 ])i-A \Kuk is short. Walter ]?. Tinnns, of 

 .Ni'w Yoik. lias just made a trip aiuoufj; 

 tlie pea jiackers of .New York, .Miuliioan 

 and Wisconsin, and had tills to say: 



" ]"roni my observations it looks safe 

 to say that there will not ])e over sixty 

 or seventy jier cent of the crop \vhi(di 

 (hose who ]dantcd this year exiieeted; 

 the acreage was less than in some sea- 

 sons, so this estimate is- only on -what 

 was planted for cannin^f ])urposes this 

 year. The early rains and the later hot 

 wcatlier witliout moisture reduced the 

 average of the croj), as to quality, to a 

 consiileralil(> degree, and 1 would not be 

 surprised if there might bo a scarcity of 

 the choicer grades and packs at the close 

 of the season, with no surplus, but still 

 sullicient of the cheaper grades available 

 to, till the wants. 



"There is a small carryover pea pack, 

 and the ])i('sent season must stand on the 

 outiuit of the 1909 pack."' 



ONION IN OHIO. 



Last season the onion seed grown in 

 small lots tiir(Migh the country, but espe- 

 cially in the miihile west, was an impor- 

 tant factor in the market, the precetiing 

 year having been marked by a deci<led 

 shortage of many leading varieties. How 

 an onion tield going to seed looks in cen- 

 tral Ohio is shown by the accompanying 

 illustration, from a ])hotograidi uuide re- 

 cently at the Columbus trial grouiuls of 

 the Livingston Seed Co. There are four 

 acres of Southjtort \Vhite Globo in this 

 patch. These are from onion bulbs grown 

 (in the farm the year juevious. At Kirk- 

 ersville. in th<> next county east, the Liv-
