THE SEED: APPROX APPROPRIATION RATION,
HOW 1T IS BEING EXPENDED BY THE
SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE. Fl.
The Seeds Being Sen. Cut this Year ara Tho
Best the Department has Ever Handled.

The Washington correspondent of
the New York Sun gives an inter-
Wow with Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson, in which he is quoted as
follows: .
cit is true that we are diverting
part of the money for the distribu-
tion of seeds. OF the appropriation
of $130,0O0 we are allowing $71, 900
for the distribution of seeds through
Congressman, and tho remainder we
are expending in our own way. Ali
seeds are not tested after distribu-
ton and the contractor was paid
accordingly. Now seeds are tested
by our experts and IS per cent must
germinate or the seeds are rejected.
This insures the recipients good
seeds. Not only must the seeds
gcrminate, but they are tested for
fertility also. The seeds wo are
sending out through members of
Congress this year are the best the
department has ever handled. This
distribution is regarded by the men,
bers and the department as a very
excellent thing, and we are con-
stantly trying to improve the sys-
ten.
"But we are doing much more
than simply distributing common
seeds. The great country lying in
the temperate zone and stretching
from ocean to ocean has within its
confines almost every condition of
climate and soil. 1t Is possible,
therefore, to grow. to highest per-
fection somewhere in the United
States almost everything in the
world. We are trying to ascertain
what particular parts of the United
States will grow certain grains, fruits
and vegetables, and to what part
certain grains, ETC., are particularly
adapted. We find, for instance,

Tobacco Growing.

Southern Farm Life comments as
follows upon the tobacco industry t:
wobacco Is becoming the great
money crop of South Carolina and
West Florida, and in some parts of
Lower Georgia also, A few years
ago experiments in tobacco growing
were made in some of tho Eastern
counties Of South Carolina, The
results obtained wcro little short OF
wonderful, and to day millions of
pounds of tobacco are produced in
those counties, The new industry
has heen Of tho greatest benefit to
tho farmers. From q condition bor-
dering on poverty, thoy arc now
living in comparative independence.
Tho mortgages on their homes
have been paid and they arc putting
money in bank. And this is due to

0regon's Wide Tire Bill. {;

Though the wide-tire movement
moves slowly, it is very gratifying to
know it does move, at least, in spots.
One of these favored spots is the en-
terprising State of Oregon, which
has passed the following bill :@..
"That from and after the first day
of January, A. D. 1900, the county
court or county board Of each county
within this State is hereby authorized
to make n rebate each year, for four
years, on the road tax of each per-
son within its county who shall own
and have in habitual use on tho /
highways of this State wagons or
other vehicles for the transportation
of freight and other heavy articles,
the tires of which are not less than
three inches in width, of $1.00 for
each wheel of such vehicle p; and, pros
vided further, that the owner of each
vehicle having tires not less than
four inches in width, upon which
there is n differcace of at least eight
inches in the length of the front.
and rear axcl, so constructed that,
the front and rear wheel will. not
come in contact with the same road
surface while tho vehicle is, moving
in straight line, shall receive, in
addition to the aforesaid rebate, a
further rebate for four years in his or,
her road tax as aforesaid OF $500 for,
each vehicle of this class, for each
and every year during said period
that said vehicle is habituaily used
upon the highways of this State. 5
1t is a well understood fact that,
if q few wagons in each locality are,
fitted with wide tires, ,aey will serye
as a most patent object lesson. Ore (
gon has taken long step toward Tho.
securing of good re ads and in keeps.
