Iron cowpea, a variety said to be resistant to root-knot and wilt, is exploited by the Department of Agri- culture. Washington, D. C.—Contracts were let last week for the new Department of Agriculture building. The appropriation for same is $1,500,000. Painesville, O.—The crop of local grown onion seed here is a good one, the acreage being larger than usual. Yellow and red globe are grown here. The Minnesota Field Seed Growers' association has been formed with the following ofScers: President, C. C. Thompson, Farmington; secretary, W. M. Hayes; treasurer, E. L. Jenks. MiLFORD, Conn.—Corn prospects are still unfavorable. We must have a warm September and freedom from frosts to secure a fair crop. The acreage planted is unusual. Parties who have visited Louisville say the onion set crop is about one-half of a normal one in number of bushels and about one-third of last year's big crop. Chillicothe about the same. Smut is found in the whites at both places. CiNCiNNATL — Fire injured the retail department of J. Charles McCullough to the amount of about $20,000 by smoke and water, but fortunately their main stocks are carried at their wholesale ware- house which was in no way affected, and business will go on uninterrupted.
