ing the problems peculiar to the can- 

 ner of tomatoes, as against the trou- 

 bles of canners of other products. 



The National Canners ' Association has 

 been working for more than a year to- 

 ward the classification of the indus- 

 try under its various heads, with all 

 the various branches under the guid- 

 ance or authority of the national body. 

 There are now formed in the associa- 

 tion the milk canners' branch, the sar- 

 dine canners' branch, the salmon can- 

 ners' branch, the pea canners' branch, 

 and then the tomato canners' branch, 

 the greatest, numerically, of all. The 

 next step was the formation of the 

 corn canners' branch, and the West- 

 ern Canners' Association may merge its 

 association into this branch. 



DECRIES SEED DISTRIBUTION. 



When the bids for the government 

 seed contracts were opened at Wash- 

 ington last week, the officials read a 

 letter from A. T. Cook, of Hyde Park, 

 N. Y., which was received in place of 

 his bid. In it Mr. Cook declared that 

 the seed business was injured by the 

 Department of Agriculture's distribu- 

 tion, and that he would not be a party 

 to it. He described the distribution as 

 a "cheap method of bribing the vot- 

 ers." Laughter was the only imme- 

 diate result of the letter; the general 

 expression of such opinions, however, is 

 what is bringing about the sure, if slow, 

 change of sentiment with regard to this 

 practice. 



FOR STANDARD WEIGHT BUSHEL.

 weights among the various states. Rep- 

 resentative Dillon has introduced in
