any more complicated or expensive than 

 is at present the case. Every town on 

 the mailing list would have marlced on 

 it the zone nuirber. This number could 

 be transferred to the order as it was 

 ■entered. By the use of dial scales simi- 

 lar to those ut'cd in the postoffice, the 

 exact amount of postage could be de- 

 termined as readily as is at present the 

 case, and we believe that greater ac- 

 curacy would result. It is, of course, 

 [possible that to some points and on 

 •certain weight packages the express 

 would be cheaper, but as a large pro- 

 jportion of the customers with whom the 

 Lseed trade has to deal are located on 

 rural routes and inland postoffices, the 

 mails afford a much more convenient 

 means of delivery. We believe, also, 

 that the day is not far distant when 

 the number of zones will be decreased, 

 with a further advantage to those using 

 the mails. We fail to see any great 

 disadvantage in including seeds in the 

 parcel post, and the benefits are many." 



FREE SEEDS TO CONTINUE? 



It will be a matter of no great sur- 

 prise to most seedsmen that the agri- 

 cultural appropriation bill, just reported 

 from committee, contains the usual ap- 

 propriation for the congressional free 

 seed distribution. The recommendation 

 of the Secretary of Agriculture, that 

 the free seed distribution be <liscontiii- 

 ued, was ignored. 



The appropriation for the congres- 

 sional distribution, however, is cut to 

 $257,000. The committee report on the 

 subject is as follows: 



I'liicliasc and distribution of valualik- seeds: 

 Tor imrcliase, pro|mgation, testing and cougres- 

 .sional distribution of valuable seeds, bulbs, trees, 

 slinilis. vines, cuttings and plants; all necessary 

 ottice fixtures and supplies, fuel, transportation, 

 paper, twine, gum, postal cards, gas, electric 

 current, rent outside of tbe District of Columbia, 

 official traveling expenses, and all necessary 

 material and repairs for putting up and dis 

 tribiiting the same; for repairs and the employ- 

 ment of local and special agents, clerks, assist- 

 ants and other labor required. In the city of 

 Waslilngton and elsewhere, $2.57,000. And the 

 Secretary of Agriculture Is hereby directed to 

 expend the said sum, as nearly as practicable. 

 In tlie purchase, testing and distribution of such 

 valuable seeds, bulbs, shrubs, vines, cuttings and 

 plants, the best he can obtain at public or private 

 sale, and such as shall be suitable for the re- 

 spective localities to which the same are to be 

 apiwrtloned, and In which same are to be dis- 

 tributed as hereinafter stated, and such seeds 

 80 purchased shall include a variety of vegetable 

 and flower seeds suitable for planting and culture 

 In the various sections of the United States: 

 I'rovlded. That the Secretary of Agriculture, 

 after due advertisement and on competitive bids.

 of the United States. An equal proportion of
