GONE-AND MAY
THEY NEVER RETURN

The backyard gardner and the
dirt" farmer will draw sigh Of
relief at the news that Congress
will discontinue the free CD dis
tribution Of seeds, one of Congress-
traditional handouts.
Free government seed will no
longer clutter the mails "and one
of Congress- pet whimsicalities
has ended" says the Atlanta Jour
nal, with a saving Of upwards of
a million dollars a year-counting
expenses of posting and distribu-
tion-with the refusal to appro-
pirate the customary 100000 for
free Seeds" that traditional per-
quisite Of the Congressman with
large rural constituency.
I'm the beginning, the distribu-
ton of seeds probably was useful
in an experimental way. But for
thirty or forty years the seeds,
most of them, have fallen on bar
Een ground, or rather no ground
at all, unless to be picked up CRATE
fully by interchangeable chickens.
Practically the only interest re-
naming in the Congressional free
seeds was the curiosity to see what
would spring up from them, if any
thing.
In the course of the debate
over the appropriation, it was testi-
fed by Senators that all too often
radish seeds developed powerful
onions, while Government carrot
seeds ended in parsley. Senator
Capper, Of Kansas, who ought to
know, insisted that the farmers
didn't want the thing, and the
farmers themselves have petition
cd more than one Congress to cut
off the flood.
But the traditional handout did
not pass unwept or unsung. Sem
ator Helm, Of Alabama, declaim-
ed in his best oratorical vein
against the "despots of the Bud
get Bureau"
'"Continue this item, for seed
distribution" he cried, land gard
ems will spring up as if by magic
and choice vegetables basking in
the sun and reveling in the rain
will rise up and cali you blessed"
I'm spite Of which eloquence
and promise of vegetable Iauda-
ton, the Senate knocked the an
preparation in the head, and an
amusing little joke on the tax
payers was written off the books,
