 act approved August 24, 1912, continuing 

 said articles under the provisions fixed 

 by Section 482 of the postal laws and 

 regulations is hereby repealed." 



In beans, Wardwell's and Davis' Wax 

 seem to be about the shortest of any at 

 present. All varieties, however, are quite 

 short compared with last year and the 

 outlook for good stock seed is not en- 

 couraging. 



Edward Webb, senior member of the 

 prominent English seed firm, Edward 

 Webb & Sons, of Stourbridge, died in 

 Paris, France, January 21, in his sixty- 

 ninth year. Mr. Webb did some im- 

 portant work in the improvement of 

 garden and field seeds. 



J. H. Everett & Son, for many years 

 in the wholesale field seed business at 

 29 West Alabama street, Atlanta, Ga., 

 have taken possession of the adjoining 

 store, doubling their space to make room 

 for the new business they have recently 

 started under the name of the Everett 

 Seed Co. The Everett Seed Co. will deal 

 in garden and field seeds at wholesale 

 and retail. 



It looks as though those who wish -seeds 

 kept out of the parcel post will have a 

 continual fight on their hands. The pub- 

 lic does not understand the seedsmen's 

 view and even the postmaster general 

 has recommended that seeds be "let 

 in." What the seedsmen wanted, when 

 the law was under consideration, was to 

 be permitted to stay out. Perhaps 

 some of them now are changing their 

 minds f 



Howard Nash has purchased the in- 

 terest of the Ransom family, being about 

 eighty-six per cent of the stock, in the 

 Champaign Seed Co., Champaign, 111. 

 The company has been established about 

 two years and was incorporated last year 

 with capital stock of $10,000. The com- 

 pany deals in farm seeds in a wholesale 

 and retail way. The new management 

 expects to increase the capital and con- 

 duct the business on an extensive scale. 

 B. C. Henness, who has had charge of the 

 concern for the last year, and who owns 

 the balance of the stock in the company^ 

 will have the . management. Mr. Nash 

 has been elected president of the com- 

 pany, and Mr. Henness secretary. Tlie 

 company is located at 10 East University 

 avenue, but will build a store and ware- 

 house at the expiration of its lease.

One surprise has been the scarcity that 

 has developed in cow peas. There was an 

 unusually large acreage in Tennessee last 

 season and they produced a heavy crop 

 of hay. Yet there has seldom been a sea- 

 son when the price was so high for the 

 peas at this season, $2.25 to $2.35 at 

 Nashville being received for all that are 

 sold. It seems that the growers cut them 

 all for hay, hence the shortage.
