Counter trade will come with a rush 

 when it does come.

 ager of export trade for L. Daehnfeldt,

John S. Weaver, of the Glen Mawr 

 Seed Farms, Kinzers, Pa., is planning 

 to attend the Fourth International 

 Gentic Conference, to be held at Paris, 

 September 18 to 23. 



The southern part of France expe- 

 rienced, April 5 and 6, the coldest 

 weather of the winter. Reports imply 

 much damage to crops for the export seed 

 and bulb trade, but it almost always is 

 that these first tales of disaster are much 

 exaggerated. 



E. D. Egberts, the seed corn man 

 from Bed Oak, Iowa, who escaped prose- 

 cution in the courts of Benton county 

 last fall on a technicality, has been in- 

 dicted by the federal grand jury at Coun- 

 cil Bluffs on a charge of using the mails 

 to defraud. 



Mail order seed trade has held up bet- 

 ter than it usually does after the peak of 

 the season is passed. Weather conditions 

 have changed little since the early part 

 of March; in fact, many sections of the 

 country had colder weather in the first 

 week of April than they experienced in 

 the first part of March. 



The crop improvement committee of 

 the Council of North American Grain 

 Exchanges is waging an active campaign 

 for the use of better-bred seed by grain 

 growers. A booklet of 1.32 pages has 

 just been issued, containing much that 

 will interest seed dealers. Copies may 

 be had by addressing Bert Ball, secretary. 

 Board of Trade building, Chicago. 



NEW YORK SEED IJ\.W AGAIN. 



The seed trade in the state of New 

 York is again called upon to rally 

 around the flag of rational seed legisla- 

 tion. Assemblyman Gregg introduced a 

 bill known as No. 834 in the state legis- 

 lature March 3, which demands the 

 united opposition of the trade. The bill 

 has been read once and referred to the 

 committee on agriculture. Marshall H. 

 Ihiryea, who is the New York state cor- 

 respondent of the American Seed Trade 

 Association, is arranging to have a 

 hearing on the bill, to take place some- 

 time after April 17, to which date the 

 legislature, has adjourned owing to the 

 recent fire in the state capitol. The 

 trade will be informed through this col-

umn as soon as the date for the hearing 

 is fixed. 



In commenting on the matter Mr. 

 Duryea says: "You will note in read- 

 ing this bill that it is of the utmost im- 

 portance, not only to the seedsmen of 

 the state of New York, but to the seeds- 

 men in other parts of the country as 

 well. Unfortunately, the matter has 

 come up at a very inopportune time of 

 the year, but I hope as many New York 

 seedsmen as possible will be present 

 when the hearing on the bill comes 

 up." 



The proposed law is as follows: 



AN ACT 



To amend the agricultural law. In relation to 

 tbe inspection and sale of seeds. 



The people of the State of New York, repre- 

 sented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as
