simmons on Free seed.

lettering to the matter Of free seed
distribution by the government, Sen
ator Simmons said today: ''Thc last
appropriation bill carried an a%ppropri-
alton for seeds of about $4,000.
over $125.OOO of this amount is for the
purchase of rare and. valuable seeds.
These are generally high priced seeds.
They are distributed largely by the
Agricultural Department. though not
altogether. The Introduction Of these
new varieties of Seed-cOttOn. rice.
tobacco, alfalfa, CloverS. beggar weed.
etc, add each year millions and tens
of millions to the value of agricultural
products and the wealth of the coun-
try.
The balance Of this appropriation,
amounting to $4,000 is used BY the
Department for the purchase of what
IS known as common seed" sue as
can be bought in drug stores and from
any seed man. They are comparative
~ cheap and they make up the bulk
Of the small packages sent out by
REPRESENTATIVES and Senator's.
DIR. Galloway stated to me that the
amount appropriated for the purchase
Of rare and valuable seed was mad
equate II that the Department could
profitably spend $4,000 or $4,000 for
these seed and that the benefit from
the introduction Of these new and inn
proved varieties Of see to agriculture
would be enormous"
Senator Simmons expressed himself
as being opposed to any reduction of
the amount now appropriated for the
purchase of seed, but said he believed
that It would be better to spend the
whole amount for rare varieties. and
in the cOmmittee he advocated the
policy of using the whole appropria-
ton for the purchase of improved va
rleties Of seed for distribution through
Members and Senators only to such
persons as would agree to use such
care in cultivation IS would make the
experiment valuable and report the
result each year to the Department

MouIton Citizens Plan a Beautiful
Park

Moulton. Aug. 21.-Several citizens
see the need Of park at this place,
and they are now talking of putting IN
an amusement park here. The tract of
ground Is in the north part OF town
and contains fifteen acres. 1t is unde-
cided yet as to whether or not 1t VIII
he sure thing, as necessary conces-
sions must be made by the town coun-
ell before it would be possible. Among
the things proposed are race track,
ball diamond, football ground, swim
ming pool and toboggant or chute the
chutes bath house, swings and several
of the latest novelties. A house with
seating capacity OF 500 or 600, will be
erected, and it will be used for vaude-
Vile entertainments and lectures. II
the plan Is success and the people
here are In accord with it company
will probably be incorporated this fall
and the grounds laid off and the deer
well for water supply and the pond
will be made within the next few
months The nearest amusement park
in this part of the state is Des Moines
