Thirtieth annual convention, Chicago, June 25 

 to 27, 1012. 



Rain at Chicago every day for the last 

 ten days, some of it torrential, has not 

 helped the growers of onion sets. 



Speaking of the weather, as every- 

 body has been doing more or less pro- 

 fanely, Jt fhould help a little to reflect 

 that Paris is sweltering under the hot- 

 test May in its history. 



Counter trade is holding up splen- 

 didly and, for that matter, mail orders 

 have not fallen away the way they 

 usually do in the latter part of May, be- 

 cause of the delayed arrival of warm 

 weather. 



Among recent visitors to the Cali- 

 fornia"'seed growing districts were E. 

 W. Wright, of the Lake Shore Seed Co., 

 Dunkirk, N.'Y., and L. R. Shumway and 

 wife, of flo(3kford, 111. In company with 

 J. W. lidnliftidson and E. O. Pieper, of 

 the Braslan Seed Growers' Co., they 

 motored from San Jose to Santa Cruz, 

 May 13,,:(. 



CONDITIONS IN CAUFOENIA. 



"^ [Night Letter Telegram.] 

 Santa" Cruz, Cal., May 21, 1912.— 

 The seed growing district had heavy 

 showers May 20 and 21. In the San 

 Juan valley^^e rainfall amounted to 

 forty-one-h%indredths of an inch, bring- 

 ing this season 's total to ten and one- 

 half inches, the annual average being 

 twelve inchee*- Dry winds had checked 

 growSBlto some extent, but conditions 

 are now favorable for an average crop. 

 In the Santa Clara valley the rainfall 

 was abant a quarter of an inch. It 

 will help late planted crops, but may 

 do more harm than good to lettuce and 

 onions by creating conditions favorable 

 to rot and rust. 



BOSTON SEEDSMEN PROTEST. 



Bostoji seedsmen protested, May 12, 

 befotfc' the legislative committee on 

 mercas^e a^irs against the act passed 

 this y^f to establish the bushel weight 

 of peasj Ibeans, clover seed, onions, etc., 

 and a^ff -io amend the new section 21 

 of chapter 57, Revised Laws, enacted 

 this year to require fruits, vegetables 

 and nuts to be sold at retail by dry 

 measure, weight or numerical count. 

 What they desire is an amendment to 

 "except seeds sold solely for seeding 

 or ptoiitj^g pjifposes," 



Attorney Curtis Nye Smith, as their 

 counsel, -stated that the effect of the 

 two acts afl^they stand would be to in- 

 flict immeasurable loss on the seedsman 

 and . JWHiId practically drive him out 

 of btfsljfess. There are millions of car- 

 tons of se6^8. such as he showed the 

 comm^i^^W'fevery small grocery store,
