 Senator Pettus of Alabama, eighty-four years young, listened in amazement yes- terday to the debate on eliminating the free seeds now distributed by members of Congress through the Agricultural Department He heard many senators say the practice is fraud and an imposi- tion and should be stopped. Then he rose and lectured the Senate-lectured the iconocasts who want no more free seeds.
 MT. President" he said in grieved tones. just think of 1t for a moment! What is the purpose of distributing valuable seeds and bulbs and flowers. too? Do you all forget your country raising? Do you suppose farmer ought not to have flow CTS in his yard? You forget your youth if you do not forget your raising. We young men remember the flowers that we saw. Do you not remember the box that stood on the cabin front porch? Do vou not remember the violets that grew in that box? Senators. do not forget what you once knew. Do not forget when you were better, if not wiser, than you are now"
