The Fain Seed Ck)., of Jackson, Miss., 

 has been incorporated by J. B. Fain and 

 L. C. Moorer, both of Jackson, with a 

 capital stock of $10,000. 



There seldom has been a year so favor- 

 able for the finishing of the western seed 

 corn crop. The germination in 1915 

 should test unusually high. 



A BRANCH warehouse at Groningen, 

 belonging to Sluis & Groot, Enkhuizen, 

 Holland, was burned September 23, with 

 its contents, in process of drying. Large 

 lots of seed, especially radish and spinach, 

 were destroyed. 



The Oommissioner of the Louisiana 

 Department of Agriculture has stated 

 that inasmuch as the last legislature did 

 not provide an appropriation for cajry- 

 ing into effect the new Louisiana seed 

 law, the department has as yet made no 

 rules and regulations, and advises seeds- 

 men to continue their business as hereto- 

 fore, until further notice. 



The constitutionality of the Nebraska 

 pure seed law is being attacked by the 

 GriBwold Seed Co., of Lincoln, Neb., in 

 the case of the state against the seed 

 company on the charge of selling adul-

 case before Judge Cornish, of the District 

 court, at Lincoln, the information on 

 which the charge is brought was de- 

 murred to as well. 



It is stated that in view of the excep-

 than twenty of the leading British seed 

 firms have agreed not to send out any 

 catalogues before December 25. The 

 council of the Horticultural Trades' As- 

 sociation has voted to approve this deci- 

 sion and also to go further and see if 

 steps can be taken to make this a perma-

AccoRDTNo to a Holland report pub- 

 lished in a British trade paper, "prohibi- 

 tive action has been taken by the United 

 States government. No more bulbs of 

 any kind are being admitted to the United 

 States unless the shipper can prove that 

 such bulbs have been actually bought or 

 ordered at a certain price by the con- 

 signee resident there." This deserves a 

 heading, and "Interesting if True" is 

 suggested. 



It is reported in England that a repre- 

 sentative of the U. S. Department of Ag- 

 riculture has visited the establishment of 

 Kelway & Son, at Langport, and increased 

 the government order for the free seed 

 distribution to where it now calls for
