 II80 for tlicm. I would just as soon 

 have boiiKht, oven when 1 roitid use 

 Chom. Do nut blann' the roi'ipionts of 

 the set'ds- blame the sendern. It Is 

 not the eliunor of the poimlace which 

 k(H>i>8 up the distribution. 



I have, to be sure, secured from the 

 IK'partiueiit of Agriculture seeds and 

 samples, such as the dasheen, Tansier 

 pea. and so forth, of new plants the 

 I)eparlnient was testing out for their 

 value in various parts of the country, 

 to try under my conditions here, and 

 have reported in rej;ard to them: but 

 that, I take it, is a different matter. 

 Very respectfully, 



Carthage, Mo. B. C. Auten.
