as 18 degrees and it appears that, while 

 the bulbs have, in a large measure, re- 

 covered in the warm weather which fol- 

 lowed, irreparable injury was done to 

 cabbage, cauliflower, mangel and turr 

 nip for seed crops. Peas, beans and 

 radish were in many cases destroyed and 

 were replanted. It is said that not in 

 sixty years has Holland had such cold 

 weather in April. 



BIG FEA CROP NEEDED. 



The time for planting peas in north- 

 ern Michigan is close at hand, but the 

 prospect for a profitable crop is not es- 

 pecially bright; the return of normal 

 conditions is not in early prospect. Al- 

 fred J. Brown, at Grand Rapids, had 

 this to say, April 29, of the situation 

 as it then appeared: 



"We will soon be planting peas in 

 northern Michigan, and as to the acre- 

 age will say that it will be much less 

 than usual. This is on account of the 

 farmers being indisposed to plant peas, 

 even at the advanced prices pea grow- 

 ers are offering them. We understand 

 the same conditions exist in other pea 

 growing localities. What we need is a 

 big world 's crop in order to bring back 

 normal conditions. Should we have an- 

 other bad year it would be absolutely 

 impossible to supply the demand. 



"So far we have experienced no 

 trouble in securing contracts with 

 farmers for growing beans, although we 

 have been obliged to pay pretty stiff 

 prices. ' ' 



ONION SETS. 



The 1910 crop of onion sets all found 

 some sort of an outlet, and interest 

 now centers in the new crop. At Louis- 

 ville the seed has all been in the 

 ground for some time, but at Chicago 

 planting still is in progress — whenever 

 the condition of the fields will permit; 

 rainy weather has held back the work. 



At Louisville, April 29, H. R. White- 

 side said: 



"The onion set season is over with 

 us; we sold out the last onion sets we 

 had April 1. There have been no sets 

 to offer here for two or three weeks. 

 The coming crop is planted, and I think 

 the acreage is perhaps a little less than 

 it was last year. The weather condi- 

 tions since the crop was planted have 

 been all that could be desired and, so 

 far as the season has gone, it looks 

 good, but it is too early to tell much 

 about it yet. ' ' 



"It is too early to outline the pros- 

 pects for the coming year on onion sets 

 at Chicago," said J. J. Budlong, of the 

 L. A. Budlong Co., April 29. "Seed is 

 not all planted yet, but the general im- 

 pression seems to be that there will 

 not be as larg^ a crop as last year. The
