former president has been brought back 

 to the chair: Albert McCullough was 

 elected president at Saratoga in 1890 

 and again at Chicago in 1900. 



The location of the next convention 

 rests with the executive committee and 

 will be decided at the annual meeting 

 of that body in January, 1913. There 

 were nearly a dozen invitations, mostly 

 from convention-getting bodies. 



As President-elect Page relieved 

 President L. H. Vaughan the outgoing 

 official was presented with a splendid 

 mahogany clock with a suitable inscrip- 

 tion, as an evidence of the high regard 

 in which he is held by the members and 

 as a memento of his presidency. 



Fifteen new members elected at one 

 convention sets a new record for recent 

 years. Thirteen whose names were 

 given in The Review last week were 

 voted in the first day, and later W. E. 

 Marshall & Co., of New York, and O. S. 

 Jones Seed Co., of Sioux Falls, were 

 elected. 



The paper of Lester L. Morse, on the 

 subject of costs of doing business in the 

 seed trade, brought out the liveliest dis- 

 cussion of the meeting. While a good 

 many had something to say, it was 

 noticed that individuals showed an in- 

 clination to go into executive session on 

 the actual facts — those who know what 

 it is costing them to grow a bushel of 

 peas, for instance, or to sell a bushel of 

 peas, do not manifest any great haste to 

 tell anybody else. The overhead ex- 

 penses are important and interesting, 

 but better to listen to than to talk 

 about, according to the actions of some 

 of those who were asked for their ex- 

 periences. 



Albert McCullough says that if they 

 don 't stop putting so much work on him 

 he is going to absent himself some fine 

 year. But, really, he likes it, you know. 



Two exhibits not in place when last 

 week 's report was written were those of 

 the Minneapolis Seed Co., Minneapolis, 

 and L. Daehnfeldt, Odense, Denmark, 

 the latter in charge of Wm. Eehm.

[A paper by L. S. Gould, of Waterloo, Neb., 

 read before the American Seed Trade Associa- 

 tion at Chicago, June 26, 1012.] 



In watching the processes and strug- 

 gles of vegetable life, it occurred to 

 man that he might be of assistance to 

 nature, and along the same lines and 

 toward the same ends that nature had 

 chosen to improve its product and per- 

 petuate the species. This led to more 

 careful selection of seed, and seed se- 

 lection from preferred types; types that 

 were more virile or better fitted to
