THE FREE SEED BUSINESS

The efforts of Secretary Morton
to abolish the free distribution of
seed by the government were east
iy defeated by Congressman who
consider the seed that is given to
scatter among their constituents a
very valuable perquisite. The
growth of this business has been
rapid and has reached enormous
proportions.
Three hundred thousand pack
ages of seed was the government
supply thirty years ago when the
system was introduced. Last
year O. than l 1000, 900 packa-
ges yer sent out. They would
have filled thirty freight cars.
This year the government will go
a great deal further and will sup
ply no less than 20, 900, 900 pack
ages, or seventy-fve car loads of
seed.
At this rate of increase thegoy-
eminent will soon become the
greatest of all dealers in seed.
The free seed business will cost
800, 900 this year, and as the
cry every year is for more this
expense will probably be greatly
increased next year. In fact
the appropriation already made
for next years free seed is $15.-
900;
Each congressman will receive
this year 40, oeO packages of veg
etable seeds, 1900 of flower seeds
and $50 quarts of field seeds.
AT the rate the government is
now going in this business the
average citizen who wants to
plant anything will soon sit and
wait for the government to send
him all the seeds he wants.
The next thing we know some
body will propose that the gov
eminent supply the people free of
cost with chickens, ducks, hogs,
sheep and horses.
The free seed business has
passed the limit of common sense,
and is doing much to inculcate the
idea that it is the business of the
government to support the peo-
pie.

Unusual Family Record.

EDITOR ARGUS In talking
with my father a few days ago,
he told me a fact in connection
with our family, which l consider
rather remarkable. Below | give
it to you, and if you consider it
of enough interest to give to your
readers, l shall be glad to see it in
your paper: John Kolnegay, the
father of G. F. r. and Giles Kor-
negay, was born in Duplin county
May %, 1913, and died Nov. %,
1887, being 894 years old. Cath
arine Kornegay, his wife, was born
April IA, 1901, and died Nov. 8,
1877, being nearly 76. They
were married in Dec. 1928, and
lived happily together for nearly
81 years. They were the parents
of eight children, three sons and
five daughters, six of whom are
yet living. They ere the grand
parents of thirty-nine children,
thirty-fve of whom are living.
They were the great-grand pa
rents of four children, all of whom
are living.
The most remarkable fact is that
there has been but six deaths of
the direct descendants of thirty
two people in the long time of
nearly three quarters of century,
that, too, in a family of fifty
three persons, and one of these
was caused by ashot received dur
