Growers Association. however, it ap'
 pears that the farmers of the Souti
 are not anxious to continue receiving
 these seeds. but would rather have the
 money devoted to other purposes o
 real benefit to agriculture. At a re-
 cent meeting of the association strong
 anti free-seed resolutions were adopted
 other things the resolutions say that
 the seeds received from the members
 of congress "are usually the varities | known to be unsuited to the soil and 1 climate of South Texas and hence are worthless to us. These seeds are sent i to us by our representatives in cong ress under the mistaken idea that a 1 favor is being conferred. which mis-
 taken idea we humbly wish to correct. | The amount of money spent annually ! for seed distribution. if apportioned
 among the United States Experiment
 Stations would be a thousand times
 more beneficial to each of us than as
 now spent"
 It was therefore resolved that the 1 association should thank the Texas representatives in congress for past favors in the way of free seeds. but as
 sure them these favors were mistaken
 kindnesses on their part: that they condemn the practice of free distribu-
 tion of garden seeds as an economic
 waste, wholly unjustifable: that "in the future we will not accept them from
 the government free garden seeds; and that we urge our representatives as favor which we will heartily ap- preciate to vote against the bill appro
 priating funds for the distributing of free garden seeds and to use their in- fluence to have the amount thus saved appropriated to the Experiment Sta tions of the country" The resolutions are signed by the president. w.

 Mir. Root at Kansas City.
 t is doubtful if any recent speech by my public man has attracted such dose attenion as that made by Secre ' ary Root at the Trans Mississippi Commerce Convention. It was a clear. erse. strong presentation of the neces- iity for a greater field for American surplus products. and what is neces- iary to obtain and hold that field. America stands in a new position to he world today than it has ever Oc. ;upied before.
