Somebody in the House Commit-
tee on Agriculture must have a
grudge against the seed men

for information from the House the
other day and it resulted in the re-
that a large number of the
seed firms, not all of them it may be
said for the reputation of the

but publish the names of the
ms engaged in the business.
not a very welcome task
the Department- It was the sort
of publicity that would make
as well as friends and the two
bulletins that were published were
cut down to the least possible com-
pass and were not given out to the
newspaper men at all. Neither
would the information sent to Con
have been given out if the de
could have helped it Hut
there was a leak in the committee
and the result was that the whole of
the correspondence has gotten into
print. There are hundreds of names
of supposedly reputable firms. The
adulteration of the samples runs
the way from a few per cent, to US
per cent. The report shows also
that tons of cheap worthless seeds
are imported annually from Ger-
many, Canada and the Argentine for
the solo purpose of being mixed
with the native grass seed being
s II as the pure product. As Ken-
blue grass seed costs cents
a pound and the Canada grass
inly o cents, there is profit in the
transaction. The bur clover seed
used to adulterate alfalfa is a
product of South American woo
combing. The department even
found small wire teeth of the card-
machines in the samples, taking
no Sherlock Holmes to tell where the
seed had come from. Red clover
and orchard grass were also included
in the report. Out of samples
f the latter examined, there were
adulterated. Of the red clover,
all the samples had been mixed with
seed of yellow trefoil. Of this
there were imported in one year
pounds and was of no use
as an adulterant. Sometimes
the foreign seed had been sterilized
they were mixed with the
seeds, This recalls the case
of a brilliant contractor in the old

hear this story, but it is true. The
department's investigation so far has
included only the four forage plants
named, but the law requires all
of commercial seeds to he

of the country will keep up the
either there will boa lot more
names firms go on the depart-
in black list or there will a
regeneration in the seed business
and some rascals driven
out of business. It be said
that any one interested can get the
names of the offending by
writing to the Department. This
will throw a little extra work on the
officials, but that is what they are
paid for.
An interesting hearing has been
going on before the House Commit-
tee on Agriculture anent the trans-
of live cattle by the
roads. The stock shippers are
clamoring for extension of the
time that cattle may be carried

The Humane Society which is

People who are old enough to
be reminiscent remember the
day when the cotton growers
thought they were ruined be-
cause cotton went down to
cents a pound. In those days it
cost a pile of money to run a
plantation, for everything was
high and we doubt whether there
was as much clear in
cotton as there is today. Old
folks remember when bag-
and ties on cotton cost a
little fortune and nearly every
other expense in producing cot
ton in those days was proper
high.
It is true that the cotton grow-
of those days keep on
making it as the price went
and the time was when
the farmers planted all cotton
and depended on buying their
provisions and even the corn and
hay which they fed to their stock.
They had all their eggs in one
old cotton basket
and disaster overtook the
cultural industry in the South-
There is no telling how greatly
the agricultural industry in the
South was retarded by the
thinking policy, in
those days, when the people
were engaged in a fierce struggle
to overcome the effects of war.
Our cotton growers should
never go back into the old rut.
Diversified crops and reduced
acreage in cotton will keep our
farmers from on the
again. There have been
tough days with the cotton grow
and it will be their fault if
they again go around with a
mortgage begging somebody to
them from year to year
