THE DISTRIBUTION OF SEED.

thfS bAof OF SEED,
Perhaps nothing in federal administra-
tion has been more OF farce than tho
great American sect distribution.
Seeds arc not costly. You can buy
handful OF seeds OF one kind and another
for few pennies. And yet the United
States Government has expcn led about
two million and half in the purchase
Of seeds under the great American seed
diftrbuiion plan. Every year seeds have
been distributed lsvishly among he far
me's. The allotment OF seeds for his con-
stituents has heen deemed one OF the
choice things OF CoBgrsssman's career.
Since 1865 the Government has bought
seeds, divided them among the Congress
men and the latter have used them as
souvenirs OF the kindly regard in which
their agricultural constituency Is held.

tion and distribution of trees,

he confined to such as are adapted to gen.
eral cultivation ana TO promote the gen.
eral interest OF agriculture and horticult-
ure throug hout the United States"
As Secretary MORTON pointed out at
lcaring before joint committee OF Con-
gress the other day, each year added to
the difficulty OF finding genainely new
and useful seeds rare and "uncommon to
the country" adapted to generalcultiya-
tion ana TO "promote the general interest
OF agriculture and horticulture through
out the United States rhe pressure 10
supply Congressman has led to the pur-
chase fseed on very imperfect evidence as
| TO novelty and value, the vast majority OF
so-caled new seeds and plants offered by
seedsmen and horticulturists being
merely old varieties under new names.
Hence the distribution has bsen kept up
during the past three years with great
difficulty and doubt as to its legality, and
every seed found anywhere Offering rea-
sonable prospects OF usefulness in any
part OF the country was purchased and
literally distributed.
The search for strange, rare and curious
seeds, to conform to the law, has been un-
remit,ing and ut last was Systematically
undertaken. The world was secured for,
seeds that nobody had ever heard OF or
used and 80 that would conform to the
law. But of the total distribution of 27,-
900, 900 packages of seeds in the past three
years 1t is not believed that single one
of all these billions OF individual seeds
was really a novelty. Finally bids were
called for for supplying new and unique
seeds and the result seemed TO demon
strate how impossible it was TO find any
thing new under the sun in seed. Not
single one OF the bidders was able to
conform to the requirements of the statute
and as specimen OF what was claimed
to be new were 100 pounds of teonste, a
sub-topical American grass, the seed OF
which had been distributed by the de-
| partment as far back as 1856.
We have probably seen the last of this
ridiculous free seed business. The sgri-
cultural press, the oranges and other
farmers organ izations as rule condemn
the distribution or laugh at 1t. And 1t is
stpted that careful review of the reports
OF the chiefs of the seed division during
tho past decade, in which over u, 100, 900
was expended for free seed distribution,
fails to reveal a single instance OF benefit
to agriculture attributable to this distri-
button.
