The Bill just Completed Carries the Sum
of @2,45O,OO0-A Reduction.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-The House
Committee on Agriculture has completed
the agricultural appropriation bill for
the coming fiscal year. The bill will
carry an appropriation of about 81, $4,000,
being SliS,0O0 less than the appropriation
for the last current fiscal year. and about
S2l50O0 above the estimates submitted.
The increase over the estimates was
made principally in the appropriation for
the purchase and distribution of seeds
and the expenses Of the Bureau of Ami
nal Industry. The Secretary in his es-
Inmates asked for $4,000 for the seed
division and 100000 for the Bureau of
Animal Industry. The committee increas-
ed the appropriation for seed TO $4,000
and that Of the Bureau of Animal IN
dustry 10 $500, 600 The additional 100000
in the latter appropriation was made to
prevent the spread of tuberculosis among
cattle.
The present law regarding the purchase
and distribution of seeds was so as to con-
fine their purchase and distribution to
such seeds as are rare and uncommon to
the country, or such as can be made
more profitable by frequent changes from
one part of the country to another.
A new provision was also inserted in
this section authorizing the Secretary of
Agriculture TO expend $4,000 of this ap-
propriation for the publication of the
Farmers Bulletin. relating TO agricul-
tural matters generally. 1t was also stip-
ulatcd that "all seeds. plants and cut
tings allotted TO senators and represen-
tatiyes in Congress for distribution re-
naming uncalled for on the 1st of May
shall be distributed by the Secretary Of
Agriculture"
