operations, and his advancement is large- 

 ly due to his success in this work. 



The number of new concerns reported 

 from week to week as starting in the 

 seed business is really remarkable. Evi- 

 dently the trade is increasing at an ex- 

 tremely rapid rate. 



The aphis appears to be the thing the 

 California sweet pea growers have most 

 to fear. As yet they are absolutely 

 without means of controlling it and it is 

 threatening the very existence of the in- 

 dustry. 



J. A. Shelton, who until recently was 

 manager of the Southwestern Seed Co., 

 Payetteville, Ark., accompanied by his 

 wife, is on a pleasure trip through Colo- 

 rado, Utah and California, returning 

 through southern Texas. They expect to 

 be gone two or three months. 



It is said that the Pennsylvania rail- 

 road is negotiating for the purchase of 

 certain property along the south branch 

 of the Chicago river and the following 

 has appeared in local dailies: "The 

 property owned by the Chicago Utilities 

 Co.," said S. W. Tracy, vice-president, 

 "is now under lease to the Dickinson 

 Seed Co., which has a large warehouse 

 there. As soon as the Dickinson com- 

 pany's lease expires, within a year, the 

 tunnel company will use the site for 

 warehouse and tunnel purposes." 



ViCE-CoNSUL Chaeles F. Bbissel, at 

 Amoy, China, in a report to the Bureau 

 of Manufactures of the Department of 

 Commerce and Labor, states that the 

 production of narcissus bulbs, in connec- 

 tion with the generally splendid crops 

 in the immediate vicinity of Anioy, has 

 greatly increased, so that bulbs which 

 in former years sold for about $8.25 gold 

 to $9.40 per 1,000 bulbs in Amoy, are 

 this year selling at from $6 to $7 per 

 1,000. He further states that the dis- 

 trict of Chang Chow, about thirty miles 

 from Amoy, grows practically all of these 

 bulbs and is the only section of China 

 which produces bulbs of such excellence. 



C. S. Clark, Wakeman, O.-, has just 

 returned home from a 1,000-mile auto 

 trip around the middle states, which took 

 in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, part of Illi- 

 nois and Michigan. He is fully con- 

 vinced that the corn crop is fully three 

 weeks to a month late. This is due to 

 a cold summer and too much rain. The 

 oat crop was found a month late and it 

 has been so wet that many fields have 

 rotted down. The farmers could not get 

 into the fields to harvest and in many sec- 

 tions those cut have never been dry 

 enough to stack or thrash and they have 

 molded in the shocks. "We must have 

 a warm September and a late fall to get 

 any ripe corn out of the middle states, ' ' 

 says Mr. Clark. 



The Secretary of Agriculture issued 

 a warning, August 29, to prospective 

 purchasers of hairy vetch seed against 

 certain lots of low grade which are now 

 being offered by wholesalers to the 

 smaller dealers. The greater part of the 

 hairy vetch seed used in the United 

 States has thus far been imported from 

 Europe. Among recent importations 

 there are a number of seed of low qual- 

 ity, containing from fifteen to eighty 

 per cent of hairy vetch seed, the balance 

 being made up either of cultivated forms 

 of spring vetch, which are not hardy in 

 the northern states, or of various species 

 of wild vetches, of doubtful value for 

 agricultural purposes. This low-grade
