Market for Seeds.

The market for grass and other seeds in
Canada is one which the farmers along
the border are in splendid position to
supply. Glover and timothy seeds can be
raised profitab1y in many sections, and in
certain seasons. IL they can be sure of a
market not too far away. Canada takes
much larger quantities of clover and
timothy from the United States than she
sends to this country, but heretofore she
has levied a duty Of 10 per cent on these
products. They will now go in free. as
will garden and field seeds generally.
Some decided advantages are derived by
nurserymen under the terms Of the agree
ment. The negotiators found that mu-
tuai lowering of duties on grape vines.
gooseberry, raspberry and currant bushes
would be beneficial to both countries. and
this was done. The American negotiators,
went further than this, and per-
suaded the Canadian commissioners to
lower the duty on horticultural stock from
the United States. This includes apple,
cherry, peach, pear, plum and ounce
trees. Canada imports more than $5O0.UO3
Of these trees from this country. and
under the reduced duties the importa-
tions are pretty certain to increase.

REV. 7. F. M'GWGAN
Ill IN THE HOSPITAL
Suddenly Stricken After Dinner
Friday Evening-His
Condition Serious.

Rev. Thomas E. Michigan. first assist
ant pastor Of st. Patricks Catholic
Church. is lying at Providence Hospital
dangerously Ill Of acute Bright's disease
and his physicians at late hour last
evening would not venture an opinion as
to the outcome.
After fulfilling his customary duties at
St. Patrick's Friday Father Michigan
was apparently In his usual good health
and spirits until taken Ill shortly after
dinner. A physician was called and at
once ordered him taken to the hospital
where it was said his condition showed
some Improvement as the hours wore on.
His parents at Westsrnport. Md. were no.
titled of his illness, and his father tele-
graphed that he would come to Washing
ton at once. He is expected to come on
the first train leaving that place.
The news that Father McGuigan had
been stricken with illness spread with
great rapidity among the parishioners OF
St. Patrick's yesterday. az well as among
his friends in other parishes OF the city.
and there were many hopes expressed
that he would speedily recover.
He had been present at the celebration
OF Maryland day in Carroll Hall Friday
morning ard off1ciated at the stations of
the cross in st. Patrick's in the after

All Glasses Of Vegetables.

This includes all classes of vegetables,
from potatoes to what is generally known
as garden truck. In fresh fruits the adj
vantage is very largely in favor of the
United States. and this covers every
section of the country. Last year the
United States sold to Canada, under va
riOus rates of duty, fresh fruits to the
value Of $1,271,OOO, while the exports OF
fresh fruits from Canada to the United
States were only $233, O03. 1t is safe
prediction that the first year after the
reciprocity agreement goes into force, the
exports of fresh fruits to the United
States will amount to $2.GC0,GO0. while
fresh vegetables will approach nearly the
same figure.
The benefit which the farmers who
grow cotton will receive from the free
listing Of cottonseed Oil are notable. The
present duty, which is 111a per cent ad
valorem, is heavy one. yet the figures
ada Of cottonseed oil. which now reach
$1,1O0,O00 and upwards. are likely to be
doubled when the duties are removed.
There Is pretty general agreement
that the free listing of live stock Is one
of the most important features of the
agreement. Secretary Wilson of the De-
partment Of Agriculture has explained
how the western corn growers will have
the opportunity to fatten Canadian cattle.
But since the terms of the agreement
were published IT has developed that the
free entry of horses on both sides of
the line is going to be one Of the most
advantageous features. Nobody objects
to this free entry, yet heretofore heavy
duty has hampered q trade which is a
most important one. Out in Montana it
has been found that a very great adj
vantage will be derived by the farmers
from the opportunity to drive their sheep
further norLn during certain seasons, and
then bring them back across the line
without the payment of duty.

ONE RESULT SHOWN
Lawn Decoration Follows
Campaign Of Education.
ADDRESSES ON SUBJECT
Topic Discussed Before the Chevy
Chase Association.

One result of the campaign Of education
being conducted by Glenn Brown, secre-
tary Of the American Institute of Archi-
tects, and David Fairchild, president OF
the Peoples Gardens Association, to stir
the people to renewed efforts to beautify
Washington is the decoration of the
lawns surrounding the triangular park
In Park road west Of 18th street north
Improvement by the government.
Predicting that the day was not far
away when Chevy Chase would be a part
OF the city Of Washington and not a
suburb, and declaring that therefore the
people of that community had a great in
terest in the proper development Of
Washington. Mr.. Brown and DIR. Fair
child addressed the Chevy Chase Citizens
Association at special meeting in Chevy
Chase Library building last night.
stereopticon Views Shown
The speakers were introduced by b. 8.
Parker. Mr.. Brown illustrated his adj
dress with stereopticon views Of WASH
ington, and the plan for its develop
ment outlined by the park commission.
He laid particular stress upon the inn
provement of Rock Creek valley from
Massachusetts, avenue to the point where
1t flows into the Potomac river, and
dump heaps along the banks of the creek.
He pictured the beautiful park which
could be made there. connecting Rock
Creek Park and Potomac Park. He de-
clared that unless Rock Creek valley
dollar Connecticut avenue bridge stood
in danger Of losing Its artistic surround
ings.
Mr.. Brown urged that the members OF
the association give their support to the
park commissions plan for Lincoln
memorial on the banks of the Potomac
river in line with the Capitol and WASH
ingt0n Monument
ornamenting Home Lawns.
Dr. Fairchild showed what could be
done toward the Identification OF the
city by planting flowers and shrubs in
the yards Of the homes. He illustrated
his address with a number Of photo
graphs. showing not only the splendid re-
suits which have been obtained in sew
eral other cities, but also the lack of
flowers about the homes of number OF
prominent Washin gtonians. He poiiited
out that this method of beautifyins the
city could be adopted by every citizen
whose home has front or back yard.
The entire city. he declared. could be
made to blossom like q rose II the people
united in their efforts to have the home
gardens cultivated.
