CAUFORNIA CONDITIONS. 



[Night letter telegram.] 

 Santa Cruz, Cal., April 2, 1912.— Crop 

 conditions continue faverable in the 

 seed growing districts. The season's 

 rainfall in the San Joaquin valley has 

 now reached seven and eight-tenths 

 inches and this, with the ordinary 

 spring showers, will be sufficient to as- 

 sure good crops. Several growers re- 

 port considerable damage to lettuce by 

 the cutworm. 



BUCKBEE HAS HIS WAY. 



There are a good many ways of 

 beating the devil around the bush, but 

 it has remained for H. W. Buckbee 

 to devise a way of meeting a draft at- 

 tached to a bill of lading and still hold 

 back the money. This is how. It is 

 from a Rockford paper of March 27: 



"H. W. Buckbee, through his attor- 

 ney, Bruce H. Garrett, yesterday in- 

 stituted an attachment suit against 

 T. S. Rice, of Waterloo, Neb. A levy 

 was made on $1,700 in a local bank to 

 the credit of the defendant. 



' ' Although only the praecipe was 

 filed, the action was started to safe- 

 guard the defendant against possiljle 

 loss on a carload d^^seed corn pur- 

 chased from the westerner. Mr. Buck- 

 bee desires to test the germinatiu;^ 

 quality of the seed before handing 

 over the $1,70.0, but to this procee'l- 

 ing the Nebraska man would not listeii. 

 As the car had been shipped on a bill 

 of lading and draft, the consignee paid 

 the draft, secured the bill of lading 

 and then attached the money. In the 

 meantime the corn will be tested and if 

 it is up to expectations, the proceeding 

 will be dismissed and the money re- 

 leased." 



SEED STORE PUBLICITY. 



With so skilled a literator on its 

 staff as is Maurice Fuld, it is in the 

 natural order of things that the Henry 

 F. Michell Co., Philadelphia, should re- 

 cently have issued a number of excej>- 

 tionally attractive pieces of literature. 

 The Michell Co. first attracted attention 

 to its campaign of publicity by institut- 

 ing a series of public horticultural le<- 

 tures, held weekly in its store. The 

 innovation was widely commented on 

 and has proved extremely strecessful. 

 Supplementing the course of lectures, a 

 number of pamphlets have been issued. 

 These contain nothing of an advertis- 

 ing nature except the statement that 

 they are issued by the firm. Those 

 who read and are interested are referred 

 to the firm 's catalogue for further in- 

 formation and prices.
