Seeds For Dry Farms.

According to a press dispatch from
Washington, the first distribution of
field seeds for dry farm lands is to be
made during the coming winter through
members of congress. AT the last ses-
sion an appropriation vas made for
this work and the bureau of plant in
dustry has been carefully collecting
seeds particularly adapted to the arid
regions. Varieties of alfalfa and mil
let of extremely high quality and
vitality are to be sent out to farmers
in the arid west, who will agree to
cooperate in the production of what is
believed will mean several new kinds
of forage plants for unirrigated land.
Each member of congress from west
ern states will have approximately 300
packages OF this seed to distribute to
his constituents, and those who de-
sire such seeds should make applica-
tion at once. Each packag will con
tain sufficient to plant an acre or more.

The Washington correspondent of
the Anaconda Stand ard intimates th at,
with the incoming of the democratic
administr alton on March 4, 1913, every
postmaster in Montana whose salary
exceeds $500 will be within the power
of the Montana congressional delega-
ton 10 select democratic postmasters
to succeed them. Fourth-class post
masters below the $500 grade are pro-
tected by a sort of civil service order,
which may or may not be allowed to
remain in effect. But ever with these
exceptions, there is a very large pat
ronage list in the Montana postofices
alone and a great many local demo.
Gratis will be rewarded after the change
of administr alton.
It is the long.standing rule of both
parties that the appointment of post.
masters shall be left in the hands oil
the congressman, except that each
senator is allowed to name the post.

AS Montana is not districted, it IL
probable that control of postoff1ce ap
