livery of seed authorized by Congress at Its
last regular session.
Although the evidence before the Court OF

Chief of the Bureau of Plant Industry
Investigation of contract frauds is the
order of the day In Washington ana the
facts presented to the Court of Claims war
rant the belief that there has been steady
graft for contractors fortunate enough
to obtain the contract for seed purchase ana
distribution Congress appropriates an.
nually over sloo0o0 for the purchase ana
distribution of seed and all of this is
supposed TO go to the contractor.
The most damaging evidence rests against
the inspectors of the Government tntrusted
with the work of overseeing the contractor
and preventing fraud.
Secretary Wilson said to-day:
I'VE have known of these things In the
department for some time and We intend to
probe them to the bottom. We believe
that We have held up enough to reimburse
the Government for any losses that may
have accrued. The case is in the hands of
