KOGERS GOES TO IDAHO. 



Referring to a report that Rogers 

 Bros., of Chaumont, N. Y., and Alpena, 

 Mich., are preparing to transfer their 

 operations to the new Idaho pea dis 

 trictr, A. L. Rogers was seen at Water- 

 town, X. v., while on a business trip 

 east, arid is credited with the following: 



'•'It is true that we are about to 

 leave Alpena,'' said Mr. Rogers. "We 

 started our business many years ago at 

 Chaumont. Then about ten years ago 

 we went to Alpena. It seemed to us 

 that there was a changing in the cli- 

 matic conditions there in the Chaumont 

 territory which we might escape in 

 Michigan. We grow peas and beans 

 exclusively and these i)lants. arc espe- 

 cially sensitive to climatic conditions. 

 There seems to be a changing of cli- 

 matic conditions from year to year. 

 Last year the crop was very })oor in 

 our locality, and we have decided to go 

 on to Idaho, where I have found ideal 

 conditions. " 



The reporter ad<led: "Mr. Rogers has 

 purchased 800 acres of land there, und 

 has access to the products of many more 

 hundred acres. ' ' 



IN GRATEFUL APPRECIATION. 



In a franked government envelope 

 marked "Official Business" an em- 

 ployee of The Review has received the 

 following interesting communication: 



AViisliiiiKton, D. ('.. .laimai-y 2T>, lOi:!. 

 Dear Sir: 



■ In rinii' for planting I will send to you a 

 package of (foveniiiicnt tiowcr sct-d. 



As an Intens*- lover of Howcrs and the Krowlntr 

 of plants myself, I hope you will either enjoy 

 pla'ntluK the seed which I send to yon or slve 

 them to HoUK- friend who can nnike pleasunt use 

 of them. 



Whil^ some people do not believe in the dis- 

 tribution of seed by the government, .vet it Is 

 <loubtless true that man.v new varieties of seed 

 liave been Introilnced into differttnt parts of the 

 country in this manner and I am sure that onr 

 own portion of <'liic-aj;o has had much beauty 

 added to it by the interest exelted through the 

 seed which I have sent out. With Krateful ap- 

 preciation of the kindness of onr CougresHlonnl 

 Pistrict to me. I am 



Yours very sincerel.v.
