cular by you and that you give us your views 

 at yonr earliest opportunity. 



I'Yoni these replies, and with your support, 

 pnioed by the wishes of the majority of tin- 

 DJcmbers of the seed trade, it is the iuteutinu 

 of our clients to formu'jto and inaujjrurate a-.i 

 active plan of campaign with a view to eliuii. 

 natiug the item for the free distribution from 

 the agrienlturii! appropriation bill at the en- 

 suing session of congress. To be effective this 

 work must be begun at the earliest pos.sibIe ni ■- 

 uient: therefore a speedy repl.v from you will 

 be of material assistance in determining ho\\- 

 far our clients will go in this matter. I'lcasc 

 let us hear from you at once. 



In yir. Smith 's circular he gives fig- 

 ures to shoTv that in 1S96 the govern- 

 ment seed shop sent out $75,000 worth 

 of seeds while in 1004 $290,000 is to be 

 expended. He states that in 1901, under 

 contract, the cost was: $4.4.5 per thousand 

 packets, while this season, cheaper seeds 

 and less quantities to the packet put up 

 under government management will cost 

 $6 per thousand packets. There is much 

 other information of like character fa- 

 miliar to everyone who has watched the 

 government seed distribution, but one 

 statement which may be news to many is 

 that ' ' several firms, who, because of their 

 prominence in the trade, and the positions 

 occupied by their members on various 

 committees of the seedsmen 's organiza- 

 tions, might naturally be expected to 

 aid the movement against the congres- 

 sional distribution, are selling to the de- 

 partment large quantities of 'new and 

 improved ' varieties of seeds which are 

 distributed by the department as 'novel- 

 ties and specialties. ' As each package 

 of such ' novelties and specialties ' con- 

 tains a circular giving the name of the 

 firm supplying the seeds, they are thus 

 given tremendous advertising by the de- 

 partment at the expense of the public 

 purse.
