GOOD YEAR IN IOWA. 



Henry Field, president of the Henry 

 Field Seed Co., Shenandoah, la., says: 



"We have had a very prosperous sea- 

 son, showing about fifty-eight per cent 

 increase in business over last year, the 

 increase over last year becoming more 

 and more noticeable as the season ad- 

 vanced. At the start of the season we 

 showed about twenty per cent gain over 

 last year; March showed about forty- 

 eight per Cent gain, and April and May 

 were almost double last year. We do a 

 catalog business exclusively, direct to 

 the planter, and issue 125,000 catalogs; 

 will make it 150,000 next winter. We 

 handle all kinds of seeds and bulbs, but 

 of course seed com is our strongest line, 

 as we are in the heart of the famous 

 Shenandoah seed corn district."
