seeds to the country papers, sending 

 each one in the district one or more 

 mailsacks of packets, letting them an- 

 nounce that all callers were welcome as 

 long as the supply lasted. Congress- 

 man E. S. Holliday, of Indiana, sent 

 seeds in this way to the Eockville Re- 

 publican. The editor says: 



Contrary to expectations, the free government 

 garden seeds went like the proverbial "hot 

 cakes." Announcement was made of their dis- 

 tribution, on Wednesday. By 4 o'clock of the 

 succeeding Saturday the supply was exhausted, 

 much to our surprise and regret, too, for there 

 were many other calls. 



The editor wrote the congressman for 

 a second supply and was told that his 

 quota was exhausted, but that the con- 

 gressman would take pleasure in trying 

 to get an extra allowance from the De- 

 partment of Agriculture and would 

 forward promptly if secured. "Where- 

 upon the editor printed this paragraph: 



If Mr. Holliday Is successful In securing an- 

 other allowance we will at once mall a pack- 

 age to the addresses on hand. It was a sur- 

 prise to learn how popular the seed distribution 

 appears to be.
