 return home by a southern route. 



The bean growers do not seem to be 

 in as good shape as the pea growers. 

 Eeports are to the effect that it is much 

 harder to book contract business for 

 beans. The final result, it is thought, 

 will be just as good, however. 



The pea growers report contract book- 

 ing of orders right up to the limit of 

 what they can expect to produce. This 

 looks good as far as it goes. It is re- 

 ported that some of the orders are taken 

 on a basis of three-fourths of a full de- 

 livery guaranteed. This is a feature 

 that may not be so good. 



Seed trade reports during the present 

 week have the same general tone as a 

 week ago. Business is reported to be 

 normal in all lines. Enough stock seems 

 to be available for all immediate needs. 

 The weather is such as to hold in check 

 the purchasing of seeds ahead of time. 

 This will have a good effect in equaliz- 

 ing values. Stocks supposed to be scarce, 

 and for which a higher price is asked 

 than conditions really warrant, will prob- 

 ably drop to somewhere near proper val- 

 ues by the time the seeds are actually 

 needed, and stocks that are thought to 

 be overplentiful will probably rise in 

 price. 



A SHARP advance in the price of onions 

 has given seeds of the Globe varieties a 

 slight boost. The trouble is, however, 

 that the high prices at which seeds of 

 the Globe varieties have sold for the last 

 year or two induced the growers to save 

 seed of their own; consequently there is 

 a smaller demand for Globe seed than 

 there has been for many years. There 

 will be just as much of it planted, how- 

 ever. The same thing will happen on the 

 flat varieties before long and thus will 

 come low prices again. Just as soon as 

 the price of seeds goes beyond a certain 

 limit, the man who uses large quantities 

 of it will grow his own. Professional 

 seed growers must keep this in mind.
