No- body is saying much about it, but a lot of hard thinking is being done over the question of cost of books. The use of fine paper, big cuts and costly printing hM, in the view of many, quite possibly been overdone. Larger editions of less expensive books may be in order. The pickle packers, who have had rather short crops for several years, have not fared so badly this season as was at first thought likely. While many patches were lost because of excessive rainfall, quantities of stock came to the salting vats in late September, after the season usually is over. Yields run from 200 bushels per acre down to nothing. One man with 90,000 bushels in brine esti- mates the average yield as ninety to 100 bushels per acre. In Michigan the har- vest has been above the average. John C. Leonard, vice-president of the Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, has returned from a tour of the Michigan cucumber sections, and reports that of the best grade there is not more than half a crop. As a result of the shortage, cucumber seed will in all probability advance in price. The report is brought from Ken- tucky by A. H. Smith that the acreage of onion sets in that part of the country was unusually small. The yield, however, is quite good for the number of pounds planted. The total output, though, is so small that it will cut no figure with the Chicago market. The board of directors of the Whole- sale See
