ported the agricultural appropriation
bill minus the usual item for free seed
distribution. In explaining the omis-
sion of this vote-getter for congress-
men the report has this to say: "The
item covering the congressional free
distribution of vegetable and flower
seed has been entirely omitted from
the bill There is not, and never has
been, any warrant of law for this ex-
penditure, and the item mas simply
been tolerated in appropriation bills.
THE principle involved in this
work is entirely wrong, has never
been approved by the department of
agriculture and has really been

lines of investigation.

experimental purposes through the ex-
pertinent stations of the several
