He Asked for Too Much, and Will Get
More Tn N He Wanted.
In 1859 John H. Rogers of Illinois, was ap
pointed Indian agent for Utah and eastern Ne
braska. When his accounts were audited at the
end of his term, it was found that $l4,0a0hsd
been expended by him for which no satisf Glory
vouchers could be produced. He explained
that, in the winter of 1923, the Indians had
been so restless that he had felt constrained to
buy large quantities of presents for them from
local traders. Upon these representations,
$4,000 of the $4,000 was allowed. Recently
Rogers was soimprudent as to apply for the re-
naming $4,000. The Indian office sent a Nan
to the old agency, who quietly investigated the
matter. He found the men whose names were
given in the vouchers. but learned that they
were never post traders, or traders ofany other
sort, but always he dsmen and teamsicrs at the
agency. Not only does Rogers lose the $4,000
which he wante but he will also probably be
prosecuted to recover the $1,000 which he
originally Obtained On the fraudulent vouchers.

Last year the government distributed
1922, 73S packages of seeds, of which
2,912, $50 were given 10 Congressman,
The seed distribution is the most pop
ular of the perquisites of members of
Congress. 1t began in a small way, but
now 100000 are appropriated for the
purpose, and 100 women and fifty men
are employed by the department of agri-
culture in putting up the seeds, which
are of all sorts, from field and potatoes
to the rarest flowers. Peas, beans, corn
and potatoes are put up in quart sacks
and the flower seeds in tiny envelopes.
The list includes over fifty kinds, while
OF vegetables there are 1873 varieties and

In discussing the question of irriga-
ton in California, the San Francisco
papers sound the alarm that the system
is being overdone especially in grape
and fruit raising. Copious moisture in a
warm climate promotes rapid growth,
yetSt does not permit trees and plants
to mature. The wood is consequently
soft and sappy,' and the fruit watery and
insipid. This accounts, in part at least,
for the tlavoress fruits and vegetables
often shipped from California. The
forcing process may seem to insure tenn
porary profits, but may ultimately work
more harm than good in the fruit itself
