was taken to task for using up so much 

 perfectly good paper in his reports of 

 his numerous derailments, so the next 

 time the report came in laconically: 

 "Off ag'in, On ag'in, Gone ag'in, 

 Finnigin. " The free seeds appropria- 

 tion might well be reported in the same 

 words. 



In the <irst place there was an effort 

 in committee looking to the omission 

 of the appropriation,- but it failed. 

 Then, when the appropriation bill was 

 presented in the House, an effort was 

 made against the free seeds appropria- 

 tion, possibly a little stronger effort 

 than last year, but still unavailing. 

 Then the bill went to the Senate. Be- 

 for the Senate committee the argument 

 against the appropriation for seeds pro- 

 duced no effect, but when the bill was 

 up for consideration February 27, much 

 to everyone's surprise, the Senate voted 

 to cut out the congressional free seeds, 

 inserting a paragraph which permitted 

 the Secretary of Agriculture to try 

 out new varieties and to distribute them 

 for experimental purposes, but made no 

 provision for the regular free seeds 

 distribution. Then the appropriation 

 bill went to the conference committee. 

 The free seeds were put back in it. 

 Both houses concurred and President 

 Taft signed. So it is "off ag'in, on 

 ag'in, gone ag'in," for another year. 



THE FBEE SEEDS. 



A strong appeal for the discontinu- 

 ance of the congressional free seed dis- 

 tribution was recently made by Kepre- 

 sentative Robert M. Page, of North 

 Carolina, before the House Committee 

 on Agriculture. For several years Mr. 

 Page has opposed on the floor the ap- 

 propriation for the free distribution of 

 ordinary seeds, and he asked the com- 

 mittee to eliminate the appropriation 

 from the bill in the first instance, but 

 the committee did not follow his re- 

 quest. Mr. Page said that every farm- 

 ers' organization in the country com- 

 mended him for his effort last year to 

 lop off the free seed farce. These or- 

 ganizations declared it was simply a 

 waste of public money and that the 

 agriculturists of the country cared 

 nothing for the seeds, as they did not 

 use them, "I have for ten years in 

 Congress opposed this distribution," he
