 August 6 there were 157 cases of Bermu- 

 dian lily bulbs, consigned to L. D. Cross- 

 mond & Co., making total arrivals to 

 date 2,733 cases. 



The seedsmen are getting a reputation 

 at Washington as being great little op- 

 posers — for a long time seedsmen haven 't 

 been able to favor anything the govern- 

 ment has proposed doing.

 seeds. Some day the free seeds will have 

 to go.

 wUl establish a seed business in a new 

 location, or enter some other line. 

 Thomas Shelton succeeds his brother as 

 manager of the Southwestern Seed Co. 



The U. S. Department of Agriculture 

 recently issued a circular. No. 95, on 

 "The Seed-Corn Situatior," by C. P. 

 Hartley. It says : ' ' Unquestionably the 

 acre yield for 1912 will be reduced in 

 many states, owing to the planting of 

 poorly preserved or poorly adapted seed 

 corn. In the aggregate the loss will be 

 immense, but much of it will never be 

 attributed to this factor, because well- 

 adapted, well-preserved seed was not 

 available for demonstrating its value in 

 comparison with that planted. The cause 

 of corn being unfit for seed is commonly 

 attributed to exceptional weather condi- 

 tions. Such conditions may sometimes 

 be the cause, especially in the north, but 

 delay m selecting seed or the growing 

 of varieties maturing too late is usually 

 the true cause."
