No Free Samples From the State Ag-
ricultural Department..

Many persons write to the Penn
sylvania State Department of Agri-
culture, asking for free samples of
seeds, bulbs, plants, bees, inoculating
materials for soils, fertilizers, etc. To
a recent correspondent making such
a request, Prof Surface. State Zoolo-
gist, at Harrisburg, replied as fol-
lows:
IL must take this occasion to say
that we send out no material for in
oculating purposes and no free seeds,
trees, plants nor samples of any kind
The impression that the Department
furnishes such material may have
arisen from the fact that the u. S.
Department of Agriculture, at Wash
ington, ID. c., does send out some free
samples through the Congressman.
The State Department of Agriculture
dt Harrisburg has nothing to do with
the distribution of seeds or samples,
and recommends planters to depend
upon tested seeds, obtained as nearly
directly as possible from known and
reliable growers. Good seeds from
reliable sources are just as import
ant in producing good crops as are
select animals in producing good live
stock"
