given as 34,438,000, against 28,582,000 

 for 1911. The comparative figures for 

 each article are: 



1912. 1911. 



Tomatoes 14,022,000 9,749,000 



Corn 13,109,000 14,301,000 



Peas 7,307,000 4,532,000 



The figures on peas will surprise 

 seedsmen, as there was complaint early 

 in the season that canners were short 

 of seed, and later the canners made 

 the same report as seed growers, that 

 the crop was light. 



SUES FOR FALSE ARREST. 



At Port Jarvis, N. Y., J. J. Bell, of 

 Deposit, has brought an action for 

 $25,000 damages against Charles H. 

 Putnam for alleged false imprisonment 

 and libel. The suit is a sequel to Mr. 

 Bell's arrest last spring on complaint 

 of Mr. Putnam, charged with opening 

 mail intended for Mr, Putnam. The com- 

 plainant in the action alleges that May 

 25 Mr. Putnam made a verified com- 

 plaint against Mr. Bell before a U. S. 

 commissioner charging Bell with tak- 

 ing from a letter carrier a letter mailed 

 by Mrs. E. V. Wallace, of Hubbards- 

 ville, N. Y., addressed to the J. J. Bell 

 Seed Co., with a design to obstruct the 

 correspondence and pry into the busi- 

 ness secrets of the Bell Seed Co. Mr. 

 Bell was arrested and gave bail, but 

 October 10 the proceedings were dis- 

 missed and Bell discharged. 



Mr. Putnam bought a half interest 

 in the Bell Seed Co. in 1906, and in the 

 following year took over the entire 

 business, paying a total of $10,000. In 

 1909 Mr. Bell again went into the seed 

 business, under the name of the Deposit 

 Seed Co. Mr. Putnam, in his answer 

 to the complaint, alleges that many of 

 the patrons of the Bell Seed Co. have 

 addressed their letters to .T. ,T. Bell, 

 seedsman, and that many of the letters 

 have been delivered to .T. ,T. Bell and 

 the orders ^lled by the Deposit Seed Co. 



THE INSECTICIDE LAW. 



According to the oflQcial figures of 

 the U. S. Department of Agriculture, 

 "during the fiscal year 203 domestic 

 samples of insecticides and fungicides 

 (other than cattle dips and closely al- 

 lied preparations) and twenty-five for- 

 eign or import samples have been ex- 

 amined under the provisions of the 

 insecticide act of 1910. This act was 

 designed to prevent the misbranding 

 and adulteration of such goods, and 

 its good effects can already be seen 

 by users of these commodities. Of the 

 293 domestic samples examined, 131 

 were reported to the insecticide and 

 fungicide board as adulterated or mis- 

 branded, and of the twenty-five foreign 

 samples fourteen were recommended 

 for detention at the port of entry."
