Thirtieth annual conrention, Chicago, June 25 

 to 27, 1012. 



EooERS Bros.. Alpena, Mich., say they 

 have had to contend with a great deal 

 of rain during May. 



Charles Dickinson, of the Albert 

 Dickinson Co., Chicago, is a patron of 

 aeronautics, and made a flight with Max 

 Lillie during the birdmen's meet at Chi- 

 cago June 1. 



The Albert Dickinson Co., Chicago, 

 and the Chicago Dock Co., an allied cor- 

 poration, have closed a big real estate 

 purchase in the southwest part of Chi- 

 cago. Announcement has been made that 

 they will proceed with the construction 

 of a warehouse, the cost of which is ex- 

 pected to approximate $500,000. For the 

 land, which comprises a tract of about 

 fifty acres, on the south side of the 

 drainage canal and the Panhandle tracks, 

 they paid in excess of $200,000. It is 

 bounded by the Panhandle tracks on the 

 east, California avenue on the west, the 

 Santa Fe and the Illinois Central tracks 

 on the north and west, and Thirty-fifth 

 street on the south. 



IN THE IDAHO PEA DISTRICT. 



In the new pea growing district in 

 Idaho, for which St. Anthony is the 

 headquarters, the weather in the first 

 part of the season was not as early 

 as the growers would have liked to 

 have it. However, the fanners hired 

 teams and men from up the country 

 and got their plowing off their hands 

 quickly, so that they got to seeding 

 only a little late. The peas were about 

 all planted by May 25; there are only a 

 few farmers who are not through seed- 

 ing. The early seeding is up and shows 

 a good stand in almost all the fields. 



The weather for the last two weeks 

 has been favorable to the pea crop. 

 There has been just enough rain to 

 keep the land in good growing condi- 

 tion; in fact, the rainfall all spring has 

 been enough to maintain the moisture 

 and yet at no time has there been so 

 much rain that the land could not 

 be worked soon after the weather 

 cleared up. 



There is in the neighborhood of 

 15,000 acres of peas in the section of 

 Idaho to which this letter refers. 



E. M. Parmlee, W. B. Lucas and Mr. 

 Hopkins, of the John H. Allan Seed 

 Co., whose headquarters are at She- 

 boygan, Wis., were at St. Anthony four 

 days prior to May 25 and purchased 

 land on which they expect to put a 

 warehouse in which to handle their 

 crop. 



Mr. Nimmo, of the Everett B. Clark 

 Seed Co., is at St. Anthony to spend 

 the summer looking after the interests 

 of his company. 



John T. Wilcox reports his peas are 

 all in the ground, that most of them 

 are up and that the stand is fine in all 

 his fields. He spends most of his time 

 watching the crops. 



Mr. Adams and Mr. Davis, of the 

 Coulter-Adams Seed Co., Ogden, Utah, 

 were at St. Anthony about the middle 

 of May to make arrangements for a 

 warehouse in which to handle their
