WINKED
AT SHORT
WEIGHT

Washington. June 25.-Sensstional
charges OF violation of contract ard OF
short weight in the seeds furnished the
department OF agriculture sppear IN the
testimony given before the court OF
claims against the New YORK Market
Gardeners association.
Arthur c. Nellis, contractor and repre-
sentative OF the New York association,
alleges the government owes him $4,000
on his contract for l900-iao1. Officials or
the department OF agriculture assert that
Nellis gave orders that all packages or
seed should be made up short I'm weight;
that the packages were not properly Ia
belled: that the seed was delivered two
months after the time specified In the
contract, and that no penalty was en-
forced. and that cheap and improper pa
per was used In making up the packages
Although two or more government In
snectors were constantly present 10 see
that the contract was fulfilled, no atten-
ton apparently was paid by them 10 the
alleged abuses.
charles Kingsley. foreman under Mel
,is In his testimony filed with the court
of claims. says he received orders from
Nelis 10 make all packets snort
weight" and that he did so.
Instead OF Weighing the seeds before
placing them in the packages. II Is charg
ed the seed was simply scooped up with
spoons or other measures by the nun
dreds OF girls employed as packers
IL is also charged that Nellis substitute
Cd cheaper seeds for the higher priced
varieties. one specification being that he
labelled spinach seed costing cents a
mound beet seed" which costs rs centa.
I'm the year covered by the litigation
congress appropriated si0S.57t.12 for seeds.
and Nellis was paid about s9o.57t2e. These
are the seeds representatives and sena-
tors receive from the government Tor
distribution among their constituents.
Scandals regarding the seed distribu-
tion have been frequent for many years
on almost every contract let the agricul-
turaI department officials have claimed
that rrst-ciass seed was not furnished
The case will he argued before the
court OF claims at an early date.

The scientific reason for popping
of corn has been investigated by
Prof. Kraemer, of Philadelphia,
who finds that the endorsperm is
more or less translucent and horny
and its cells contain closely arrang-
ed polygonal starch grains having
a central rarefed area. The de-
gree of the expansion of these cells
depends upon the relative amount
of water and air in the grains.
