Onion sets are acting even worse this 

 year than last. 



Counter trade is lackadaisical — sales 

 md sap go up at about the same time and 

 the weather thus far is too cold for a 

 real start. 



The Iowa bill giving to seedsmen the 

 right to sell insecticides, for many years 

 a monopoly with the pharmacists, has be- 

 come a law. 



In the list of the contributors to the 

 campaign fund of Charles E. Merriam, 

 who was not elected mayor of Chicago 

 April 4, appears the name of Charles 

 Dickinson with $1,100 set opposite. 



While the peak of the mail order seed 

 season is passed, there remains a large 

 volume of business to be done; the 

 weather has been unfavorable for weeks 

 over a large section of the country. 



A REPORT from Denver states that the 

 Barteldes Seed Co. has joined the ranks 

 of the corporations. The capital is 

 $300,000, and the incorporators are F. W. 

 Barteldes, Max Wilhelmi and Jeannet 

 Uhrlaub. 



The U. S. Department of Agriculture 

 March 27 issued a bulletin entitled ' ' The 

 Home Production of Onion Seed and 

 Sets," by W. K. Beattie, of the Bureau 

 of Plant Industry. It gives an account 

 of the methods employed in the trade for 

 the production of both seeds and sets. 



Taking the three months of the seed 

 season, January, February and March, 

 the record to date with most of the 

 mail order houses stands about on a par 

 with last year. There would be no cause 

 for complaint except that, of course, an 

 increase had been hoped for and many 

 seeds cost more this season, so that the 

 general margin of profit is not so good. 



The latter part of March brought the 

 catalog houses an excellent run of mail 

 orders, and the month as a whole made 

 a fair record, although the older houses 

 are not able to report anything out of 

 the ordinary in number or size of orders. 

 The many young concerns that are push- 

 ing into the trade in more or less local 

 territory are, most of them, making good 

 progress and have apparently absorbed 

 this season a considerable part of the 

 natural increase in the demand for seeds. 



THE NEW CHAIBMAN. 



With Congress again in session, the 

 democrats have control of the House 

 and Hon. James K. Mann, while rated 

 as one of the strongest men in that 

 branch of the government, loses a large 

 part of his power with the succession 

 of William C. Adamson, of Georgia, to 

 the chainnanship of the Committee on
