In view of the many shortages in the 

 1912 crops it is rather surprising to note 

 the emphasis the trade now puts on the 

 lower values as affecting total sales this 

 season compared with 1912. 



The L. L. Olds Seed Co., of Madison, 

 Wis., has secured a permit to build a 

 four-story warehouse at 720 Williamson 

 street, at a cost of $45,000. This is in 

 accordance with the plan which the com- 

 pany had in mind about a year ago, 

 when the site was purchased. The 

 wround has a frontage of ninety-nine 

 feet. 



Quits a few mail-order seedsmen find 

 themselves with an accumulation of 1- 

 cent and 2-cent stamps on hand, which 

 they can not use until time for mailing 

 the 1914 catalogues, and then it will 

 mean extra work. The stamps could not 

 be used as received, as in other years, 

 because parcel post stamps were required 

 on outgoing mail. 



PEAS IN MONTANA. 



The seed pea planting in Gallatin val- 

 ley was finished in much better season 

 than last year; the seed bed was better 

 prepared than heretofore and a better 

 selection of land made. Most of the 

 seeding was done during the first part 

 of May and practically all before June 

 1. Land was in good shape to work 

 the latter part of April and all of May, 

 except the week ending May 22, during 

 which there were several good rains. 



There are about 10,000 acres planted, 

 largely with the earlier varieties, be- 

 cause much of the soil, being rich, pro- 

 duces too rank a growth of vine for the 

 late, long vine sorts. So far there has 

 been much good growing weather and 

 earlier plantings are making a rapid 

 growth of vine. With the early start, 

 crops should be harvested early and in- 

 sure a good sample. The weather has 

 been quite favorable for germination 

 and stands are good, although not so 

 good as last year. 



The outlook is for a dry season and 

 crops are in need of rain now, although 

 without rain they will not be greatly 

 injured for a week or ten days unless 

 it continues hot. Little acreage will be 

 far enough advanced for irrigation in 

 less than twenty days, after which time 

 a fairly reliable estimate can be made, 

 as much depends upon the weather im- 

 mediately following irrigation.

AS OLABK SEES SITUATION. 



It is quite early to give anything 

 of material value in the way of crop 

 news for the western and middle sec- 

 tions. Beans are only just going into 

 the ground im Michigan. Peas are, in 

 the principal growing sections of Wis- 

 consin and Michigan, only just well 

 started. "While in some sections there 

 are unfavorable conditions, I would say 

 that peas, as a general rule, have a fair 

 average start," says Arthur B. Clark, 

 president of the Everett B. Clark Seed 

 Co., *'but the trade realizes full well 

 that during all the short crop years peas
