Still Telling Millions The flow of "free seed" letters is beginning again, but indications are mere will be fewer than lust year. For 13 years the U. S. de partment of agriculture has beeu trying to convince lim.UOO.uuO peo ple that it hus no free seeds or plants. Vet each year, as spring aproaches, thousands ot requests pour in tiom farms, suburbs und penthouses. And all the writers of these letters meet disappoint ment. Years ago previous to 1U23 there was an annual appropria tion for tree seeds for congression al distribution through tne depart ment of agriculture. But in 1923 the government ueeided to discon tinue the distribution of this great quantity of seed since it was only commercial garden seed such as could be bought from any good seed house and did not necessarily represent varieties better than those in common use. Not only does the department .of agriculture have no ftee seed, it has no seeds or plants for sale either.
