per thousand, iinder paragraph 263 of 

 the tariff act of 1909. 



According to a report from Dallas, 

 the seed houses there recently met a large 

 demand for Milo maize, Kaffir corn, 

 June corn and cotton seed to go to the 

 Comanche county section of Oklahoma, 

 where thousands of acres* of crops were 

 destroyed by a heavy storm June 28. 



The Henry Field Seed Co., Shenan- 

 doah, Iowa, held its annual meeting July 

 1 and declared a dividend of nine per 

 cent, eight per cent having been paid 

 regularly heretofore throughout the com- 

 pany's existence. Directors were reelected 

 as follows: Henry Tield, A. L. P. 

 Thompson, H. E. Eaton, G. C. Mitchell, 

 D. S. Lake and E. S. Welch, and A. M. 

 Eldridge was elected to a vacancy. Henry 

 Field was reelected president^ and general 

 manager, A. L. P. Thompson, vice-presi- 

 dent, and H. E, Eaton, secretary and 

 trasurer. It was stated that the postage 

 bill for the year was $15,639.91. 



PEAS HAVE SUFFERED. 



Jackson, Mich., July 7. — Our vine 

 and other crops in Jackson county have 

 started out very nicely, and we do not 

 believe the extreme heat has done any 

 particular harm. It is considerably 

 cooler today and, as we have up to this 

 time been favored with sufficient mois- 

 ture, we believe no great damage will 

 result. "We cannot say the same, how- 

 ever, for peas. In the northern part of 

 the state they have suffered very 

 greatly. Conditions were worse than 

 during the heated spell last summer.

WISCONSIN PEAS CUT IN HALF? 



The following letter has been re- 

 ceived from the head of one of the 

 oldest and largest firms operating in 

 the Sturgeon Bay section of Wisconsin: 



"The heat is more extreme and pro- 

 longed than any similar experience we 

 have had since being in the seed trade, 

 now covering a good many years, and 

 the effect is very damaging to our 

 crops, but more especially to those that 

 were just in blossom or beginning to 

 pod at the time this heat struck the 

 pea belt. 



"Some of our most experienced men 

 write us that they expect the crop re- 

 turns have been cut right into halves on 

 most green wrinkled varieties, by this 

 hot wave, and you will readily under- 

 stand this makes it impossible for any- 

 one to give reports that can in any way 

 be reliable to the trade." 



PEAS AND BEANS. 



Grand Rapids, Mich., July 10. — This 

 morning we received a partial report 

 of the crop conditions, which is any- 

 thing but favorable so far as peas in 

 northern Michigan are concerned. The 

 extremely hot weather, without any rain, 

 has shortened the early varieties of 

 peas 80 that we can hardly expect any 

 better results than we had a year ago. 

 With late varieties it is still problem- 

 atical. If we should have rain and 

 cool weather it would help some, but 

 we fear the extremely dry, hot weather 

 has injured them to a considerable ex- 

 tent, so that even under the most fa- 

 vorable conditions we might have 

 from now until harvest, we could not 

 expect to harvest a full crop by any 

 means. On the other hand, should it 

 continue dry and hot, there is little
