It is reported that the L. L. Olds 

 Seed Co. will remove from Clinton, Wis., 

 to Madison, Wis., about September 1. 

 Quarters have been leased. 



The government's July crop report 

 made the condition of corn and wheat ap- 

 pear more favorable than had been an- 

 ticipated, while private advices are to 

 the effect that there has been improve- 

 ment in July. 



The Barteldes Seed Co., Lawrence, 

 Kan., has published a 16-page booklet, 

 by Adolf Kruhm, entitled "The Story 

 of Alfalfa," which is being distributed 

 free to farmers. It is well calculated to 

 increase the sale of seeds, and in 1907 

 Kansas alone had 743,000 acres in al- 

 falfa. 



The report from Hamburg is that the 

 season promises an excellent crop of val- 

 ley pips, both as to quantity and quality, 

 but that orders are not so heavy as last 

 year. Not only in the United States but 

 in England and Germany there remain 

 considerably larger quantities of pips in 

 cold storage than are usual at this date.

and the decrease in demand due to low 

 prices in the wholesale markets during 

 a large part of the season, account for 

 this condition in the United States, and 

 largely also in other countries. In re- 

 cent years there has been a steadily rising 

 market at Hamburg for first-class pips, 

 for the supply was not equal to the de- 

 mand, but now it looks as though some 

 readjustment might occur — at least, a 

 better grade of stock may be expected if 

 present conditions exist for long. 



NEED FOR PREPAREDNESS. 



In his address as president of the 

 American Seed Trade Association George 

 S. Green referred to the necessity for 

 the preparation which will put the asso- 

 ciation in a position to influence action 



when congress undertakes the revision of 

 the tariff next fall. The trade will then 

 have the opportunity of supplying defi- 

 nite information of a character to se- 

 cure the elimination of the embarrassing 

 features of the present law. Mr. Green's 

 paragraph on this subject was as fol- 

 lows : 



"As there has been no revision of the 

 tariff during the past year, there has 

 been no necessity for special action on 

 the part of the committee on tariff and 

 customs, but since the question of tariff 

 revision seems likely to have attention 

 in congress in the near future, it is 

 essential that our committee be ready 

 to furnish information to the con- 

 gressional committee which will have this 

 matter in charge. After my experience 

 this spring as to the diflSculty of doing
