or from the congressman whose name 

 is on the package!" asked Eepresenta- 

 tive Flatt, of New York. Mr. Young 

 said the receipt of a small package of 

 seeds does not excite a man much. 

 Seeds would not inspire a greater devo- 

 tion to his country. On the contrary, 

 the thoughtful citizen is apt to con- 

 sider it an unnecessary and unwise ex- 

 penditure. 



Representative La FoUette asked if 

 the distribution by congressmen was 

 not politically a liability instead of an 

 asset? Young said it was a liability. 

 Mr. Young said an increasing number 

 of men in his district were considering 

 the distribution either a waste of 

 money or a senseless proceeding viewed 

 from the standpoint of its being a sub- 

 stantial aid to agriculture. He said 

 he would vote against the item in the 

 bill carrying any appropriation for the 

 free seed distribution but would vote 

 for the distribution of new and rare 

 seeds. "It is time to lay hands on 

 this venerable impostor, this miserable 

 farce and costly humbug," said Mr. 

 Young in closing. 



Representative Page, of North Caro- 

 lina, moved to strike out the appropria- 

 tion, but the motion was lost, 29 to 66.

BIGK^EST SPINACH FLANTEB. 



The first shipment of the season of 

 spinach from the farm of the Walker 

 Properties Association, of Austin, Tex., 

 was started north early in January and 

 the event was fittingly celebrated with 

 a banquet. The shipment consisted of 

 a full carload and was valued at 

 $1,200. This car was the first of 

 fully 200 which it is expected will be 

 sent during the season, as compared 

 with 107 carloads last season. Within 

 a week two and three carloads will go 

 out in a shipment. The Walker spinach 

 farm is the largest of its kind in the 

 coXintry and its product finds a ready 

 market in northern cities. The present 

 price is from $4 to $7 a barrel. For the 

 coming year over 5,000,000 cans of 

 spinach have already been contracted 

 for from the Walker packing plant.
