The Adulterated Seeds Farce. 



Next to the free seed humbug, the 

 seed purity campaign of the Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture is looked upon by 

 the initiated as one of the most amus- 

 ing farces of the age. According to 

 the latest bulletin there could be found 

 over all this broad land, with its 

 eighty millions of inhabitants only 

 three samples of red clover adulter- 

 ated, two of them in Massachusetts 

 and one in Indiana. Any seedsman in 

 a populous center could And worse 

 than that in half an hour's walk. Be- 

 sides, the buyer is not taken in. If he 

 wants stuff cheap, he may be sure he 

 will get cheap stuff — poorly cleaned 

 and not very pure. As long as farmers 

 have weeds in their fields so long will 

 there be weeds among the seeds of 

 our cereals, grasses, and clovers. The 

 amount of sifting and winnowing done 

 by the seedsman will be determined by 

 his customers. He is going to give 

 them what they want, be it re-cleaned, 

 very clean, clean, not so clean, pretty 

 good, or trash — and charge according- 

 ly; and no one is to blame but the 

 farmers themselves. There's nothing 

 the matter with your seedsmen, Uncle 

 Sam. It's your farmers you want to 

 •'go for!" Educate them to appreciate 

 good goods and avoid cheap trash, and 

 the latter will quickly disappear from 

 the market. You will never do it by 

 pnblishing a few seedsmen's names. 

 "With hov.- little wisdom are we gov- 

 erned," sighed the old sages. We are 

 not only that, but also governed too 

 much and in the wrong places. It 

 ought to he said in this connection, 

 however, that it is Congress, and not 

 .James Wilson, that is responsible for 

 the present farce.

Free Seeds. 



For the first time since free seed 

 distribution was inflicted on the seeds- 

 men of this country, they are taking 

 practical steps to put a stop to it. An 

 appeal is to be made to the President 

 to recommend its discontinuance in his 

 annual message to Congress. The 

 seedsmen claim that the advoca.tes of 

 this practice have not a leg to stand 

 on, and that as at present conducted 

 there are no grounds of public neces- 

 sity or public morals that can be urged 

 for its continuance. 



During Secretary Morton's adminis- 

 tration of the Department of Agricul- 

 ture the annual distribution was about 

 12,000,000 to 14,000,000 packets, while 

 for the past three or four years it ha-s 

 been about 40,000,000. Under the pres- 

 ent system of free seed distribution 

 about 1,000,000 packets are retained by 

 the Secretary of Agriculture to be sent 

 out hy the Department, and all the 

 balance is apportioned among the 

 Congressmen and Senators for distri- 

 bution under their franks. The seeds- 

 men feel that they can certainly make 

 a strong case, and that if properly pre- 

 sented to the President his keen sense 

 of justice and desire to give every one 

 a "square deal" can be relied upon to 

 secure his active co-operation for init- 

 ting an end to this injustice to their 



industry. . 



Late yesterday afternoon the indebt- 

 edness of the Whitney-Eckstein Seed 

 Company, about $45,000, was paid to 

 the Citizens' Bank by Nathan Eck- 

 stein, who negotiated the loans with 

 Cashier Henry J. Block, who worried

 they were not to be made good. 



The money paid was in settlement of 

 the entire indebtedness of the firm to 

 the bank. The bank will not lose a 

 dollar through the transaction, and in 

 view of the developments of yesterday 

 the bank offlcials say that Cashier 

 Block's suicide must have been the re- 

 sult of a temporarily unbalanced mind. 

 In the loans made to the Ecksteins 

 there was nothing criminal and the 

 worst that can be said of him is that 

 he was indiscreet in accepting paper 

 from a bosom friend whom he trusted 

 implicitly without investigating to see 

 if it was good. The Ecksteins had 

 dealt with the bank for a year or more 

 and their paper had never been ques- 

 tioned. 



An examination of the late cashier's 

 books shows that everything is in per- 

 fect shape and not one dishonest act 

 was disclosed by the investigation. —
