A BRIEF note on the death of Leopold 

 Landreth will be found in this week's 

 obituary column. 



The Central Kentucky Blue Grass Seed 

 Co.. of Lexington, is putting up a seed 

 cleaning plant, to cost $25,000. 



In short crop years prices do not ad- 

 vance as they should. The available sup- 

 ply is used in taking care of regular 

 customers for a part of their wants — 

 and in paving an approach to the other 

 fellow's friends. 



A COMMITTEE of the Chicago city coun- 

 cil has been investigating the plans for 

 the three new 7-story warehouses of the 

 Albert Dickinson Co., which do not con- 

 form to the city's building code, the lat- 

 ter not having been framed with seeds- 

 men's buildings in mind. 



As has been previously reported in 

 this column, the Holmes Seed Co., Harris- 

 burg, Pa., some time ago secured a new 

 location at 119 South Second street, 

 where it is expected to centralize the 

 business January 1 in a 4-8tory building. 

 Qood progress is now being made in fit- 

 ting it up. 



The eighth annual convention of the 

 Wisconsin Pea Packers' Association at- 

 tracted several hundred people, includ- 

 ing a number of seedsmen's representa- 

 tives, to Milwaukee this week. December 

 4, at a session open to members only, 

 J. A. Hagamann opened with a paper a 

 discussion on "Seed Peas." 



The presses are running on most of 

 the leading seed catalogues, for the big 

 mail-order houses have found that the 

 early business is an important factor in 

 determining the volume of the businees 

 for the season: only about so much can 

 be accomplished in the height of the rush, 

 so that it is the early and late orders 

 that really make a year good or bad. 



The seed advertising in general maga- 

 zines will be extremely light this season, 

 practically all the money going into the 

 farm and class papers. AJso, the dura- 

 tion will be shorter than usual this year, 

 some of the strongest copy getting but 

 one insertion in the monthlies — January. 

 What the trade is after is early action; 

 as soon as the season is on in earnest 

 everybody has all he can do and the 

 possibilities for increase are best in Jan- 

 uary and February. 



Owing to his rather poor health re- 

 cently, Chas. N. Page, Des Moines, la., 

 has gone to California, to be absent 

 about six weeks. He will visit the 

 seed growers in the Sacramento, Santa 

 Clara, Arroyo Grande and Ventura dis- 

 tricts, where they are now setting out 

 onions, beets, carrots and other roots for 

 seed production, ending his trip at San 

 Diego, where he will spend the holidays 

 with his wife and three children, who are
