ing of future prices ought tp be de- 

 layed take into considerationjiilie-laitua- 

 tion on pea seed, which by general con- 

 sent is going to be an exceedingly scarce 

 article for the coming c;rop and sell at 

 an exceptionally high price per bushel. 

 The few western canners who have 

 booked orders for future peas have done 

 80 at higher prices than last year." 



PEAS AND BEANS. 



The latest information regarding the 

 pea crop gives no room for any im- 

 provement on conditions previously re- 

 ported. The shortage, we think, is fully 

 as great as, if not greater than, last 

 year. The bean situation is, however, 

 considerably less encouraging during the 

 last two or three weeks. We have had 

 a good deal of hot weather, with insuf- 

 ficient moisture, and as a consequence 

 we do not look for more than sixty to 

 seventy-five per cent of a crop. — S. M. 

 Isbell & Co., Jackson, Mich., September 

 26, 1911. 



It is difficult to say much about pea 

 and bean crops until threshing is fur- 

 ther along. As far as our field esti- 

 mates go, they would indicate that 

 beans would be about two-thirds of a 

 crop, perhaps more and perhaps less. As 

 regards peas, we find some are thresh- 

 ing out better than we expected, but 

 at the best the crop will be short. How 

 short we cannot tell until we have Com- 

 pleted threshing and taken deliveries 

 from farmers. — Alfred J. Brown Seed 

 Co., Grand Eapids, Mich., September 

 23, 1911.

DUTY ON PANDANUS SEEDS. 



The duty on panda nus seeds is 10 

 cents per pound, according to a deci- 

 sion of the Board of General Apprais- 

 ers announced September 21. T^e de- 

 cision followed the importation, con- 

 signed to Maltus & Ware, of merchaa-; 

 dise invoiced as Pandanus utilis seeds, 

 which the collector at New York classi- 

 ied under paragraph 266, tariff act of 

 1909, as seeds not specially provided 

 for, and was claimed to be free of duty 

 as palm nuts or palm:ni^ kernels .under 

 paragraph 635. ..~ z 



In his opinion sustain^a^; the collector 

 General Appraiser Waitfi aaid; ' ' The evi- 

 dence seems to disclose that this com- 

 modity has been known for some time 

 in 'the commercial world as palm seeds. 

 It appears to be the seed^ q£ n, species 

 of pine, sometimes called the 'screw 

 pine,' and is in no sense thd product 

 of the palm tree. Just what is in- 

 tended to be covered by the term 'palm 

 nut' in the statute we are unable to 

 determine, and j^here hM be^ n^|testi- 

 mony or evidence to enlighten us upon 

 that point. The rec.9^d..^e8 not dis- 

 close tbat the term 'palm nut' is used 

 in the commercial world. We have
