ant f,scal vesr The Ht2O nm csyria,
by last years bill for the purchss,
and distribution of valuable seeds

the sentiment Of the committee ap
parently being in favor of the con
tinuation of the practice that pre-
vailed for SO many years, although

mend that 1t be set aside as q nucleu
Of . fund for the erection of q ney
building for the department Of agri
culture in Washington.
