Three-quarters Of Million Yearly Ex-

WASHINGTON, Oct. o. Behold how

quoted Long Island farmer Of re-
ligious turn of mind few days ago,
when he saw about ten thousand pack
ages Of government "free seeds" being
burned in the yard Of neighbor in
one Of the suburbs Of Brooklyn. aWhy
are you burning the seedsi' he asked.
Because they are worthless. was the
reply. The farmer thoroughly agreed
with this stateemnt, but he thought
they might be made useful @What
will you sell them forf' he asked. "You
can have all you can carry away for
half dollar" was the reply. so he
loaded up bushel bag and took it
into New York. Here he told his story
to seeds dealer, with the result that
those despised seeds viii form one of
the principal exhibits in the anti-fNe
seed campaign when Congress reassem-
bles. These ten thousand or more
packages of seeds which a generous
government forced upon unwilling Long
Island farmers were not being destroyed
because they were old or worm eaten,
as was once the case. They were prob
ably good enough in their way, but
they were not good enough for the Long
Island truck farmers, although especial
" designed for trucksters. They were
destroyed because they were of the
,ommonest varieties, many Of them be-
ing seeds that had been on the mar
Set for twenty or thirty years. In
fact, some of them are SO old that
hey have been discarded by the more
anterprising seedsmen for newer and
varieties. and the only place
hey are obtainable is at the Depart
nent of Agriculture, which sends them
'ut in the Congressional Free Seed dis
as "new, rare and valuable"
eeds. At one time the free seed dis
was a joke, but it has become
serious matter, for Congress is vast
ng quarter million dollars yearly in
his manner, to say nothing Of the $780,
90 it costs the postoffice department to
anndle them. The farmers are getting
