BBOWN IS PESSnUSTIO. 



The whole world is short on peas, ac- 

 cording to the summing up of Alfred J. 

 Brown, and the crops in the older pea- 

 growing sections of the United States 

 are little better than last year. This is 

 the way the Grand Bapids grower put 

 it in an interview Octpber 4: 



"Pea crops in Wisconsin, Michigan 

 and Ontario are not turning out much 

 better than a year ago, and if it were 

 not for the peas grown under irrigation 

 in the west we would be up against as 

 serious a shortage, if not worse than 

 last year. From all information we 

 can gather, it seems that all peas will 

 be needed. There was absolutely noth- 

 ing carried over. Crops in Germany 

 are better than they were a year ago, 

 but the Germans have few, if any, to 

 offer for export. Crops in Fra'nce are 

 only fair, while in England the crop is 

 poor. There has already been consid- 

 erable demand from Europe for Ameri- 

 can-grown peas and quite a few will be 

 exported from this country. 



"As regards beans, the incessantly 

 wet weather, which lasted almost from 

 planting time until harvest, has caused 

 damage that is beyond repair, no mat- 

 ter how favorable the weather is for 

 harvesting the crop; while, on the 

 other hand, if we should have wet 

 weather, the late maturing crops are 



IT will pay you to watch 

 this space each week for 

 we are giving a good deal 

 of thought to the message.
