tracts, as a great deal of growing terri- 

 tory has been snowbound and now for 

 some time to come the roads will be im- 

 passable on account of the mud; but we 

 presume that when these obstacles are 

 removed, the farmers will be found will- 

 ing to plant about the usual acreage of 

 beans and we shall all, by planting time, 

 be able to get our seed stocks, into the 

 ground, although at the present time 

 there is some little anxiety on this score. 



"The conditions in the growing terri- 

 tory have, of course, necessitated consid- 

 erable advance in the prices to the seed 

 trade, particularly on beans, and we can- 

 not see how beans can but be worth 

 good money next year. Unquestionably, 

 the 1910 crop has been contracted with 

 the seed trade too low. The conditions 

 that the growers had to face were not 

 properly reckoned with when the grow- 

 ing prices to the seed trade were named, 

 and when a great many of the contracts 

 were booked; and as a result a great 

 many of the contract beans of 1910 crop 

 are sure to be handled by the growers 

 at little or no profit; at least, handling 

 them the way we do, we cannot figure 

 out much profit at contract prices that 

 prevailed, say, sixty days ago. 



"As to stocks of peas and beans at 

 the present time, we presume everybody 

 is agreed that they are well reduced, and 

 next year we shall have to depend solely 

 upon the new crop, which, by the way, 

 is about as satisfactory a condition as 

 we could ask for."
