The corn i.s making great progress 

 these days and recovering much lost 

 ground. 



Corn in Nebraska is reported as doing 

 splendidly, with promise of late sorts 

 giving much better results than last year. 



The onion set harvest at Chicago has 

 begun. It starts earlier this year than 

 for the preceding three seasons. The 

 growers say this early ripening denotes 

 good quality. The season on the whole 

 has been favorable for this crop. Last 

 year the crop at Chicago was below the 

 average in number of bushels harvested. 

 This year an average crop is expected. 

 The acreage for 1908 is not reported 

 greater than in 1907, but each acre will, 

 it is expected, produce more bushels.

The late reports from the Michigan 

 pea district make it look as though the 

 yield may fall short of previous esti- 

 mates. 



From practically all districts there is 

 the report that the canners are falling 

 short of the expected packs of the crops 

 the seed trade is interested in. 



On the boat from the Azores which 

 reached New \ork July 17, R. M. Ward 

 & Co. had seventeen cases of Azores lily 

 bulbs and Henry & Lee fifty-five cases. 



James E. Clabk, son of J. M. Clark, 

 secretary of the Leonard Seed Co., Chi- 

 cago, has gone to Arroyo Grande, Cal., to 

 pursue his education in the seed business 

 on the seed growing ranch of the Rout- 

 zahn Seed Co. 



The government crop report puts the 

 condition of onions at 90.2 per cent July 

 1, a little better than at the same date 

 last year. 



The market for cantaloupes has been 

 overstocked in practically all the large 

 cities thus far since the Georgia and Cal- 

 ifornia crops came on. The output of 

 California "cants" has been very heavy 

 and has served to break the market with- 

 out making a profit for the people inter- 

 ested. As an example of how far its in- 

 fluence has been felt, from fifteen to 

 seventeen cars a day reached New York 

 City day after day. It costs, for freight 

 and refrigeration alone, about $1.20 to 

 lay down a standard crate of California 

 cantaloupes in New York. This does not 

 include the price of the crate, or pack- 

 ing, picking and growing. The average
