this crop, and for this particular plant- 

 ing three bushels of seed per acre will 

 be used, amounting to over 9,000 bushels 

 of seed, every pound of which must be 

 shipped to Madison and distributed to 

 the growers. After harvest, the seed is 

 deducted and the farmer gets $1 per 

 bushel for the balance of the crop. 



"While it is true this first crop is an 

 experiment, there is every reason to be- 

 lieve it will prove immensely successful. 

 The company placing the contract did so 

 only after it had investigated every 

 available locality in the United States, 

 and the fact that it backed up its belief 

 in this region with over 9,000 bushels, or 

 $30,000 worth of seed the first year, is 

 conclusive evidence that it feels sure of 

 the result. There are comparatively few 

 regions in the United States where condi- 

 tions are just right for large successful 

 pea crops. South Dakota gives splendid 

 indications of being a good region for it. 

 At the Brookings experiment station in 

 1908 an experimental crop of garden peas 

 yielded at the rate of twenty-seven bush- 

 els per acre with late planting. This 

 should be an indication of what could be 

 expected of this 3,000-acre crop. It is 

 admitted, too, that there are many parts 

 of South Dakota as well or better adapted 

 than Brookings county for growing peas 

 and similar crops. In Wisconsin, long 

 considered one of the best regions for 

 this crop, the yield averaged in 1908 

 twenty-one bushels per acre, ranging from 

 fifteen bushels to forty bushels. It is 

 confidently expected that this year's 

 planting in South Dakota will run con- 

 siderably ahead of the 1908 Wisconsin 

 average. 



' ' The planting of this crop in South 

 Dakota is of far-reaching importance to 

 farmers and state residents. Success 

 with the first crop means that this region 

 will come to the front in long strides as 

 a producer of many varieties of garden 

 products and seeds. Next season this 

 same company will, if success attends the 

 crop this year, place contracts aggregat- 

 ing 10,000 acres of peas, and not only 

 will peas be grown next season, but 

 onions and sweet corn in equally large 

 quantities." 



SEED PARAGRAPH HELD UP. 



Tariff Schedule Not Yet Settled. 



In the consideration of the new tariff 

 bill in the Senate, the paragraph provid- 

 ing for specific duty on seeds was one of 

 those to early encounter obstacles. It 

 had been hoped that with the practically 

 unanimous endorsement of the seed trade, 

 as shown in last week's Eeview, the 

 paragraph on seeds would go through un- 

 challenged, but not only the seed para- 

 graph, but also the ones covering peas, 

 bulbs, orchids, palms and azaleas were 

 held up. Only those paragraphs cover- 

 ing beans and nursery stock were passed 

 without objection. 



In order to sift down the bill, Senator 

 Aldrich's draft was taken up in the 

 Senate paragraph by paragraph, those 

 paragraphs to which objection was made 

 to be laid over for future consideration. 



Paragraph 245, beans at 45 cents per 

 bushel, was passed without objection. 



Paragraph 258, peas, was objected to 

 by Senator Dupont. 



Paragraph 259, orchids, palms, dra- 

 caenas, crotons, azaleas and bulbs, was 

 objected to by Senator Dupont. 



Paragraph 260, nursery stock, was 

 passed without objection.
