From commercial stand point, the
most beneficial feature of the new order
will consist of the introduction of new
varieties of grains and forage plants,
etc. This year especial attention will
be paid to sugar beets, cotton, tobacco
and forage crops, including the Turkes.
tan alfalfa which Prof. Bessy has gone
to Asia to procure. The best varieties
of macaroni wheat and rice will also be
included. Last year, the farmers Of this
country spent 100000 for imported
sugar beet seed. The Department has
succeeded in growing beets in this
country, which yield q per cent. of
sugar, and in raising seed therefrom,
and that seed will be made part of the
distribution. The cotton seed will bs
from the carefully bred crosses of Sea
Island and upland cottons which yield
a superior staple and are exceptionally
resistant to disease. What macaroni
wheat has prolited the farmers of the
northwest is we'll known and seed Of the
best varieties will be distributed. In
a word, every effort will be made to
render the congressional seed distribu-
ton judcious and profitable expendi.

A further development Of the same
Idea leads Prof. Galloway to arrange for
the distribution of number of tiny
trees to the schools By their means,
the first principles of forestry will be
instilled into the minds of the pupils,
love for trees will be cultivated and,
in many instances, the surroundings OF
the village schoolhouse will be materi-
ally improved Of course all seeds,
etc., will be distributed on the orders
of members of Congress but the Profes
sor has little doubt that his plans will
be approved by those gentlemen as it
is we'll recognized fact that no sup
port is more useful to the aspiring pol.
itician than that of the children who
will never tire Of singing the praises of
the member or senator who has made
their little gardens possible.

Another feature of the seeds schel

Another feature of the seeds scheme
perfected by Prof. Galloway consists in
sending a large number of packages to
the schools of the country. The seeds
will be grown in window gardens and
small plats of land, and it is believed,
will prove of material assistance to the
teachers iu exciting interest in that ma.
ture study which is being extensively
advocated as an advisable part of the
ordinary school course. Nature study,
which Prof. Galloway defines as a study
of live things, as in contradistinction to
dead things, calls forth every faculty OF
the pupil and affords entertainment as
we'll as instruction. At every stage,
from the termination of the seed to the
maturing Of the blossom. or the new
seed, the growing plant affords interest
ing lessons in many sciences and the in

(FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT
Monday, August Is, 1902.
By a special provision Of the Agricul'
tural appropriation bill, the Depart
ment of Agricultre is obliged to expend
this year the sum of $270,O0o for the
distribution Of seeds On the orders oil
individual congressman and, with d
view to insuring to the people and to
the members of congress the largest
and most profitable return for this sum
the Secretary of Agriculture has in
trusted its expenditure to Prof. Bever-
ly T. Galloway, chief of the Bureau Of
Plant Industry. The contract system
by which an effort was made to secure
the largest possible amount of seed, ap-
parently irrespective of quality, has been
abandoned. Hereafter seeds will be
purchased by experts in Prof. Gallo
ways bureau and will be the best OBJ
tainable. For purposes Of distribution
the country has been divided into sew
EN- districts and to each will be senl
only seeds suitable to the locality. A
new feature will be introduced, one
more in accordance with the original
intention Of the law. 1t will consist OF
the distribution of a large number o.
seedsmen's novelties. These will be
sent out with directions for their cult
walton and the addresses Of the origin
ators. so that those who, having tested
the seed find the new variety to possess
merit, will know where to procure more
By this means the extensive testing Of
many new varieties will be accomplish
ed and the free distribution will be
made valuable to the seedsman instead
of an injury to his business as has here
tofore been the case. The number Of
novelties secured for this years distrl-
button will not permit of an allotment
exceeding 500 packages to each con-
gresham but it is hoped that by next
year the allotment may be tripled.
