displacement of about $4,000 tons

Going After Crooked Seed Companie

FOLLOWING the instructions of

preparation bill, the secretary of agri-
culture this year continued the pur-
chase of seed in the open market to
determine whether and how much
adulteration was practiced by seed
dealers. These samples were analysed

The leafiet with the names of the,
dealers from whom adulterated sam
pies were purchased shows that when
a dealer has once been published it is
seldom that he is again caught in the

Some of the samples analysed this
year showed the merest trace of seed.
The general showing was better, how
ever. than In previous years.
There were 1,214 samples of seed
purchased, some OF them In bulk and
some by mail order. OF these 204
were found to be adulterated. There

Uncle Sam Planning to Make Millions

WITH the beginning of the present
w century Uncle Sam had an awak-
ening, and he began to assume the
position OF a father to his American
children. Already he has become a
great creative force, working for the
betterment and protection of all the
people. He is a real patriarch, de-
voting himself to the personal well
fare of each of his subjects and devel-
oping the family estate for all it is
worth.
TheSs new movements are along a
hundred different lines, and they en-
brace every part Of our country.
They affect every branch of business,
every grade of society, and every
man, woman and child. The plans In,
volye an expenditure of hundreds of
millions, and will add billions of dol
lars to our national wealth. There Is
the idea OF making golden crops
spring up on the soil of our waste
lands, one feature of which was the

100000 in hand to water the deserts,
and his reclamation fund for our arid
lands is fast approximating a hun
dred millions or more. He is tunnel
ing the mountains, damming the
streams and carrying the water in
fumes over the canyons. He has
more than 1900 miles of canals al
ready dug.
Another big scheme is draining the
swamps. We have millions of acres
of wet lands that can be turned into
farms. They are scattered over the
