will be considerably smaller, yet the 

 export to America will probably be not 

 less than 5,000,000 kilograms — last year 

 it was nearly 5,500,000 kilograms — and 

 to Scandinavia and Denmark will go 

 another 2,000,000 kilograms, which, with 

 1,000,000 added for all other countries, 

 makes an aggregate of 8,000,000 kilo- 

 grams. From these figures it is clear 

 that a third of last year's total will 

 still be exported." 



A letter from Alex. Henderson, of 

 Chicago, who was in Holland early in 

 August, states that the bulb exporters 

 were "greatly discouraged" and had, 

 in fact, "already proposed to the Dutch 

 jjovernment to destroy 15,000,000 florins' 

 worth of bulbs jjrovided the govern- 

 ment would advance the money for a 

 period of five years." Mr. Henderson 

 adds, however, that "this may not 

 prove necessary, as I understand they 

 are again able to ship to England, 

 which will take a big lot ot their 

 stock." It also is reported that the 

 Holland Railway Co. has announced 

 that the line has been reopened into 

 (icrmany and that consignments will 

 again be accepted for that country. 



CLOVER AND VETCH PRICES. 



I'ricea for imported crimson clover 

 and hairy vetch seed have recently 

 shown such a marked upward tendency 

 that specialists of the Department of 

 Agriculture fear that the cost of these 

 "^eeds, of which Europe is the chief 

 wurce, will interfere with the increas- 

 ing; use of these leguminous cover crops. 



before the present European <ondi- 

 tions arose, crimson clover seed was 

 ^t'lling at from .$4 to $5 per bushel. T'j. 

 to August 15 there was a scarcity of 

 this seed in the United States, owing 

 to the fact that the receipts from Ku 

 'opc were smaller than usual. The 

 prices then advanced to from $7.50 to 

 *9 per bushel. Since that date impor- 

 tations have continued to arrive, until 

 there is now more imported seed avail- 

 able for fall seetling than there was in 

 ^his country a year ago at this tune. 

 This seed, according to the depart- 

 nie'it's information, was all imported 

 at approximately the same price as that 

 '^old for $4 to $4.50 per bushel m the 

 «arly part of the season. The i.resent

hij^h price, therefore, is regarded by 

 the department as unwarranted from 

 the standpoint of the supply and the 

 import j)rice of the seed. Some dealers 

 are continuing to sell at the former 

 price. Imt these are exceptions. 



KEEPING THEM DOWN. 



The Interstate Commerce Commission 

 has directed the Texas & Pacific rail- 

 road to refund $104 to T-.uke B. Babin
