isfactory lines. Within the last dec- 

 ade, ever since the work has been 

 handled exclusively by the Bureau of 

 Plant Industry, more than 7,000 tons of 

 seed have been secured, tested in the 

 laboratory and in the field, assembled 

 and distributed. 



"Early in the work it was de- 

 termined to conduct it in such a way 

 that all the seed secured and sent out 

 should be of high quality. It was de- 

 termined, furthermore, to eliminate 

 costly practices of hand work and to 

 introduce, wherever practicable, mod- 

 ern mechanical appliances for facilitate 

 ing operations. 



' ' Notwithstanding the fact that the 

 quantity of seeds secured and dis- 

 tributed has nearly doubled in the past 

 ten years, the actual cost of handling 

 the distribution is less now than it wa& 

 ten years ago. The funds saved by 

 good business management have gone 

 toward improving the quality and 

 quantity of the seed and have enabled 

 the department to take up a number 

 of special lines which have resulted in 

 much good. 



"Special features of seed distribu- 

 tion have been maintained, such as 

 securing and distributing types of cot- 

 ton better adapted to certain conditions 

 in the south. Many of these types have 

 been developed through breeding and 

 selection. The extensive propagation 

 of new types of citrus fruits adapted 

 to home use has also been followed. 

 Large numbers of citranges developed 

 by the plant breeders of the depart- 

 ment have been propagated and sent 

 out under congressional distribution. 

 Large quantities of special forage-crop 

 seeds have been distributed in all parts 

 of the country. 



"There is just now being put into 

 effect a plan for the distribution of 

 special seeds adapted to dry-farming 

 conditions. The future success of dry 

 farming in the semiarid districts will 

 depend in large measure on the adapta- 

 tion of suitable crops for these districts. 

 An appropriation was made for this 

 purpose at the last session of Congress, 

 and special types of sorghums, wheats, 

 oats, barleys, grasses and legumes of 

 various kinds will be distributed the 

 coming year throughout the entire 

 semiarid region. 



"In connection with the congres- 

 sional vegetable and flower seeds there 

 has been a steady improvement in the 

 quality distributed, and that this has 

 been appreciated is shown by the in- 

 creased demand for them. That part 

 of the congressional seed distribution
