ASKS $4,000, 900 TO BUY
SEED FOR FARMERS

David f. Houston, Secretary of
Agriculture, has asked Congress for
an appropriation of $4,000 900 to en-
able the Department of Agriculture
to buy and sell seed to farmers for
cost at a reasonable price. The nee
cessity for the appropriation is ex-
planned in the following letter which
the Secretary has sent to the Secretary
Of the Treasury:
Il have the honor to submit here
with, for transmission to Congress for
inclusion in the urgent deficiency bill
an estimate of an appropriation Of
$6,OO0,O0O to enable the department
to purchase and sell seeds to farmers
in areas where unusual conditions pre-
vail, and particularly in those which
have suffered during the past season
from severe drought It is suggested
that the following language will ac-
cOmplish the purpose which the depart
ment mas in mind :ment has in mind:
'To enable the Secretary of Agrcul
ture to meet the emergency caused by
the need for food and feed crops by
purchasing, or contracting with per
sons to grow seeds suitable for the
production of food or feed crops and
to store, transport, and furnish such
seeds to farmers for cash at a reason

may be used as revolving fund I'M

termines that no such emergency eX~

ture is authorized to pay all such ex-
penses, including rent, and to employ
such persons and means in the District
of Columbia and elsewhere, and to CO.
operate with such state authorities

he may dem necessary to accomplish
such purpose.

DOWN THE LIE

Down the German lie every time.
1t is popping its head up daily, first
with one mask and then with another.
Just now, when Congress is investi-
eating conditions in the army, navy
and food administration. the German
lie may take particularly vicious and
subtle form. EXaggeration of lit
tie truth is one of its favorite dis
guiscs. Men have died of pneumonia
in the army camps, it is true. but the
percentage Of men who have thus
passed away i'll service is low. Thou
sands of men died during the Spanish
American war because of unhealthy
conditions IN contrast with the few
who have died during this war to date
Yet the German liar, by exaggeration,
has been trying to terrorize every
father. mother, wife, sister and man in
the land.
Congress is simply trying to make
good conditions better and has to date

spread alarm or pessimism. Mem

be enacted and embracing the At lantic and Gulf coasts which will largely supercede the local laws in the various fishing districts; these laws are at present discouraging the fishermen, keeping them from using the most productive kinds of gear and curtailing the catches. Also in some of the districts closed seasons on cer- tain varieties of salt water fish are now being enforced during the periods when these varieties are in greatest abundance in the shore waters and in many of the districts restrictive laws against nOn-residents and alien fish ermen are rendering it impossible for vessels and equipment from one state to make catches of fish in the shore waters of adjacent states.
 In the enactment of the regulations due regard will be paid by the food { administration to any present restric- tions which are vitally necessary from the standpoint of conservation Regu- lations will later be put into effect on the Pacific coast as a result of the recommendations of the federal food administrators for the salt water states. No modification will be made , in regard to restrictions at present prevailing on the halibut or salmon fisheries; the present laws regarded as very necessary to conserve the supplies of these varieties.
 The licenses will be issued without charge or fee of any kind under such rules and regulations governing the conduct of the business as may be prescribed by the United States food administration.
 All applications for license must be on blanks to be provided, and must be mailed to the following address:

NEW BILL
 AMENDS HOMESTEAD LAIN

Delegate Charles A. SuIzer has intro. Luced in congress bills which, if en. acted into law, will prove of great 1 benefit to the homesteaders and cause much productive land to be brought under cultivation at once.
 It is a well-known fact that owing to restrictive regulations the man wanting to take up land has been prac- tlcalIy penalized for doing so, and | many persons have gone to Northern Canada and other places and settled on land where the land was no more productive than that in Alaska and where the market conditions were no so good. The agricultural resources ot Alaska are beginning to attract at tentlon, as we'll as grazing possibil- ltlss, and the purpose of the delegate IS to encourage settlement in every possible manner. He has so far intro duced bills for extending the farm loan act to Alaska" in order that those taking up land may secure necessary funds for carrying on their work; a bill amending the present homestead law so that the homesteaders may take up land in unsurveyed portions of Alaska; a bill abolishing the SO-rod strip between homesteads, and bill authorizing the leasing and grazing of lands in Alaska.
 The bill to amend the homestead law is its application to Alaska and for other purposes" introduced Jan. 10th, is as follows:
 That the act of congress entitled An act to amend the United States homestead law in it's application to Alaska, and for other purposes" ap- proved July 8, 1916, is hereby amended to read as follows:
 Section l. That every person who IS qualified under existing laws to make homestead entry of the public lands of the United States who has settled upon or who shall hereafter settle upon any of the public lands of the United States situated in the dis trict of Alaska, whether surveyed or unsurveyed, with the intention of claiming the same under the home stead laws, shall be subject to the provisions and limitations of the act approved March 3, 1903, chapter 1902, United States at large, page 1928, be entitled to enter 160 acres or less quantity of unappropriated public land in said district of Alaska, and no more, and former homestead entry in any other state or territory shall not be a

REGULATION IF FISH INDUSTRY
 BY LICENSING

After today all salt water fisher men and distributors of seafood not already licensed will be required to operate under licenses granted by the United States food administration. President Wilson, acting under author ity granted by the food control act, has issued a proclamation which gives the food administration almost com plete control of the distribution of salt water fish, including menhaden, crustaceans and shellfish. Wholesale fish dealers are already operating un- der license.
 The proclamation covers all fisher men engaged at any period of the year, whether fishing independently or on shares. It covers, as we'll, all people engaged in the catching or dis tribution of any forms of seafood who engage in business after February IS, without securing a license, will be liable to fine of not more than $5,- UVO, to imprisonment for not more than one year, or to both fine and imprisonment.
 All persons subject to license must apply to the United States Food Ad- ministration, License Division, Wash ington, D. C., specifying the nature of the business to be licensed.
 The licensing of the fishermen and the control thereby given will enable the food administration to foster and aid the salt water fisheries and great ly increase the catches and the oppor- tunities of the fishermen to broaden their operations. All this will be brought about by regulations soon to

 "Sectlon 7 That if the system of public surveys has not been extended over the land included in a homestead entry, the entryman may. after due compliance with the terms of the homestead law in the matter of resi- dence, cultivation, and improvement submit to the register and receiver a showing as to such compliance. duly corrOborated by two witnesses and if such evidence satisfactorily shows that the homesteader is in a position to submit acceptable final proof inc surveyor general of the territory will be so advised and will, not later than the next succeeding surveying season issue proper instructions for the sur vey of the land so entered. without expense to the entryman. who may thereafter submit final proof as in similar entries of surveyed lands. So far as practicable, such surveys shall follow the general system of public land surveys, and the entryman shall conform his boundaries thereto; pro- vided, that nothing herein shall ore. vent the homesteader from securing earlier action on his entry by a spec. ial survey at his own expense, if he so elects.
 Section 3. That there shall be ex cepted from homestead settlement and entry under this act the lands in An. nette and Probilof Islands, the islands leased or occupied for the propaga. i tion of foxes, and such other lands as have been, or may be, reserved or withdrawn from settlement or entry
