ysts, and on Postal Laws, and it is pre- 

 sumed that it was because of the radi- 

 cal views on these subjects held by 

 some of the seedsmen that the sessions 

 were made executive. 



The Essays. 



"You will note from the program/' 

 said Secretary Kendel, "that the es^ 

 says are less numerous than usual. 

 This is to give additional time for 

 threshing over the problems that are 

 engrossing the attention of the trade. 

 None of the essays was reached at the 

 first day's session." Those on the pro- 

 gram are: 



"Seed Corn Breeding," by L. S. Gould, Water- 

 loo, Neb. 



"Costa and Ck>st Systems in tbe Seed Busi- 

 ness," by Lester L. Morse, San Francisco; dis- 

 cussion led by Kirby B. White, Detroit, Mich. 



"Opportunities for a Young Man in the Seed 

 Business," by Arthur B. Clark, Mllford, Conn. 



"Recent Decisions on the Seed Trade Dis- 

 claimer," by Curtis Nye Smith, counsel of the 

 association, Boston, Mass. 



At the convention in 1910 President 

 Eobinson made a hit by calling on mem- 

 bers present for crop reports and last 

 year the feature was elaborated by se- 

 curing telegraphic reports from the 

 principal growing sections, to be read 

 to the convention. "This has proved 

 to be one of the best things on the pro- 

 gram, " said Secretary Kendel, "and 

 this year we are giving it more time 

 than we did at the twenty-ninth con- 

 vention. 



"It is expected to elect new officers 

 and wind up the business of the meet- 

 ing at the session Thursday morning." 



Entertainment Features. 



The Chicago seedsmen took the vis- 

 itors for an automobile ride around the 

 city Wednesday afternoon and the an- 

 nual banquet was held at the Sherman 

 House in the evening of that day, ten- 

 dered by the local members. Thurs- 

 day afternoon, after the business is con- 

 cluded, the visitors are to be enter- 

 tained at Vaughan's Greenhouses, at 

 Western Springs. 



Trade Exhibits. 



There are a number of trade exhibits 

 in the rooms on the floor with the meet- 

 ing hall, as follows: 



The Walker Bin Co., Pen Yan, N. Y., 

 has a model seed store at the end of the 

 hall, with E. J. Walker, Jr., in charge, 

 assisted by F. W. Clarke, the local rep- 

 resentative. Counters with glass- 

 fronted seed bins beneath are shown, 

 and wall cases for bulk seeds. The 

 seeds and bulbs are in the cases to show 

 how the store will look from the cus- 

 tomer's point of view. 



The Brown Bag Filling Machine Co., 

 Fitchburg, Mass., has one of its packet- 

 ing machines and also a display of the 

 seed envelopes that it manufactures. 

 The envelopes are of special interest 

 because of the troubles the trade has 

 had with the post-office over non-trans- 

 parent packets; the Brown packets have 

 been passed by the department. B. F. 

 Brown is in charge. 



The McFarland Publicity Service, 

 Harrisburg, Pa., has a table of printed 

 matter in the hall and a larger show- 

 ing in an adjoining room. The cata- 

 logues of a number of well known seed 

 houses prepared by this concern are 

 shown. Both Jefferson Thomas and 

 O. P. Beckley are present. 



The Seed Trade Reporting Bureau, 

 Chicago, shows a table of its literature, 

 L. M. Smith in charge. 



The Torsion Balance Co. shows seed 

 and grain testing scales.

NEW YORK SEED LAW. 



Eef erring to Assemblyman Wilson's 

 New York state pure seed bill, known 

 as chapter 297 of the laws of 1912, 

 which takes effect July 1, 1912, I ap- 

 pend herewith a copy of the penalties 

 applying to this law, extracted from 

 Department of Agriculture Bulletin No. 

 27, section 52, page 996: 



Sec. 52 — Penalties. Every person violating any 

 of the provisions of this chapter shall forfeit to 

 the people of the state of New York the sum of 

 not less than $50 nor more than $100 for the 

 first violation, and not less than $100 nor more 

 than $200 for the second and each subsequent 

 violation. When such violation consists of the 

 manufacture or production of any prohibited 

 article, each day during which or any part of 

 which such manufacture or production is carried 

 on or continued shall be deemed a separate vio- 

 lation. When the violation consists of the sale, 

 or the offering or exposing for sale or exchange 

 of any prohibited article or substance, the sale of 

 each one of several packages shall constitute a 

 separate violation, and each day on which any 

 such article or substance is offered or exposed 

 for sale or exchange shall constitute a separate 

 violation. When the use of any such article or 

 substance is prohibited, each day during which 

 or any part of which said article or substance 

 is so used or furnished for use, shall constitute 

 a separate violation, and the famishing of the

same for use to each person to whom the same 

 may be furnished shall constitute a separate vio- 

 lation. Whoever by himself or another violates 

 any of the provisions of articles three, four, six, 

 eight and nine, or sections 314 and 315 of this 

 chapter, or of sections 106, 107 and 108 of this 

 chapter, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and 

 upon conviction shall he punished by a fine of 

 not less than $50 nor more than $200, or by im- 

 prisonment of not less than one month nor more- 

 than six months, or by both such fine and Im- 

 prisonment, for the first offense, and by six 

 months' Imprisonment for the second offense.
