with us is turning out very poorly, and 

 in several cases we have been notified by 

 our growers that the peas that they are 

 growing on contract for us are such a 

 poor crop that they are not worth har- 

 ' vesting and in this case we are the total 

 loser. It appears to us that the pea crop 

 will run ten to twenty per cent below 

 the yield of a year ago, which appears 

 to be a fact from the pea crops that we 

 have received up to the present date. ' ' 



E. L. Olmsted, superintendent of the 

 Wisconsin branch of the Everett B. Clark 

 Seed Co., wrote September 5: "In this 

 immediate vicinity no damage has been 

 done to growing crops by cold or frost. 

 The writer has no reports from any of 

 his territory showing such damage. There 

 has, however, been considerable damage 

 done to the bean crops in lower Michigan 

 by frosts.''
