Congressman Hull, of Iowa, sent a
franked envelope of free seeds to a con
stituent, on thecorner of which were the
usual words, " Penalty for privrte use
$:i00.” A few days later be received a
letter which read :
“ I don’t know what to do about those
garden seeds you sent me. I notice it is
$.100 fine for private use. 1 don't want
to use them for public. 1 want to plant
them in my private garden. I can’t
afford to pay $J00 for the privilege.
Won’t you see if you can fix it so 1 can
use them privately? I am a law-abid

any crim e.”
The usual penalty for planting “ free”
seeds from the government is a bum
crop.
