Washington, Jan. 26.-In connection
with the discussion of agricultural APP
preparation bill in the house there was
a general debate on the committee pro-
vision appropriating $23S,OOO for the
purchase and testing of new, rare and
uncommon seeds, bulbs, trees, shrubs
and vines, and emitting the usual APP
preparation for the purchase of ordi-
nary flowers and garden seeds for dis
tribution. Chandler of Mississippi led
the fight for free seeds, and in long
speech in favor of the provision in
last years appropriation bill he charged
that the item in the present bill was
the work Of lobby composed Of seed
men of the country, and of effective
newspaper work.
His Dear Old Farmer Friends"
BE said he could not go back and
look his dear old farmer friends in
the face. after the increase of the
salaries Of congreemen, if free seeds
were not to be had. He offered a sub
stitute providing for free seeds as here
tOfore He criticised the department
of agriculture for interfering in the
matter, and said the government was
becoming q bureaucracy. Clayton Of
Alabama insisted that the amendment
of the committee placed in the hands
of the secretary Of agriculture pow
er which he did not believe "any bu-
reau chief should possess" Hepburn
OF Iowa demanded to know whether
the provision carried in the bill would
not put the rare and unusual seeds"
provided for there wholly in the hands
Of the seed men, as they were the only
well-known experimenters.
Some Remarks on the Other Side.
| Wadsworth, chairman of the agri-
cultural committee, replied that he
ton could be made in the reading OF
the paragraph. Scott Of Kansas, in
defending the proposed plan Of distri-
button Of seeds, said the department
of agriculture had suggested the
amendment. He thought the govern
ment with the same propriety might
give lead pencils to the people, jack
knives to the boys, as to give free
seeds. He said the press of the coJn-
try. the agricultural colleges, and very
largely the farm journals, were OPP
posed to the congressional distribution
of seeds. There was much more talk,
but the matter was not acted upon.

Irish Emigration to This Country Has
Been Enormous.

No page in history reveals such mi
grafton that of the Irish to America
The figures are astonishing. From 1910
to 1850 not fewer than 100000 crossed the
ocean to settle in the United States; from
1860 to 1850 an additional 1000 600 made a
fresh start in life in the great republic
time another 10000 was added to our
population. Since 1860 the average has
been 10000 a decade.

scented by Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, I'LL

Dakota, contain one-fourth of the 100000
OF the portion settled in the North At
lantic states but one-fifth are on farms
but this tendency to crowd into the towns
disappears when the surroundings are ag-
ricultural, as is shown by the large per
centage-more than 50-of those who have
tural states above mentioned.
1t is only because the bulk of the Irish
in America are not in the midst of farm
ing districts that they are less an agri-
cultural people than the other immigrant
elements added to the population. They
have found outlet for their energies in
the cOngested districts and their wonder
