have a distinct gain. Also, the new 

 rate is more favorable than the general 

 parcel post rate in that it allows eight 

 ounces of seeds to be sent at the flat 

 rate, whereas the flat rate on general 

 merchandise applies only up to four 

 ounces. 



It has been said that the seed trade 

 is without political influence, but the 

 seed trade certainly has reason to con- 

 gratulate itself, and especially to con- 

 gratulate the gentlemen who led the 

 fight, on the prompt action taken to 

 undo the damage that was caused by 

 the hasty amendment to the postoffice 

 appropriation bill. For many years 

 seeds and plants have enjoyed a rate 

 of postage more favorable than the 

 rates on general merchandise. Having 

 lost this rate through the operation 

 of the new law, many large users of 

 the mails thought it doubtful if the 

 seed and plant trades ever again would 

 get special consideration. They not 

 only got it, but they got it quickly. 

 The unfavorable rates had been in ef- 

 fect just thirty-six days up to the time 

 the restorative measure went to the 

 President for his signature. 



SENATE MAY KILL FREE SEEDS.

CANNEES' CONVENTION PLANS. 



William C. Langbridge, of Jerome B, 

 Rice Seed Co., Cambridge, N. Y., was 

 in Chicago last week in his capacity 

 as president of the Canning Machinery 

 and Supplies Association, to hold a con- 

 ference with the officers of other cau- 

 ners' organizations to consider the 

 holding of the next national conven- 

 tion of the canning and allied indus- 

 tries. 



Reservation covering five or six 

 weeks had been made on a building in 

 San Francisco in which to hold the 

 machinery and supplies exhibit. This 

 was reduced to the period from March 

 11 to March 22, as, if the convention 

 goes to San Francisco, it is practically 

 certain to be held within those dates. 

 Final decision as to what city will get 

 the convention will be reached at the 

 meeting of the executive committee of 

 the National Canners' Association at 

 Washington, D. C, May 13. 



FEAR MAINE SEED POTATOES. 



Secretary of Agriculture Houston has 

 issued a statement saying that on ac- 

 count of the recent discovery of viola- 

 tions of the Maine quarantine regula- 

 tions all purchasers of Maine seed po- 

 tatoes are warned to have their stock 

 examined by the state expert if possible 

 before planting. Unscrupulous shippers, 

 it is learned, have been sending dis- 

 eased potatoes to New York, Boston and 

 other points, where certifi«aterf%f in- 

 spection have been fraudulently at- 

 tached to the bags. The governor and 

 secretary of agriculture of Maine and
