Of what use to the government has been the vast amount spent in purchasing and distributing seeds? Mas there been any return of improved varieties to encourage the Department? On the other hand has there not been, year after year an increasing demand for still larger supplies from which sena tors and rt present at ives, by distri buting. may let their friends know they are not forgot ton! No doubt the Secretary, who is a practical agriculturist, sees the drift and feels that it is all out-go and no in-come. We an* eminently an agricultural people to whom manufacturing, mining, commerce and the arts are incidental. The department then, that overlooks this great interest of growing people, should show by its actions that it grasps the subject and is looking ahead for what is of real value. Wc may he doing violence to opin ions of some of our patrons who per haps are looking forward for more seeds the coming spring, still we can not hut agree with the recommenda tion of the Seeretary.endorsed by the President, that a hall he called to allow us time to take our hearings. Seeds are plentiful and cheap and can readily hi* secured anywhere within the states o? territories. Me do need lo know what to plant, what varieties suit eertnin sections and soils; how best to grow and harvest and market. This the Secretary has been preparing to do for us. Partic ularly in the South do we need more of the grasses and forage crops. We ought practically to he made ac quainted wtih their value, yea their necessity. Our fields of cotton and corn, when properly cultivated present hare surfaces t o bleaching sun and winds, and leaching, washing rains. No wonder that our streams have become sluggish from the cream of our fields being transfered to their beds, destroying thereby the very uses for which God gave them. I'nless we turn our attention more to the grasses our farms will dete riorate ami we with them. In this direction the Secretary is trying to open our eyes. FROM WASHINGTON.
