man can say what they are; rates are 

 fixed only in accordance with the buy- 

 er's exigencies or the seller's opportu- 

 nities. Before another four months are 

 gone, famine prices are likely to pre- 

 vail." 



Mr. Deal 's words are entitled to more 

 than the usual consideration, for the 

 reason that in its issue for Septem- 

 ber 16, 1909, The Keview published an 

 interview, which was subsequently 

 copied by papers in England, France, 

 Germany, Italy, Australia and even in 

 hussia, in which Mr. Deal gave a long 

 range view of the future, and which 

 proved marvelously accurate in so far 

 as a single year could confirin the 

 prescient story of a decade. 



"A study of the j'ears goes to show 

 that a season of marketl <liaracter, as 

 liot and dry, is followed by others of 

 similar nature and progressive intensity. 

 Those who lau look back thirty years 

 in the seed growing business, as I do, 

 will fin<l they can confirm this. For 

 instance, this is the third wet year for 

 the seed growers of England and 

 France, and, in fact, all of Europe. 

 This year is worse than the last, which 

 was itself worse than the first; whether 

 or not we have passed the worst, no 

 man may say. For my part. I should 

 not be surprised if next year proves 

 for us in England practically sunless, 

 and . in any event I do not look for a 

 return all in one year to what we would 

 call an average good growing season. 



"The effect of the unfavorable condi- 

 tions of the last two seasons is too well 

 known to call for extensive comment, 

 except that it may be said that latest 

 advices from practically all important 

 *»rowing districts indicate the necessity 

 of a reduction from previous estimates, 

 none of which were sanguine. For in- 

 stance, our brassicas are now reported 

 to me to be turning out only one halt 

 to five-eighths the yield we figured on 

 when I left home six weeks ago. 



"My advice to anyone who holds 

 seeds is to 'sit on 'em,' as we say.
