The consolidated Boston seed houses

 tler, Fiske & Rawson. 



The greater portion of the state of 

 Nebraska received a good soaking July 7, 

 the precipitation in some places reaching 

 two inches. 



F. L. HOGUE, president of the Hogue- 

 Kellogg Co., Ventura, Cal., said July 5 

 that Lima bean crops in that district 

 never had looked better at that date. 



The government crop report as of 

 July 1 gave the condition of corn in Ne- 

 braska as 86, which is just the 10-year 

 average, as against 91 a year ago, but 

 the condition has improved considerably 

 since the date of the report. 



Eain is needed in practically all the 

 seed-growing sections east of the Rocky 

 mountains. Crops are suflfering, but there 

 will be a rapid recovery of lost ground 

 when good rains come, as they almost 

 always do before it is too late. 



The Iowa pure seed law is to receive 

 a test July 27 at Red Oak as applied to a 

 farmer who sold seed corn to planters, in 

 competition with the seedsmen, and is 

 alleged to have delivered stock that did 

 not come up to the standard required by 

 the law. 



Travelers for northern seed houses 

 have been prospecting in Texas and are 

 sending home glowing reports of condi- 

 tions there. Business with the seed 

 houses there is excellent. There has 

 been plenty of rain and market gardeners 

 and truckers are feeling fine. Texas will 

 have a big crop of corn this year — it 

 no longer is a one crop state and seed 

 orders there are not for packets or even 

 pounds; Texas is one of the big seed 

 buyers. 



NEBRASKA CHOP CONDITIONS. 



William Emerson, manager of the 

 "Western Seed and Irrigation 0©., re- 

 ports generous rains throughout Ne- 

 braska l.Tst week and a marked im- 

 provement in the condition of crops 

 growing for seed. Writing from Fre- 

 mont July 9, he said: 



'•'Nearly all sections of Nebraska 

 have been favored with generous rains 

 this past week, with cooler weather,

and, we understand, the sections that 

 needed rain the most have been favored 

 with same. 



"In this immediate vicinity we have 

 had three good showers this week and 

 a heavy shower this morning, and our 

 crop reports from nearly all sections of 

 Nebraska have been coming in, show- 

 ing from fair to good stands in nearly 

 all cases for vine seeds, but some small 

 lots of corn were lost entirely during 

 the cold, dry weather during May, in 

 some cases necessitating replanting 

 with other varieties, causing some of 

 the corn crops to be late, although re- 

 cent reports show that the corn is 

 doing well. 



"In some of the muskmelon and 

 watermelon growing districts the long 

 continued dry weather and high winds 

 caused either partial stands or no 

 stands whatever in some cases where 

 the crops were blown out by the wind 

 or cut off by the sand. We have been 

 receiving reports this week, however, 

 from these sections showing they have 

 had liberal rains recently, which we 

 trust will help the crops in those lo- 

 calities, so that they will not be total 

 failures. 



"While some of the crops will be 

 late, we hope with favorable conditions 

 the balance of the season to receive 

 fair crops from most of our growers 

 although it is rather early to tell any- 

 thing about deliveries." 



HOLLAND SEED CHOPS. 



The seed growers in the Groningen 

 district of Holland are well pleased 

 with the situation to date. This dis- 

 trict was favored by an exceptionally 

 mild winter, the only loss of stock be- 

 ing on some low lands where there was 

 too much moisture. The growing sea- 

 son thus far has been good and, with 

 favorable weather at harvest, a much 

 better yield than in 1909 is looked 

 forward to. 



Radish is an especially important 

 crop in this district and has suffered

 are generally good. A considerable 

 quantity of turnip is grown and, while 

 the winter loss was insignificant, only 

 a moderate yield is expected, insects 

 having done considerable harm. Another 

 important crop is spinach, of which a
