The business Man East and Yves.

The life Of the business man in the
coast city is as busting as that Of his
fellow on the other side of the states,
only there is this difference: Ia the
northwest he works Just as steadily,
but you find him behind the counter or
at the desk an hour earlier. and he re-
mains an hour or two later. so that he
puts In about IS per cent more Of the
day. He has the telephone at his ell
bow, his stenOgraphEr within range of
his voice ready for oictation at a mo-
menfs notice. He has the time saw
Ing and labor saving system down to n
fine point. Yet despite the day after
dSv of keeping at it the baldheads are
few. Nor do men grow gray before
their time Their nerves stand the
strain despite the truly strenuous lives
they lead. Why? Because they have
not let the chef get the better OF their
stomachs, their homes in the heart of
the out OF doors are filed with fresh
air from sea and mountain. The s4.l-
light can come in on all sides. IN Y
do not need a morning bracer, so mat
there IS not so much temptation to dis
slpate, They prove that work will not
break you down II you keep yourself
In trim for the tasks OF each day.-Out-
Ing Magazine.

FREE SEED AND FREE SEED.

We again gladly accord our old-time sub seriber space in this issue to express his views on the congressional free seed question. Farm and Ranch would not destroy natiousn or do anything drastic to force others to think as we do. But we wish to be left as free to think, speak and act as we leave others We did not use the word 'puerilen in referring to Mir. Gay or to others We said nothing against those who desire to receive improved seed from the government
 We stood up, and still stand, in favor of spending money freely for the introduction of valuable foreign seeds and the dis semination of really valuable new kinds" and cited instances of great good resulting from work done. We opposed the common garden seed congressional waste Of public money. We discriminate sharply between
 D the improved seeds and new sorts sent out by the department and 2l the cheap common seeds having no experimental value, sent out at the behest of congressman.
 The "inoculated alfalfa seedn received of thesUnited States Department of Agriculture by Friend Gay were not congressional seed. These are something new and are sent only to the most enterprising farmers on request or to those cooperating and connected with that department, ss is MT Gay Farm and Ranch readers will recall the Johnson grass experiments conducted on Mir Gays farm by the department under Prof Spillman's direction, illustrations of which appeared in these pages We must here discriminate closely between the average farmer and the more progressive, just as we should between the new and valuable seeds and the cheap stuff sent only for remembrance to faithful constituents. MT. Gays political belief is opposed to the present incumbent, n he says and he did not get congressional seed.
 We are, therefore, pleased to affirms our former position and at the same time, agree fully with our correspondent by saying we ''believe that the distribution Of improved seed IS a proper thing for the farmer and that Secretary Wilson has proper con- ception Of the free-seed business when he advocates doing away with all those features which Washingtonians ridieule as elect ioneering lodges Farm and Ranch.
