HALL OF RECORDS NEEDED.
Nation Without Proper Building for
Historical Documents

The most important chronicles Of
some ancient nations have come down
to present generations engraved on
porphyry and marble The United
States. however, having existed Who'll
ly, in an "age of paper" has all it's
most precious historical records in
tho form of paper documents.
which can easily be destroyed by fire
and injured by dampness, extreme
dryness or rough handling.
A recent fire which destroyed ire
placeable records in the census bu-
reau at Washington and an almost
simultaneous fire in the State capitol
of West Virginia which practically
wiped out the archives of that state
have reinforced the argument of
those urging that Il fireproof hall Of
records be built in Washington so
the Federal governments priceless
papers may be kept in safety. What
some of the most important and best
known of these documents are and
where they are kept Is told in the
following bulletin issued by the Ma
tional Geographic society:
while the constitution is the most
important document possessed by the
United States. the declaration of in
dependence comes first among our
great state papers in point of time
and probably in the hearts of the
American people. The original Of
the challenge to tyranny which. like
the shot fired at Lexington, has been
heard round the world and has
helped to mould monarchies and col
onies into republics. is in the hands
of the department of state and is
kept in a steel case in the state, war
and navy building. which adjoins the
White House on the west. The
original of the constitution Is locked
in the same case. which may there
fore be considered the steel arkof the
covenant of the government of the
United States.
'Washington's farewell address
may be fairly considered one Of the
greatest papers produced in the 145
years of the republics Independence.
This document is not owned by the
Federal government. but is kept in
the New York Public library.
THE next paper to stand out as n
milepost in the shaping of a national
policy is the message to Congress by
President Monroe proclaiming the
Monroe doctrine. The original mes
sage is in the files of the senate in
the capitol building at Washington.
THE Gettysburg address Of Lincoln
is in the Library of Congress at
Washington. Lincoln's emancipation
proclamation is in the library Of the
state department in Washington, and
there too are all the treaties entered
into by the United States, from that
OF 1873 with the French and that of
1888 which closed the Revolution.
down to the present. Among these
perhaps the most interesting are
those which have contributed to the
great territorial growth OF the coun-
try.
There is the treaty of 1903 with
France which arranged for what is
probably the greatest real estate
deal In history-the Louisiana pur-
chase. There is the treaty with Spain
which added Florida to the new re-
public. and the incompleted treaty
with the Independent Republic OF
Texas which led to the only instance

THE VALUE OF GOOD. SEED.
written for The Times.)

IOT lne I1meS.)
Many farmers are in the habit OF
purchasing their seed from neighbors
or from any other source except ex-
pert seed breeders. 1t is true that
seed OF this kind is much cheaper,
tnan the purebred seed bought from
those engaged in seed breeding and
one may be easily deceived by think
ing he Is saving money in this man.
ner.
Let us consider the facts in both
cases. Every seed contains in it the
possibilities of a young plant. 1t is
sclfevident that the larger and more
perfect the seed the greater are the
possibilities OF the young plant. 1t
IL not best to purchase seed at ram
dom for a number Of reasons: First
the history Of the seed Is seldom
known: second. the seed may be of
mixed varieties. and seed of any va
riety has tendency to run out in a
few years unless special care in Sc
lection Is made. Frequently plant
diseases are carried over in the seed.
The average farmer pays little atten-
tion to the selection of seed free from
disease, whereas the specialist does.
Therefore 1t stands to reason that
when one Is buying seed that may
apparently be all right ne incurs a
great risk.
The purpose OF this article is not
to boost the business of the seed
bl eeders. but to give farmers candid
facts. The seed breeder selects his
seed after much careful thought and
study. He chooses seed from plants
In the field that are true to the va
to get early varieties with heavy
riety in every respect He also tries
yields. Such seeds are always uni
fern in size and are free from insect
injuries or plant diseases.
There Is one more important
point that must be borne in mind
that Is. to purchase seed OF a variety
suitable to the climate. and 1t Is al
ways best to get such seed from the
nearest plant breeder in good repute.
Since purebred seed OF any variety
have a tendency to run out In a few
years time 1t is best for the farmer
to purchase fresh seed from the plant
breeder every other year. r. MS.
