Valley will not be forced as extensive- 

 ly in 1909 as in the year just past, and 

 it is reasonable to expect that prices will 

 be more satisfactory than in 1908. 



There are men of keen foresight who 

 say that there is no industry which will 

 show greater development in the United 

 States in the next score of years than 

 the business of supplying commercial fer- 

 tilizers. 



Alfalfa was a long time coming into 

 general cultivation in the United States, 

 but it now is grown in every state, with 

 the possible exception of Florida, and is 

 the staple leguminous forage crop 

 throughout the" western half of the coun- 

 try. 



Paul Pfitzer, son of Wilhelm Pfitzer, 

 Stuttgart, Germany, leaves early in the 

 new year to make a voyage to the West 

 Indies, as well as the southern and east- 

 ern United States. Many of the noted 

 commercial and private establishments 

 in the east will be visited by him while 

 here. 



It is reported from Sidell, 111., that 

 T. J. Sconce, of tlie Fairview Farm Seed 

 Co., is attracting much attention by his 

 experiments and partial success in pro- 

 ducing cobless corn. Though this new 

 type of corn is, of course, still in the 

 experimental stage, the cob is said to be 

 practically eliminated, being merely a 

 slender stalk on which the kernels grow. 

 It is claimed for this corn that, when 

 perfected, it will enable the farmer to 

 realize a greater production in quality 

 and quantity than at present. 



CONGRESSIONAL SEEDS. 



■ Washington, D. C, Dec. 28.— The 

 progress made in the congressional seed 

 distribution is reported better at this 

 season of the year than it has ever been 

 before. The fire last year, of course, 

 interfered' greatly with the work of the 

 seed distribution, but since the close of 

 the last distribution a new warehouse has 

 been constructed, thoroughly equipped 

 with new machinery and arranged so con- 

 veniently that the work is handled more 

 economically and expeditiously than ever 

 before. The Brown Bag-filling Machine 

 Co. does the packeting this year. 



The seed for the present year's dis- 

 tribution is practically all in the ware- 

 house, a condition which seldom exists at 

 the Christmas season. The packeting is 

 progressing and stock is ready to go out 

 as fast as congressional requisitions are 

 received. The mailing of the seed dur- 

 ing election year is generally delayed 

 later than in other years; it appears 

 that members of congress are busy with

other matters than that of seed distribu- 

 tion, SO that perhaps, while the seed is 

 not going out quite as rapidly as it does 

 in off years, the work is well in hand. 



Eeports have been current in the seed 

 trade as to the rejection of certain lots 

 of stock bought for the congressional 

 distribution. In recent years there al- 

 ways has been more or less seed turned 

 down because of one cause or another — 

 sometimes low vitality, sometimes be- 

 cause of the admixture of other seeds.
