HOUSE AND SENATE DIFFER ON
FREE SEEDS.

Secretary Meredith went on record
as opposing the appropriation OF
$3.50 900 for the distribution of free
seeds. but the House wouldn't need
his suggestion. The Senate Com
mittee did and took IL from the bill.
II the item goes back in conference,
the country in the judgment of Mr..
Meredith, will have a splendid OPP
portunity to determine the good faith
of a Congress that on the one hand
chops a quarter of a million dollars
from the most vital items which have
TO do with production such as the
market service, fighting of plant and
live stock pests, research work, sc,
and on the other hand leaves in the
bill a quarter OF million of dollars,
"for seeds to send free to prospective
voters in the fall elections"
The Secretary thinks that when the
work Of the Department of Agricul-
ture is curtailed 1t will seriously af-
feet farm production. He calls all
| this sort OF business being penny
wise and pound foolish But Edward
