appeal for economy in the government 

 service, the Department of Agriculture, 

 in submitting its estimates for the next 

 fiscal year, did not include an appro- 

 ]iriation for c.ongrejssional seeds. The 

 House committee on apjiropriations also 

 omitted this provision from the bill, 

 calling attention in its report to the 

 House to the fact that this action was 

 taken in the interest of economy. When 

 the measure came up on the floor of the 

 House, however, it was amended so as 

 to include the appropriation. The sum 

 appropriated, $360,000, is the same as 

 that appropriated for the current fiscal 

 year. 



LAUGHUN VS. SCHILDER. 



Ill the United States court for the 

 .southern district of Ohio the case of 

 Laughlin Seed Co. vs. Schilder Bros, 

 was on trial for a day and a half, re- 

 sulting in a judgment for the plaintiff 

 in the sum of $4,972.15. 



This was a case growing out of a 

 contract to grow onion seeds for de- 

 livery from the 1919 crop. Schilder 

 Bros, sought to cancel prior to the ship- 

 ment of the seeds, refused to accept 

 them and the car of seeds was sold by 

 I.aughlin Seed Co., for Schilder 's ac- 

 count. The defense was allegation of 

 unsatisfactory quality of seeds deliv- 

 ered on 1918 crop contract. 



In the hearing of the case it devel- 

 oped that Laughlin Seed Co., of San 

 Jose, an "independent" grower in Cal- 

 ifornia, has for five years grown onion 

 seeds and shipped subject to accept- 

 ance or return within twenty days with 

 seal unbroken. H. H. Laughlin stated 

 that in all 2,479 bags had been so de- 

 livered and only two bags returned. 

 Tlio form of growing contract used is 

 as follows:

 Onion bulbs for each 5 pounds of seed herein

 stituted an implied warranty and that

 tion for cause. Allowing an offset of 

 $800 on claims set up concerning the 

 deal of 1918, the jury gave judgment 

 for $4,972.15.
