TO TAKE A PULL" AWAY.
Secretary Morton Would DO Away
With Seed Distribution.

Washington, July S.-Secretary Nor
tons latest notion Of reform Is to do
away with the distribution Of seeds
through members Of congress,
The appropriation for seed distribu-
ton this year Is 100000 two-thirds OF
which distribution is to be through
members Of congress TO their constitu-
ents and one third under the direction
and supervision &c the secretary of
agriculture. 1T has been one Of the
most popular features Of the agricultur-
al department, as by 1t the farmer has
been best able to secure directly the
benefits of the tests made by the ex.
perts.
But Mr.. Morton thinks that here
he has another chance to reform things
arguing that the sol distribution by
congressman IS nothing more than po
li6cal campaigning carried on at gov
eminent expense. A suggestion to dc
away with It will probably be one Of
the recommendations in his first report
to congress.
