plaining the curtailment of the depart- 

 ment's activities: 



"Notwithstanding the recommenda- 

 tion of the department that it be elimi- 

 nated, the item of $239,000 for congres- 

 -sional seed distribution has been in- 

 cluded in the appropriation bill. A 

 special letter was sent, February 26, 

 1920, to the chairman of the Senate com- 

 mittee on agriculture and forestry, 

 strongly urging that the appropriation 

 for free seed distribution, which has 

 been carried in the bill for many years, 

 be discontinued and that the funds thus 

 saved be used for the prosecution of 

 urgently important investigational work 

 on problems of crop production. The 

 Senate committee adopted the depart- 

 ment's recommendation and its action 

 was confirmed by the Senate. The con- 

 ferees, at first, were unable to reach an 

 agreement on the matter and so re- 

 ported to both Houses of Congress. It 

 was then considered by the House and 

 the House conferees were instructed to 

 insist on the retention of the item in the 

 bill. The question was reconsidered by 

 the conferees, but they were unable to 

 agree and again reported a disagree- 

 ment. The House again insisted on the 

 inclusion of the appropriation in the bill. 

 At this stage the Senate suggested, as 

 a compromise, the reduction in amount 

 to $75,000. 



"The House, however, refused to ac- 

 cept the proposal, and the Senate 

 finally receded from its amendment 

 striking the item from the bill. The 

 congressional seed distribution, there- 

 fore, carrying an appropriation of $239,- 

 000, will be continued during the next 

 fiscal year." 



SOUTHERN ASSOCIATION. 



Meets in Florida. 



The Southern Seedsmen's Association 

 held its second annual convention at 

 Jacksonville, Fla., June 7 to 9. The 

 value of the morning business sessions 

 was decidedly increased by the inter- 

 spersed afternoons of outdoor recrea- 

 tion June 7 and 8. 



The convention opened with the ad- 

 dress of welcome delivered by Hon. 

 John Martin, mayor of Jacksonville, to 

 whose remarks Dick O'Bannon, Clare- 

 more, Okla., second vice-president of 

 the association, replied. Then followed 

 the president's address, by E. A. Martin, 

 of Jacksonville, and the secretary- 

 treasurer's report, by Frank S. Love, 

 of Montgomery, Ala., both the address 

 and the report being full of encourage- 

 ment zor the futuro, based on the 

 achievements of the past year. Mon- 

 day morning's session closed with an 

 instructive address on "The Advantage 

 of Illustrations in Catalogues" by L. I
