one-half of the tonnage goes to Europe> 

 the larger part to England, but quite a 

 quantity to the Continent. ' ' 



Those who like both the yellow kernel 

 and the white in sweet com can now se- 

 cure a combination of the two colors on 

 the same cob. 



Judging from the long list of success- 

 ful bidders, the free distribution of seeds 

 la likely to be a permanent rather than 

 a vanishing institution. 



The J. W. Jung Seed Co., Randolph, 

 Wis., reports having recently booked an 

 order from the Great Northern railroad 

 for 1,000 bushels Swedish Select oats 

 for use on its experimental farms. 



TOO WET IN WASHINGTON. 



The following is from a local news- 

 paper published at Bellingham, Wash.: 



* ' Because of heavy rains of last year, 

 which ruined hundreds of tons of seed, 

 the Morse Seed Co., San Francisco, has 

 decided not to let seed contracts in this 

 vicinity this year. This announcement 

 is made by Vander Yacht, of Lynden, 

 whose brother acted as agent for the 

 company here last .year. Mr. Yacht has 

 the following to say: 



" 'While it is true that last season 

 was the first in many years when rains 

 during harvest have done any harm, the 

 seed company doesn't seem to take that 

 into account. I understand that it pro- 

 poses to grow seed this year in Idaho. 



" 'The D. M. Ferry people also con- 

 tracted for a lot of seed peas in the 

 neighborhood of Lynden last year. I 

 haven't heard if they will contract 

 again this year or not. The growing of 

 seed peas is profitable work in good 

 years, such as we usually have. From 

 $50 to $75 an acre is not an unusually 

 high profit for the farmer to make on 

 them. It will be too bad if the industry 

 is abandoned here just on account of 

 the one bad season.' " 



ONION SETS. 



Beports show onion sets in brisk de- 

 mand. Beds seem to be shorter than 

 yellows, and whites of a good quality 

 are scarce. The growing season of 

 1912 was both good and bad; good in

the sense that the crop generally was 

 large; bad in the sense that the late 

 spring kept a part of the crop back- 

 ward, causing a late harvest for that 

 part. A late harvest is always bad for 

 an onion set crop. Besides this, many 

 of the operators, through ignorance of 

 metL->d8, perhaps, compel their grow- 

 ers to hold back deliveries to the 

 warehouses; consequently, sets already 

 spoiled somewhat by late harvesting 

 were held in the fields until the damp 

 nights of the fall added to the infec- 

 tion and the general poor condition of 

 all such sets resulted in a heavy shrink 

 from softness and rot. The better
