ILWAUKEE, WIS. 



experiment stations in Wisconsin, Mich- 

 igan and New York, or by the United 

 States Department of Agriculture, and 

 a plan is being formulated jointly by 

 these institutions to carry aid t(t the 

 growers in case of a recurrence of the 

 diseases next year. Rotation of crops 

 is recommended. There is no evidence 

 that these diseases are spread through 

 the seed. 



PRICE THEM BY THE POUND. 



Several organizations of seedsmen 

 have gone on record as favoring the sale 

 of peas, beans, corn and grass seed by 

 the pound instead of by dry measure. 

 At the Washington meeting of the 

 American Seed Trade Association the 

 following resolutions were adopted and 

 Secretary Kendel was instructed to 

 bring them conspicuously to the atten- 

 tion of all seedsmen: 



Whereas: Weight is the real basis of prac- 

 tically all sales of seed; and 



Whereas: Selling or buying by measure sim- 

 ply makes an extra and a useless operation 

 as well as opiKjrtunity for error, since a measure 

 is seldom used except for three kinds of garden 

 set-ds and small quantities of lawn grass; and 



Whereas: The selling of seeds by weight 

 has proven entirely practical and successful in 

 many cases, and notably so in the west; and the 

 selling by weight of such seeds as are actually 

 measured by anyone, namely, peas, beans, sweet 

 corn, and lawn grass, has been tried success- 

 fully by large seed houses without any incon- 

 venience or question; and 



Whereas: Lawful weights on many items 

 in many states are far from correct; and where- 

 as the variation in legal weights as between the 

 different states causes considerable Inconvenience 

 and in numerous cases Is unfair to dealers; and 



Whereas: Some states are already passing 

 laws making It compulsory to sell seeds by 

 weight; and . ^ ^ , 



Whereas: Other associations have requested 

 us to take action on thl.s matter; therefore be it 



Reiolved: That it Is the sense of the Ameri- 

 can Seed Trade Association in convention as- 

 sembled that seedsmen should list and quote 

 seed by weight, the bushel measure being no 

 longer necessary; and further be It 



Resolved: That our secretary Inform the 

 seedsmen of America of this action on the part 

 of this association respectfully requesting them, 

 for their own and the common good, to abandon 

 the listing and quoting of seeds by measure 

 only, as rapidly as possible to do so without In- 

 jury to the trade; and further be it 



Resolved: That a copy of these reeolutions 

 be transmitted to the Bureau of Standards, 

 Washington, D. C. 



WILL USE PABCEL POST. 



The Post-Office Department estimates 

 that the expansion of the parcel post 

 by which plants, seeds and bulbs were 

 admitted to parcel post rates will in- 

 crease postal business at Yonges, S. C, 

 from $5,000 a year to more than $2,000 

 daily. Yonges has a population of only 

 fifty, but is the center of a large vege- 

 table plant growing section. In the 

 coming season of heaviest traffic ship- 

 ments of bulbs and vegetable plants are 

 expected to aggregate twenty-five tons
