the J. C. Robinson Seed Co., of Water- 

 loo, Neb., has written to Secretary Mon- 

 roe, of the Chamber of Commerce, ask- 

 ing his assistance in getting in touch 

 with farmers in this valley who will 

 raise seed. The company wishes to se- 

 cure pea, watermelon, cucumber, pump- 

 kin, Hubbard squash, onion and other 

 seeds, and states that any farmer who 

 will send his name and address and acre- 

 age will receive a blank contract for 

 raising seed at a fair price. 



"Montana alfalfa seed has gained a 

 wide reputation not only in the United 

 States but practically all over the world, 

 being used as a standard by many of 

 the leading seed dealers in this country, 

 and it has been demonstrated that many 

 other kinds of seeds can be raised in 

 this state with equal success and of as 

 high quality." 



CONDITIONS IN CALIFORNIA. 



In last week's issue of The Review 

 general rains were reported over the 

 California seed growing districts, ac- 

 cording to telegrams received March 6. 

 Conditions therefore are not what they 

 were when the following letters were 

 written: 



San Jose, Cal., March 4. — With re- 

 gard to weather conditions in California, 

 to begin with, we have had only a frac- 

 tion over four inches of rain in the 

 Santa Clara valley. This is far below 

 a normal fall. Still, the seed ranches 

 through this section are looking remark- 

 ably well, owing to the fact that the 

 ground is in a high state of cultivation. 

 The district about San Juan and Hol- 

 lister seems to have suffered more from 

 the drought than this particular section. 

 Unless rain falls in that locality in the 

 near future, crops will be below aver- 

 age. Conditions at this writing are fa- 

 vorable for rain. — Braslan Seed Grow- 

 ers' Co. 



Gilroy, Cal., March 5. — Concerning 

 the conditions of 1912 crop, will say 

 that so far this winter we have only 

 received about thirty per cent of our 

 normal rainfall to date, and about 

 twenty-five per cent of the rainfall we 

 had to date last year. The crop has 

 been at a standstill for several months, 

 as there has been no moisture in the 

 ground, and the weather has been cold 

 and frosty. I have had my ranches 

 looking much better in early January
