A. C. ZvoLANEK, Bound .Brook, N. J., 

 is at Lompoc, Cal. 



The house of Chr. Olsen, Odense, Den- 

 mark, will in the coming season celebrate 

 its silver jubilee in the seed growing 

 business. 



Now the seed trade can settle down to 

 preparations for seed selling — the fall 

 bulbs and the Christmas greens are out 

 of the way. 



The California seed growers say that, 

 with the short crops abroad, it is not a 

 matter of great difficulty to get business 

 this season. 



In spite of all the talk about the 

 scarcity of peas, it is the beets and car- 

 rots that are getting the biggest boosts 

 in most of the retail catalogues. 



D. H. Beowne and C. H. Browne now 

 are the proprietors of the Arkansas "Val- 

 ley Seed House, Lakin, Kan., the former 

 having taken the place of Wm. Logan. 



The TJ. S. Department of Agriculture 

 has just issued a bulletin, No. 455, en- 

 titled "Red Clover," by J. M. West- 

 gate and F. H. Hillman, with notes on 

 the insect enemies of red clover by F. M. 

 Webster. 



W. W. Barnakd Co., Chicago, has ob- 

 tained possession of its new building on 

 West Madison street and the new front 

 ifl going in. The remodeling will be so 

 thorough that it will be several weeks 

 before removal will be begun. 



The Binding-Stevens Seed Co., of 

 Tulsa, Okla., has opened a store in the 

 Poland building, on West Main street, 

 Ardmore, Okla. The new store will be 

 conducted under the name of the Ard- 

 more Seed House, with L. J. Orth as 

 manager. The Binding-Stevens Co. also 

 has branches at Muskogee and Wichita. 



There will be a great increase this year 

 in the acreage of peas in Montana, Idaho 

 and, to a less extent, in Utah. Three 

 years of bad crops in Michigan and Wis- 

 consin have caused the trade to look 

 about for new fields and the notes in 

 The Eeview have turned the eyes of 

 many toward the Star of Empire, which 

 "westward takes its way." 



THE POTATO CBOP. 



The people of the United States eat 

 more than a million bushels of potatoes 

 every day in the year. 



In taking the last census, statistics 

 were gathered with regard to the. po- 

 tato crop of 1909 and these have just 

 become accessible. 



The land in potatoes increased from 

 2,939,000 acres in 1899 to 3,669,000 acres 

 in 1909, an increase of 730,000 acres, 

 or 24.8 per cent. The percentage of
