BANQUET BY IOWA SEED CO. 



A banquet was given at the Chamber- 

 lain hotel, Des Moines, la., January 4, 

 by the Iowa Seed Co. to the heads of 

 its different departments. Besides the 

 two largest stockholders in the company, 

 there were fourteen employees present at 

 the banquet, each a head of a different 

 department of the concern. C. N. Page, 

 manager of the company, made the 

 principal talk of the evening, urging 

 sociability and friendliness among the 

 different departments of the concern. 

 One fact brought out was that more than 

 half of the heads of the departments 

 own stock in the company. A report 

 for the year up to this time was made. 

 The business for the five months just 

 completed was more than sixty-three per 

 cent above that of the previous year, 

 and that of the last three months was 

 double that for the corresponding months 

 last year. 



THE CANNED GOODS PACK. 



Statistics of the packs of corn, peas 

 and tomatoes in the United States for 

 the season of 1908, compiled by Frank 

 E. Gorrell, secretary of the National 

 Canners' Association, have just been 

 made public and will be of interest to 

 the seed trade as indicating the enor- 

 mous extent of the demand for seeds in 

 this industry. The pack is given by 

 states to show distribution. Cases con- 

 tain two dozen tins.

RocKFORD, III. — Fire broke out shortly 

 after midnight, January 5, in the green- 

 houses of J. W. Ingalls & Co. When the 

 alarm was turned in the flames had com- 

 plete possession of one house and had 

 entered the two others belonging to the 

 company. The fire department was able 

 to check the fire, but much of the glass 

 was broken and the stock ruined by the 

 cold weather and water. Mr. Ingalls had 

 not placed any estimate on his loss, but 

 it will amount to several thousands of 

 dollars. Two of the houses were erected 

 last fall.
