otherwise be and prevents the appropria- 

 tion of money for really valuable ob- 

 jects. In every conceivable way the gov- 

 ernment loses by this appropriation and 

 the largest gainers are the professional 

 dealers in seeds who are so fortunate as 

 to be favored by government con- 

 tracts. ' ' 



The Department some weeks ago made 

 its contracts with ' ' the largest gain- 

 ers" for seeds for the 1908 distribu- 

 tion, subject to the usual provision re- 

 garding the action of congress in mak- 

 ing the appropriation. 



CANNERS' CONVENTION. 



The national convention of Fruit and 

 Vegetable Packers and Allied Associa- 

 tions at Buffalo February, 11-16, inclu- 

 sive, promises to be by a considerable 

 margin the largest gathering of the as- 

 sociations since the alliance commenced 

 holding joint sessions. It is quite prob- 

 able that as many as 2,000 delegates may 

 be in attendance and the committee in 

 charge of arrangements is planning an 

 unusually elaborate program of events, 

 not only in the way of entertainment, but 

 in the value of the subjects to be dis- 

 cussed. The pure food law is the most 

 important subject on which the packers 

 want light, and Dr. Wiley, of the U. S. 

 Department of Agriculture, the pure- 

 food expert, will be the star speaker. 



The seedsmen who supply canners' 

 stocks will be on hand in full force.
