French seed growers have had too 

 much moisture. 



There were good rains through 

 Nebraska and the corn belt on the 

 night of August 1. 



Dealings in beans and peas in the city 

 of New York now are required by ordi- 

 nance to be on the basis of net weights. 



It hardly over turns out that seed crops 

 are as short as predicted and it is quite 

 possible that the alarmists may have over- 

 stated the disaster in the pea district. 



Better weather conditions during the 

 last week have served to allay in a meas- 

 ure the fears for corn, vine and other seed 

 crops. 



Reports from the California Lima bean 

 district are to the effect that weather 

 conditions have been good during the lat- 

 ter part of July, giving the growing crops 

 an excellent appearance at the end of the 

 month. 



Seed growing conditions in the Erfurt 

 and Quedlinburg districts of Germany ap- 

 pear to be rather more favorable than 

 they are in other large seed growing sec- 

 tions anywhere in the world this season, 

 although California has had little to com- 

 plain of. 



Seitaro Arai, of Yokohama, Japan, ad- 

 vises Ralph M. Ward & Co., New York, 

 that the crop of longiflorum lily bulbs in 

 the island of Oshima, which he visited in 

 June, will be about a million less than 

 expected, in salable bulbs, ' ' the shortage, 

 strange to say, being in the smaller sizes 

 of 6 to 8 and 7 to 9." 



In response to a demand for greater 

 knowledge of the cultural methods which 

 are best adapted to seed growing, the 

 United States Department of Agricul- 

 ture has just issued a new publication, 

 Bulletin 184 of the Bureau of Plant In- 

 dustry, under the title, "The Production 

 of Vegetable Seeds: Sweet Corn, Garden 

 Peas and Beans." This discusses the 

 whole subject thoroughly and gives in- 

 structions for securing crops of seeds 

 for these different species. It is written 

 for the farmer rather than the seedsman, 

 but will interest anyone in any way con- 

 nected with the business.

TOO MUCH RAIN IN OHIO. 



Writing from Chillicothe, 0., July 

 30, Schilder Bros, had this to say of 

 the weather and the prospects for crops 

 of onion sets and onion seed: 



"In southern Ohio we have had too 

 much rain for seed crops. We also un- 

 derstand that from July 1 to 17 it 

 rained every day in the Louisville onion 

 set district and there have been at least 

 five rains since that time. Also in a 

 certain onion seed growing section 100 

 miles west of us they have had a tre- 

 mendous amount of rain, and it has hurt 

 the crop. We know of one grower who 

 plowed^ up eight acres this week. A 

 month ago it looked as though there 

 would be at least 3,000 poiuids of 8£e.4. 

 on this piece of ground. 



"We are harvesting our onion sets.

Seventy-five per cent of the gro^ets

 less bushels than^ usual. Cold, wet
