FREE SEED BUSINESS OF
UNCLE SAM GROWS BIG

WASHINGTON. Jan. 24.--Every
time the suggestion is made in Con-
gress that Uncle Sam should quit dis
tributing seeds huge protest is rails
ed IN every corner OF the land. Il
comes from the city as well as the
farm and no lawmaker who values
his job has the temerity to 20 beyond
making the suggestion that the Gov
eminent practice OF distributing seed
shall be curtailed The country de-
mands free seed
The present plan of seed distribu-
ton had its origin back in lT43. In
that year the British Parliament
granted 100000 TO promote the culti-
walton OF indigo and other crops in
the American colonies. and the as
semblies OF various colonies appro-
priated small sums from time to time
TO encourage the cultivation of plants
new to this country. such as hops,
mulberry trees and vineyards for tho
establishment Of an American wine
industry
Sent SilkwOrms Home.
BENJAMIN Franklin, while in Eng

home silkworm eggs and mulberry
cuttings In the five years that he
represented this country as Minister
to France Thomas Jefferson forward
ed many seed samples of grasses,
rice, peppers ana olives to CORE

rare plants and seeds to Washington
for distribution A botanical garden
was later established in Washington
in which we're grown many Of the
rare and interesting plants imported
from foreign countries.
Despite these efforts to introduce
new seeds and plants. many varieties
of fruits and vegetables with which
everybody is now familiar were
scarce or unknown ia this country IN
the early part of the Nineteenth Gem
fury. There we're few seed farms,
nurseries or secjsmcn. Seeds were
mostly grown by the farmers them.
selves and there was no Improvement
from year TO year
For BETTER seeds.
Interest I'M better seeds and in Sc
curing now seeds and plants resulted
largely from the agricultural fairs in
augurated by The various societies
for promoting agriculture" which
were organized at Charleston, New
York Philadelphia, Boston and Wash
ington.
In 1899, through the efforts OF Henry
l.. Ellsworth. Commissioner OF Pat

made for the purpose Of collecting

agricultural Investigations and pro-
curing agricultural statistics With
the appropriation 10000 packages OF

DEMOCRATS
AT PIG ROAST

The newly-elected officers Of the
Democratic League entertained about
1875 members of the league and their
friends last night at an old fashioned
pork supper. Three young porkers,
sauer kraut, green peas, stewed corn,
potatoes and celery we're the menu.
The new officers, headed by George

performed their tasks in a most
graceful way
Among those who we're present we're
several members Of the Legislature
and State, county and city Offices
Since the new officers we're elected
the league has taken on new life and
bids fair to keep up a lively pace
and hold prominent place in the
Democratic party of the State.
