Representative Langley, Kentucky
MY observation has been that the men
who talk the Ioudest and protest the
most against the distribution OF gar
den seeds are the stihgiest men In this

should appropriate money for this
purpose when we know the object Of
It and know the misuse Of the APP
preparation.
Senator Thomas, Colorado-JuSt as
long as the house knows that the SEN
ate will ultimately yield under the cir
cumstanees, Just so long win such
abuses as this old seed abuse, that is
hoaFy with age and claims to be sane
tilted by time, be continued upon this
BIN.
Senator Kenyon, Towa-I do not be-
lieve there 10 anything that has held
up the American congress to SO much
