creasing the number of shares from 32,- 

 000 to 42,000, of a par value of $25 per 

 share. All the new stock will be taken 

 by the company's present stockholders. 

 "We have been putting a good deal 

 of money into new buildings and addi- 

 tions to our plant and it seemed only 

 right we should increase the capital to 

 offset this outlay, ' ' said Lem W. Bowen, 

 president and general manager. "We 

 are planning no further extensions at 

 present." -

THE PACK OF PEAS. 



A short pack of peas with the can- 

 ners may not mean a short crop for 

 seed purposes, although the similar con- 

 ditions are likely to occur together, but 

 the results for the canning season always 

 are of interest to the seedsmen. The 

 pack is pretty well over. One Wis- 

 consin packer reports but sixty cases 

 of Alaskas to the acre, against ninety 

 to 310 cases under ordinary weather 

 conditions. Other packers in that state 

 estimate an output of but fifty per cent 

 on early and thirty to sixty per cent on 

 late varieties, according to locations. 

 The peas also promise to be uneven in 

 quality, owing to lack of moisture. 



Why the seed supply may be better 

 than the pack is shown by the refer- 

 ences to get-away crops in the letters 

 from several packers: "We have had 

 extremely dry, hot weather. To illus- 

 trate the condition here, will say we 

 started packing peas on Monday and 

 have already jumped 200 acres and left 

 them for seed purposes. I understand 

 they are having the same conditions in 

 many sections of this state." 



A leading packer in Michigan writes: 

 ' * We feel at the present time if we har- 

 vest fifty per cent of a pea crop we will 

 do well. This is about the way things 

 ;,ro in this state all over as far as peas 



go. Wisconsin, I understand, is in much 

 worse shape than we are. I had a man 

 over here today from that state and he 

 told me the best crops of peas were in 

 Warsaw , and in that vicinity they 

 would not harvest much more than fifty 

 per cent of a crop at best. Our Alaskas 

 are coming in all at once. We are doing 

 everything we can to save our crop. 

 The first, second and third sowing are 

 coming all together, and this is the case 



with the entire crop of Alaska peas in 

 Michigan and Wisconsin." 



THE FIELD SEED BUSINESS. 



Slightly over 50,000 mail orders for 

 seeds were filled this season by the 

 Henry Field Seed Co., Shenandoah, la., 

 representing a good gain over the pre- 

 vious season and affording funds for a 

 dividend of 8 per cent, declared July
