plentiful as now, coupled with which is 

 the important fact that market growers 

 have reduced their acreage because of 

 labor shortage. 



There is a good demand now for late 

 sowing field seeds, including rape and 

 millet, and Thomas J. E. Kemp, manager 

 of the Illinois Seed Co., Chicago, expects 

 that demand to increase during the next 

 few wei^ks. 



HOUSE WANTS FREE SEEDS. 



The House of Eepresentatives re- 

 fused May 24 to eliminate from thff" 

 agricultural appropriation bill $229,000 

 for the distribution of free seeds. The 

 vote was 204 to 107. The bill thereupon 

 went back to conference, since the 

 Senate had previously instructed its 

 conferees not to accept the free seed 

 item. 



In the dispute which followed, a com- 

 promise was offered the House May 27 

 by the Senate, which voted, 39 to 23, to 

 provide $75,000 for such distribution 

 by the Department of Agriculture in 

 lieu of the House appropriation for free 

 seed gifts by members of Congress. 

 During the debate the seed gifts were 

 denounced as "congressional graft" 

 and "a cheap, demagogic way of ap- 

 pealing to the people." 



A VEGETABLE GOLD BRICK. 



Savage disciples of voodoo worship 

 in the American tropics ascribe super- 

 natural powers to the jack bean. Those 

 tribesmen plant a row of the seed 

 around their rude gardens in the belief 

 that the plant will punish trespassers. 

 This custom wos doubtless brought by 

 negro slaves from Africa, where the 

 similar sword or fetich bean is thus 

 worsiiipcd. But the bureau of plant 

 industry of the United States Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture fails to support 

 this weird belief concerning the bonn. 

 Nor do these scientists find much else 

 to reconiniond this plant stranger from 

 the West Indies. 



The jack ])can, it appears from abun- 

 dant experiments, is a prolific plant. 

 It is not unusual for the seeds in their 

 14-inch pods of a jack-bean plant to
