purchaser that the seed is of the best 

 quality, but must meet the lowest man's 

 price. 



It is time that the counter trade be- 

 gan to do its part, but those interested in 

 this line report it quite backward in the 

 west. 



That the duty on seeds, whether spe- 

 cific or otherwise, will be put through 

 regardless of the wishes of the seedsmen, 

 seems to be the general opinion of those 

 in the trade. It is somewhat in the same 

 category as free seed distribution. 



Some seed for onion sets has been 

 planted in the north end of the Chicago 

 district. It is well to get the seed in 

 early, but the weather is not such as to 

 make it advisable to do much planting. 

 Within the next two weeks, however, it is 

 expected that many thousands of pounds 

 of onion seed will go in for sets. Some 

 growers say that there will be more seed 

 than usual planted. Others say not as 

 much as usual, and there you are. 



The bean growers report that the out- 

 look for placing contracts with the farm- 

 ers is going to be uphill work. It is 

 rather early for them to give out any- 

 thing definite, but the same conditions 

 prevail in the placing of bean contracts 

 as was the case with putting out peas. 

 New sections are being looked for and as 

 far as is possible prices to the farmer 

 will be held where they were last year. 

 The condition of the field bean market 

 and the prices at which the farmers can 

 get contract's for this variety will have 

 its influence. It is expected, however, 

 that in general prices to the farmer who 

 takes garden varieties on contract will be 

 above last year's. 



The pea growers report that acreages 

 for the 1909 crop are secured for the 

 most part. There has been a general ad-

 farmers, and the slight additional ad- 

 vance of price to the pro rata purchaser 

 will not offset it. It has been one of the 

 hardest years in the history of pea grow-
