as to their vitality. On this point one 

 of the large concerns at Salt Lake City 

 writes: 



"In reply to your inquiry of August 

 31, we are sorry we cannot give you 

 any definite information relative to the 

 vitality of seed peas grown on irrigated 

 land in Utah, but our opinion is that 

 they would fulfill all requirements." 



The Vogeler Seed & Produce Co., of 

 Salt Lake City, says: "There are a 

 good many seed peas being grown in 

 Utah, our mountain valleys being espe- 

 cially adapted to the proper growth and 

 <levelopment of garden peas, the vital- 

 ity of which we deem equal to the 

 Michigan and "Wisconsin grown and far 

 superior to the California grown stocks. 

 We believe that if some experienced 

 growers would locate in this section 

 they could develop splendid trade." 



A contract pea grower whose opera- 

 tions do not include the Utah district 

 says: "The growing of seed peas under 

 irrigation is still in the experimental 

 .stage. As far as the vitality is con- 

 cerned, . there is no reason why peas 

 grown in this way should be less vital 

 than those grown where irrigation is 

 not needed. The one doubtful feature 

 is whether or not the type can be main- 

 tained where irrigation is used. In any 

 event it is thought that it will always 

 be necessary to come back to the nat- 

 urally grown product for the stock 

 seed." 



BAD PROSPECTS. 



"It would be a doleful storj-," says 

 one of the large New York importers, 

 "if we told all the facts, but we think 

 the trade should know what we have 

 written. Shall be glad to verify any of 

 the statements made, if necessary, as 

 all are taken from recent reports." 

 What he wrote follows: 



"The hot summer weather and long 

 continued drought in Europe are having 

 a disastrous oflfect upon growing crops. 

 In England and many parts of France 

 and Germany there have been no ef- 

 fective rains for over three months, 

 and in places where stock could not be 

 artificially watered the growing crops 

 are shriveling up. The following items 

 are hard hit: 



"Manetti stocks come principally 

 from England and France. In both 

 countries there will be less than half a 

 crop. The grade of those shipped will 

 necessarily be inferior. Practically all 

 of the available crop was bought up be- 

 fore June. It is doubtful if American 

 buyers will get more than sixty per cent
