Califoknia growers report weather 

 and soil conditions as favorable to the 

 new crop. 



John E. Hamilton, once a well known 

 seedsman at Louisville, Ky., died in that 

 city January 19, aged 83 years. 



O. S. Jones & Co., formerly at Madi- 

 son, S. D., have removed their headquar- 

 ters to Sioux Falls, S. D. 



At the canners' convention at Atlantic 

 City February 7 to 12 a place 'on the 

 program has been provided for a dis- 

 cussion on seed peas. 



J. W. Jung, Eandolph, Wis., says that 

 when he came to thresh his aster seed 

 crops he found that, instead of having 

 a surplus, he was unable to fill contracts 

 on most varieties. 



The government seed shop is making 

 its contracts with growers for seeds for 

 the 1911 congressional distribution. A 

 number of growers have been at Wash- 

 ington in the last few days to get their 

 share of the business. 



L. W. Wheeler no longer is connected 

 with the Braslan Seed Growers' Co. On 

 his present trip east he represents A. J. 

 Pieters, Hollister, Cal., Hogue-Kellogg 

 Co., Ventura, Cal., and the Ebbert Seed 

 Co., Eocky Ford, Colo. 



Brokers who deal in canned goods pre- 

 dict higher prices, stating that farmers 

 last season made more money from field 

 than from sweet corn, and argue from 

 that fact that the acreage of sweet corn 

 this year will be less if prices paid by 

 packers do not rise. 



It is reported that Northrup, King & 

 Co., Minneapolis, have established a 

 branch at Billings, Mont., in charge of 

 M. B. Gray. This doubtless came from 

 an item in a Billings paper of Novem- 

 ber 12, reporting Mr. Gray's arrival 

 there. In the trade it is pretty well 

 understood that for the last fifteen years 

 Northrup, King & Co. have grown more 

 or less of their peas in the vicinity of 

 Billings. They are slightly increasing 

 their acreage there this year.
