FREE SEED "GRAFT''
TAKES FRESH HOLD
Opposition in Congress
Gives Up Struggle Over
This Item.

The free seed graft" is established
for another term of years. probably
beyond serious possibility Of dislodge-
ment For several years past. Congress
has had an annual struggle over this
item in the agriculture appropriation
bin
It took more OratOry to decide whether
the House was for free seeds, than TO
pass a tariff measure or determine
whether two or four baLtleships should
be built. Appropriation bills have pass
ed carrying many millions with less
conversation and vastly less eIoquence
expended on them, than has lattcrly
been devoted to free seeds.
Many OF the members from asricul-
tural districts have sturdily opposed free
seeds. But Tie advocates of seeds al
ways managed 10 win out by q small
majority, and this year the opposition
gave up the struggle
The House Committee put in $3.50 I'D
for seeds which is more than was ever
given before. Whatever may be said
about the utility of the appropriation
the seeds have always been used. and
members ind themselves Ia many cases
called upon for more than they can
supply. When the item was reached
in the House consideration Of the bill.
nobody said a word. IL was read into
the measure in the midst or a silence
that could have been cut with a knife,
and IL is said there viii he like re-
ticence in the Senate. about making a
