The announcement if his death was a slock and surprise to hundreds of friends in Americus, in view of the rather favorable report of bis condi tion as given out. The brave engineer was fully cons cious until the last hour and conversed with those about him.

C„ August 5.—There in profit in raising high grade seed Seed crops of sweet corn, garden peas and beans of good quality are in ever- increasing demand, and the quantity needed yearly has become so large that the seedsman is obliged to have the major portion of his stock grown for him by others. Within the past few years there has been an enormous increase in the quantity of seeds pro duced for commercial purposes. This has been due in- large measure to the development of seed growing and handling as a business. There are now nearly 1,000 seed firms doing bus iness In the United States. One of the largest of these uses buildings with an aggregate $oor space of IS acres. Thi sspace is much larger than wag occupied by the entire seed trade of the country only 50 years ago. The quality has also vastly Improved re cently. Any farmer wbo contemplates under taking seed crop farming will do well to consider thoroughly the many ele ments which enter into profits. Seeds men are often able to place contracts for growing seed at very low prices— even lower than that at which grain of the species can be sold on tie market. Such a condition might be due to any of several causes, but usually rests on an over-supply, or a demand for an Inferior product. The gsndral tenden cy now, however, is decidedly in the other direction, and both seed dealers and seed growers can do much by co operation to further thi3 tendency.
