The wholesalers report a heavy fill-in 

 trade this spring. 



Some onions for seed were planted 

 near Chicago last week. 



The government crop report, issued 

 April 8, shows the condition of winter 

 wheat to have been 91.3, as against 89.9 

 April 1, 1907, and a ten-year average 

 of 86.2. The condition of rye was slight- 

 ly below that of this date last year, but 

 almost exactly the ten-year average. 



CONSIDER THE MANN BILL. 



In response to the call of the president 

 of the American Seed Trade Association, 

 a meeting of seedsmen was held at the 

 Auditorium Annex hotel, Chicago, April 

 10. The Mann pure seed bill was the 

 subject under discussion. 



It was the sense of the meeting that 

 important changes in the bill are needed 

 to avoid great injustice to seedsmen and 

 serious damage to important agricultural 

 interests. A committee representing this 

 meeting and the Seed Trade Association 

 will be sent to Washington to attend a 

 liearing before the Committee of Inter- 

 .state and Foreign Commerce April 21. 

 It is hoped that amendments to the bill 

 may be secured which will avoid injury 

 ^0 legitimate seed business. 



The members of the committee thus 

 1'ar appointed are: J. C. Vaughan and 

 ''has. Dickinson, Chicago; Chas. N. Page, 

 Hes Moines, la.

 meeting were:
