The proposed company at West Point
has been formed within the past two

When Bill Comes In.

Cutworms and potato bugs. those

not be the only files in the ointment
OF the Richmond citizen who attempts
10 reduce living expenses this spring
by growing n back yard garden. In
company with practically all other ar
ticles of commerce. vegetable seeds
have sought higher levels. The price
has advanced over a year ago by from
% 10 zoo per cent.
Cabbage and radish seed are only
slightly higher than before. Melon
seed have advanced about % per cent:
peas. beans and corn. 90 per cent;
beets. 100 per cent: potatoes. 200 per
cent. Ahead of all others is the
spinach. which seed once sold for 20
cents 4 pound. but now commands I5
cents a pound.
TO the backyard farmer. tho one
comforting feature OF the outlook will
be the fact that there is room on his
land for only a small quantity of the
precious seed. For 81 he can still buy
enough cabbage. beet. lettuce. pea.
bean, tomato and even spinach seed TO
raise vegetables in plenty for a long
table.
Seeds are high because they have
been almost entirely imported from
Europe In the past, il Is said. and that
source Of supply is now cut off. Nccc-
table seeds grow Just as we'll in Amer
lea as abroad, of course. but it has
proved cheaper. heretofore. to depend
upon the foreign market. The seeds
produced at home have been Guilt

supply is limited.

continued Mr.. Diggs. The Florida po-

time, two big fires in warehouses in
Maine destroyed $4,000 barrels OF nnta-
toes and caused a panic in the market.
