it is in the middle west, and the weather 

 in the east also has been better. In the 

 corn states planting has not much more 

 than begun. 



The corn planting season is at hand, 

 but the weather is bad for planting; 

 consequently, trade in the seed corn line 

 is not up to the mark. 



Eeports from the pea growing sec- 

 tions for the week are meager, but in 

 general where reports are made the con- 

 ditions are not so favorable as they 

 might be. 



Congress is expected to adjourn 

 about May 23. The only legislation of 

 interest to the seed trade is the passage 

 of the agricultural appropriation bill by 

 the senate, providing for thef ree seed 

 distribution, and the possible enactment 

 of the insecticide law. 



Last season a representative of 

 Strawson's, 71a Queen Victoria street, 

 London, England, called upon a number 

 of the representative seed houses of the 

 United States for the purpose of inter- 

 esting them in the firm's products, chief 

 of which is Vaporite, a powder for 

 sprinkling on the sojl and digging in 

 before planting or sowing, after which 

 it destroys insects, etc., infesting the 

 plants. It has been tried by some of 

 the experiment stations and has given 

 results which have led to its trial on a 

 commercial scale this season. It is re- 

 ported from England that remarkable 

 results have been obtained through the 

 use of Vaporite and it is being exploited 

 largely these.
