Deadlock of Congress Over Free Seeds"

IN THE deadlock between senate and
I house over the agricultural appro-
priations bill one Of the items-if no,
the chief item-was that for S239.416
for congressional seed distribution"
Generally speaking. the senate was de-
termined to abolish this old-time ap-
preparation and the house was deter
mined to retain it. Yet there were
many senators for the seeds" and
many representatives against them.
Days and days were spent In debate
on the subject. OF course. many Gu
rious things were said. Here are a
few picked at random from the In
terminable debate:
Senator Gronna, North Dakota-I
am quite sure that no senator will
contend that package of see6 can
be sent through the mails for less than
one cent. and IL costs for transporto.
ton alone S10.000.OOO and more.
Representative Langley, Kentucky
My observation has been that the men
who talk the loudest and protest the
most against the distribution of gar
den seeds are the stingiest men In this
