An increase of capital stock from 

 $25,000 to $50,000 has been registered 

 by the Milwaukee Seed Co., of Milwau- 

 kee, Wis. 



One of the reports from Holland says 

 that in certain cases bulb warehouses 

 have been emptied and are used as bar- 

 racks for the Dutch army. 



America can grow practically every 

 variety of seed that is grown in Europe. 

 All that is necessary is care and con-- 

 tinuity of effort. The only advantage 

 Europe has is in cheaper labor, 



Arnold Eingiee, of the W. W. Barnard 

 (Jo., Chicago, has returned from Excelsior 

 Springs, Mo., where he has been conva- 

 lescing from his recent severe illness. He 

 still is weak and has lost much weight. 



The custom house records show that 

 importations of seeds are unusually nu- 

 merous for this date and it appears that, 

 in the aggregate, considerable quanti- 

 ties of grass, clover, vegetable and flower 

 ^eds are arriving. 



It begins to look as though, after all, 

 the German valley pips will get across, 

 perhaps with some little delay. This will 

 call for a revision of plans on the part 

 of many who had jumped to the conclu- 

 sion that valley would be an impossibility. 



Incorporation papers have been is- 

 sued to L. K. Elsberry & Co., of Geneseo, 

 £11., for "growing, maturing, marketing 

 and dealing in all kinds of seed. ' ' The 

 capital stock is $10,000, and the incor- 

 porators are G. D. Sutton, Lois E. Sutton 

 and L. K. Elsberry. 



Reports to hand since last issue indi- 

 cate that mails to and from Germany are 

 getting through and that the German 

 crops have been or are being harvested. 

 The exporters are feeling around for 

 transportation and the chances appear to 

 be good they will find it. 



Maine farmers have devoted 128,000 

 acres to potatoes this year, and the United 

 States crop reporting board estimates 

 that the crop will be 27,085,000 bushels. 

 That means more than 211 bushels to 

 the acre. If the prediction holds true, 

 Maine will have increased her yield 16.8 

 per cent in two years. 



The larger Holland bulb exporting 

 houses DOW maintain permanent repre- 

 sentatives not only in America but in 

 other bulb consuming countries. For in- 

 stance, Van Waveren & Kruijff, whose 

 headquarters are at Sassenheim, Holland, 

 have branches in the United States, Ger- 

 many, Brazil, Russia and Sweden. 



The 136-page volume which carries 

 the proceedings of the thirty-second an- 

 nual convention of the American Seed 

 Trade Association, held at Washington 

 June 23 to 25, is well arranged and neat- 

 ly bound in thet usual style of the asso- 

 ciation 's proceedings. The 136 pages 

 only include the association's material; 

 there are twenty-four more in the insert 

 entitled "The Legal Aspect," which 

 contains a baker's dozen articles on the 

 laws affecting seedsmen, reprinted from
