The annual distribution of vegetable
and flower seeds by the department OF
agriculture will be commenced at Wash

it is expected the entire amount, aggre.
eating 38,0O0,0O0 packages, will be in the
hands of the people in all sections Of the
country. Congress for several years has
appropriated $290,0O0 for this purpose
but part of the amount is for foreign
experiment work. Most ct the 80 100000
packages are subject to the order Of SEN
ators and representatives for distribution
among their constituents, the secretary
of agriculture reserving one fifth of the
entire amount to supply the statistical
crop correspondents and the weather
bureau, and for other purposes.

LARGE quantities of dried milk are
made in New Zealand, where milk is
very cheap, and the product is beginning
to appear in the markets of Europe in
the form of powder, which when mixed
with eight to nine times it's bulk of
water gives mixture about like fresh
milk. The New Zealand government
has taken considerable interest in the
product, and is looking after the details,
with the result that the milk powder
seems to be of uniform and reliable quail
ity and likely to meet with favor.

DURING the past year there has

DURING the past year there has been
conducted at the Kansas State agricul-
~tural college an egg laying contest. Sew
eral different breeds were entered, and
the following is the record of eggs pro-
duced in twelve months for each breed,
each contesting pen consisting of one
rooster and six hens: Single comb White
Leghorns, 1856; Rose comb White Leg
horns, 1913; American Reds, 800; White
Wyandottes, 1919; Buff Wyandottes, 1854;
Barred Plymouth Rocks, 619; Light
Brahmas, $780, We give the result that
our farmers may compare the relative
laying qualities of the breeds of hens. 1t
will be seen that these ~ hens laid 5,254
eggs, or 43S dozen. Now the farmer can
figure out profit, if any, for himself.
