Staying there this winter. He expects to 

 return to Des Moines about January li\ 



Albert McCullough, of Cincinnati, is 

 making a California trip, accompanied by 

 his daughter. 



The forthcoming catalogues, it is 

 thought, will not show prices advanced 

 in anything like the increased cost of 

 seeds, and of commercial living. 



The Western Canners' Association, at 

 its meeting at Chicago, voted down the 

 proposition to disband. M. W. Jones, 

 Vinton, la., was elected president, and 

 F. F, Wiley, Edinburg, Ind., secretary. 



According to Uncle Sam's agrostolo- 

 gist, "hairy vetch is perhaps the best 

 legume to use where red elover fails, and 

 this is especially true in sandy soils. In 

 the northern states it can be used to seed 

 in corn at the last cultivation and will 

 furnish a subsequent crop for green 

 manure or hay. The high price of the 

 seed of hairy vetch is the principal rea- 

 son why it is not grown extensively, but 

 farmers can easily grow their own seed 

 by devoting a special field to this pur- 

 pose. Hairy vetch, with seed at a rea- 

 sonable price, is the best winter legume 

 for all localities in the eastern half of 

 the United States where red clover fails 

 or where crimson clover is not a success. 

 Common vetch does not withstand great 

 summer heat and should not be planted 

 in the spring in the eastern United 

 States. It does succeed in the northern- 

 most states when spring sown, but is 

 usually not as desirable as Canada field 

 peas." 



THE FREE SEEDS. 



The Secretary of Agriculture, who is 

 a famous optimist, is pleased with the 

 congressional free seeds distribution as 

 it is handled by his department. In his 

 annual report, issued this week, he 

 says: 



"It is gratifying to review the prog- 

 ress made in the securing and distribu- 

 tion of seeds by the department. By a
