The high cost of clover is causing as 

 much annoyance as the high cost of liv- 

 ing. 



The law has little regard for busy sea- 

 sons: J. C. Leonard, Chicago, is on the 

 jury- 



J. W. BiTTENBENDER has Opened a seed 

 store in Knoxville, la., under the name of 

 the All Grow Seed House. 



Market onions are spoiling badly, ac- 

 cording to reports. This condition is not 

 local, but prevails generally. 



Visited Chicago: A. E. McKenzie, of 

 Brandon, Man. ; John Bodger, Jr., return- 

 ing home to California from his annual 

 eastern trip. 



Some of the trade will be interested 

 in a bulletin issued February 10, by the 

 U. S. Department of Agriculture, en- 

 titled "Chalcidids Injurious to Forest- 

 tree Seeds." 



It has not yet been denronstrated that 

 the seed peas grown under irrigation will 

 meet all requirements, but as far as ap- 

 pearance of sample goes they seem to be 

 quite satisfactory this year. 



The regular spring operations have 

 been in progress in the Holland bulb 

 fields all through the month of February. 

 Nearly all the bulb fields showed growth 

 at the opening of the month, the season 

 being even earlier than last year. 



Senator Kenyon, of Iowa, will fight 

 the congressional free seed distribution 

 when the agricultural appropriation bill 

 comes up in the Senate this week. He 

 has proposed an amendnrent to the bill to 

 strike out the appropriation for the dis- 

 tribution. 



Perhaps a suggestion as to the possi- 

 bilities of the parcel post may be ob- 

 tained from the fact that the Henry 

 Field Seed Co., of Shenandoah, Ta., re- 

 cently received an order for a garden 

 drill, to be sent by parcel post to the far 

 west, and the implement was mailed as 

 ordered — not in one parcel, however, 

 but in three or four. 



A. CoLYN, of C. Colyn & Sons, Voor- 

 hout, Holland, was at Chicago last week 

 on his twentieth annual trip. When he 

 made his first rounds there were not more 

 than a dozen Holland firms sending each 

 a representative to America. He esti- 

 mates that the business has increased ten- 

 fold in the time and that now from forty 

 to fifty bulb growers send representatives 

 over annually, all but three or four of 

 them two or more men. He believes that 

 over 100 Holland salesmen are now on 

 tour in this country. 



The McMillan Bros.' Seed Co. was or- 

 ganized recently in Atlanta, Ga., with 

 offices in the Bridge block, on South 

 Broad street. The officers of the com- 

 pany are: President and general man- 

 ager, Archie H. McMillan; vice-president, 

 Robert Hi McMillan ; secretary and treas- 

 urer, L. D, White. Another firm of simi- 

 lar name, the McMillan Seed Co.. lias
