GOVERNMENT SEEDS
Noisy politicians, uatural born
kickers and habitual grumblers
have for the past fifty years or
more had bo much to 6ay in de
rision of the efforts tbe general
government has been making to
place within the knowledge of
the American farmers the beat
varieties of seed to plant that a
very large proportion of" the
farmers look upon the distribu
tion of seeds by theU S Agricul
tural Department s a useless use
of public money.
What Are the actual facts with
regard to the benefits that to aye
accrued to the farmers of the
United States from the free dis
tribution of seeds t them by the
general government? The Ob
server auswers this question by
extracts from a letter from
James Wilson Secretary of Agn-
culture to the Hon E S Chandler
M. C. from Miss., dated Jan 23
1905 and published in tbe Con
gressional Recoid of Feb 22nd,
1905. -
"The records show that the de
partment of Agriculture has been
helpful in tbe introduction of
many of tbe crops that aie at
present considered the tuoet val
uable in the Uuited States.
Among these crope may be
mentioned the Fultz and other
varieties of wheat; Chintpe Sor-
gum, introduced in- tne early
sixties at a coat of about $2,000
and now worth easily many
raillious annually to the country;
the cow pea, without which tbe
southern farmer would be at a
Ions for the improvement of his
land; the Kaffir corn, the intro
duction of which cost the Depart
ment not more than $5,000 and
of which tbe aunual value at
present is estimated at about
$20,000,000; Macaroni wheat, on
which during the last three
years, we have expended about
$10,000 and which has enabled
the farmers of the arid west to
grow crops worth from $6,000,
000 to $7,000,000 on lands on
which they could not grow tbe
ordinary varieties; Japanese rice,
which has been a large factor in
the phenominal growth of the
rice mduttry in Texas Aud Lou
isiana, the Acreage devoted to
which has increased from 210,-
396 acres in 1893 to a total of
610,700 acres in 1904, raising
the value of the land from be
tween a dollar and a dollar and
a half per acre to from thirty
five to fifty dollars per acre, and
the output has been increased
from 115,000,000 pounds in
1898 to 65U.UUU.UUU pounds in
1904."
From the data given in the
Utter it is shown that the cost of
all the seed and plant, introduc
tion by the Department of Agri-
culture from IS52to 1905 foots
up $4,447,402 08 and theestimaU
ed annual value to day or a le
of the varieties introduced by
the Agricultural Department is
far in excess of tlOO.UOU.UUU,
These figures show thst the ex
penditure of public money for
seeds and plants for free distri
bution among the farmers has
been a most profftable invest-
met, in the past.
