SENDING OUT SEEDS
Fight Against the Appropria-
tion is Expected.
CLAIMS IN IT'S FAVOR
HELD TO BE A GREAT STIMULUS
TO AGRICULTURE.
Wonderful Ingenuity of the Inventions
Wonderful Ingenuity of the Inventions
Devised for Packing and Separat-
ing the Seeds.

Members of Congress from agricultural
districts are anticipating a renewal of the
fight at the coming session of Congress
against their pet hobby-the free d.stribu-
ton of seed by the government-on which
q determined attack was launched last year.
When the appropriations for the Agricul-
rural Department are made 1t is expected
that the item providing for the maintenance
Of the seed-d.stribution bureau will meet
with vigorous opposition. en- the ground
that II is extravaganza and an expen-
sive burden on the government.
1t is the contention of those opposed to
the appropriation, who consist almost
wholly of representatives from city dis
tricts. that the distribution of seed in the
manner In which 1t Is now carried on is
practically worthless as means of pro-
noting agricultural industry in the coun-
try. The point is made that the quantity
of seed sent TO each person is not sufficient
TO be of any practical use, viii the ex-
pense of packing and distributing 1t is
enormous. The allotment to each person
consists usually of five small packets con-
tanning varieties of either vegetable or
flower seeds and having asvalue in the mar
ket of about - cents.
Stimulus to Agriculture.
On the other hand. 1t is held by the rep
resentatives from the country districts that
the free distribution of seed has given a
great stimulus to the farming industry and
that to abolish it now would tend toward
restraining the natural development Of the
country. This contention is corroborated
by reports of the Agricultural Department.
in which il Is shown that the gratuitous
distribution of the vegetable seeds has had
a tendency toward raising the standard of
agricultural products throughout the coun-
try
While there is little fear that the efforts
of the city representatives will have a sue
cessful issue. the campaign will be watched
with interest all over the country. Thou
sands of persons from Maine to CALI
fornia are now in annual receipt of seed
from the government, and the stoppage OF
the distribution would cause hue from
enc end OF the country to the other. In

MOELLER.

DR.. Thor. Moeller, a Devils
Lake physician, takes exception
to an item which appeared in the
Independent last week about a
physician named Moeller, who
spent some weeks in Minot last
summer. The Devils Lake doc
tor has never practiced in Ward
county, and in fact has never
been here, so what was said was
not intended for him at all. The
Independent understands that
the Devils Lake physician is a
gentleman in every sense Of the
word, and certainly did not in
tend to cast any insinuations at
his character. The doctor is
one Of the m ost prominent mem
bers Of his profession in the
state.

WIN. DAVIDSON LIVED
NEARLY 100 YEARS.
Some interesting Facts Concerning Life Of
Minnesota's Oldest Mason Who Died and
was Buried in Minot.

VIM. Davidson was born at
Muselborough, Scotland, Oct.
%, 1910, being a descendant OF
a line of Scotch warriors. He
dieu in Minot, Nov. s, 1905.
His ia ther served sixteen years
in the British army. When he
was but IS years of age, he
came to America and settled in
Lowell, Mass. There he married
Mary Stephenson, whom he met
first in a parade of 5000 young
ladies who had turned out all
dressed in white to greet the fu-
ture President, Andrew Jackson.
His wife died in 1873 and was
buried at St. Charles, MINI.
The Davidson family moved to
Thompsonville, Conn, where the
entire family was born. In 1S49
the family moved to Iowa and
from there to Minnesota. In the
early days the life OF the farmer
was not the easiest imaginable,
and VIM. Davidson worked hard
subduing the native soil and pre-
pairing a suitable home for his
family. This man lived to see won
derful inventions in all sorts of
machinery, especially in imple-
ments. He remembered we'll the
firstrailrodd train, being but six
teen years of age when the first
train was run in the United
States.
Mr.. Davidson was a good
Christian man and for many
years was member of the Pres
byterian church, occupying the
office OF deacon many years.
! During his early life, Mr.. Da-
wilson was a weaver in the mills
OF Lowell, Mass. So we'll did he
master his trade, that when he
i moved to Connecticut in 1919
he was promoted to the position
OF Inspector OF cloth at the mills
which he held for many years
There was nothing about this
very particular business which
escaped him. For four years
he lived on a farm in Clayton
