H. Emme is back at his old position in 

 the retail department of the St. Louis 

 Seed Co., St. Louis, Mo., where he is 

 iinich needed for the coming season. 



Last week the House of Representa- 

 tives passed a bill authorizing a $1,000, 

 000 appropriation for the purchase of seed 

 1,'rain for farmers in drought-stricken 

 areas of the northwest. As previously 

 approved by the Senate, the bill carried 

 u $5,000,000 appropriation, and the dif 

 ference must be compromised before the 

 measure goes to the President. 



Some catalogue houses in Great Britain 

 liave dodged the high postage rates in 

 that country by mailing their printed 

 matter in continental countries, where the 

 depreciated currency reduces the cost of 

 j)rinting, mailing and postage to less than 

 the cost of stamps alone at home. But 

 no one has showed us how to get around 

 the excessive charges under the zone sys- 

 tem here. 



HOUSE PUTS 'EM IN AGAIN: 



By a vote of 145 to 65 the House of 

 Representatives March 9 amended the 

 Agricultural Department appropriation 

 bill so as to include the item of $360,001) 

 for the annual distribution of free seed. 



No provision was made for congres- 

 sional seed in the bill, as reported to the 

 House, the appropriations committee de- 

 claring that it had been dropped from 

 the estimates of the department in the 

 interest of economy and was omitted 

 from the measure for the same reason. 

 The amendment was introduced by Con- 

 gressman Langlcy, of Kentucky, and, 

 desi)ite the opposition of Representative 

 Anderson, of North Dakota, chairman 

 of the appropriations committee, the 

 House voted to include the appropria- 

 tion. Unsuccessful in his effort to de- 

 feat the amendment in its entirety, Con- 

 gressman Anderson sought to have the 

 iippropriation reduced to $240,000, as- 

 .serting that the prices of seed had de- 

 clined in the last year and that that 

 sum would purchase approximately the 

 same amount as was secured for the 

 $360,000 appropriated last year. This 

 move was opposed by Representative 

 Langley, who declared that if there was 

 to be any change in the appropriation, 

 it should not be reduced, but rather in- 

 creased to $45(1,000. T. N. S.
