GREAT WASTE
OF FREE SEED
The Dealers Send Out Circulais
Calling Attention to Abuses
by Congress.
The Tlmos-Dlspatch Bureau,
Colorado Building,
Fourteenth and ? Streets, N. W?
Washington, D. C? Doc. 5, 1003.
Tho dealers in seeds, wholesale and ro?
tali, who aro Interested In tho suppres?
sion of tho congressional freo ttocd dis?
tribution, havo sent out circulars to the
entlro seed trado calling attention to tho
rapid growth of tho distribution and the
eenndals which havo tainted It In years
pust. It is not charged that since the
Department of Agrlculluro undortook to
make tho distribution Itself that Inferior
eccds havo boon distributed, but It is
alleged that a great deal of Boed has
Ijceti bought by the Department which
provotl to ho Infested by bugs and worms,
und hud to be destroyed.
Tho circular presents an Interesting
array of fact? concerning tho distribu?
tion. It states that "In 1D00, 14,7??,9??
Iiuckot? wore sent out, In 1D0-I It Is pro?
posed to Bond out 15,000,000 packets, an
Increase of over 300 per cent. In five
years. In 1901, $4.45 per thousand packets
?wero paid, under contract. This season,
cheaper scodH and loss quantities to the
puckot under Government management
will cost $0.0? per thousand packet?.
"In l?t>0, ?7&.000000 was appropriated for
' free seeds. Over $2(0.000.00 will bo spent
for the same purposo tit the oiid of. the
present lisciti year, 1901, What will the'
appropriation be in 10037 At the present
rato of Increase, not less than thrco
quarters! of a million dollurs!" ,
A resumo of tho distribution from 1890
down to the present time Is given, In
which the circular states thut the last
distribution covered a lurgor range of
cheap varilles of seeds,.than had ever be?
fore been distributed. The Department
not being able to buy as cheaply nnd to
work as economically as tho secdman, It
was forced to uso cheaper classes of
?cods In order ,to strotch the appropria?
tion so as to provide tho number of pack?
ets to which senators and members ot
the House had been accustomed In pre?
vious years. To the same end, It Is ?aid,
the packets wore llghtonod. To the sumo
end the circular notes that a newspaper
recently published on article stating that
many million packet? of seeds, repre?
senting a valuation of about $30,000, left
over from tho spring distribution, had
just been burned In the furnaces of the
Department of Agriculture because it
was discovered they wero full of bugs
and worms.
After pointing out that several firms,
?who are represented on the various com
rr.iUees of the American Seed Trado As?
sociation and the Wholesale Seedmen's
League and who are charged with tho
duty of securing a suppression of tho
freo seed distribution, are furnishing
?.ecus to tho .Department and are thus
Inclined to view tho distribution as a
"good thing," the circular adds:
"On the other hand, there Is every
reason to believe that should tho real
facts as known by. the trade be brought
tc the attention of the public and the
general worthlosness of the system and
gross wasteful expenditure of public
money bo properly laid before tho public,
Congress would soon respond to the re?
sulting sentiment and put an end to a
rraetlco which is already privately con?
demned by so many of Its members.

HORSES AND

The Steeplechase Season of 1903
One of the Greatest Ever
Known.
MARKS ERA IN THE SPORT
Virginia Bred Horses Promi?
nent, One of Them, Land of
Clover, is Champion.
Tho steeplechase season of 1903, which
will doso with the Bonnlhgs meeting now
in progress at Washington, hnn surpassed
In interest and Importance that of any
yoar In tho history of the sport In
America.
Tho Metropolitan and filck private stables
now bucking this branch of racing, the
money Invested In I'n-eedlng and training
the special type of^horse, the size of tho
stakes and value of purses and plate,
are the Intrinsic factors which havo con?
tributed to make the plcturosriuo cross?
country event eo popular and Invest It
with so much fascination.
A few years back It was merely the
element of peril nnd the partisanship
growing out of a personal sentiment for
the rider that gave It life. To-day, how
eier, a true ridden steeplechase Is looked
upon as a science exact as that of a per?
formance on tho flat, and now reeeive
support as substantial, relatively speak?
ing, as that accorded other branches of
racing.
, ? ? ?
Vlrglnla-bred horses have contributed
materially to the success of the steeple?
chases and hurdle races of 1903, having
won a number of tho most Important
events durlngs this season. Land of
Clover, the cleverly named bay goldlng,
5, by Flatlands, dam Lucky Clover, by
Bersan, ranks as tho champion steeple?
chase horse of tho year. He was bred
by J. H. McGavook, of the Fort Chls
well Stud, Max Meadows, 'where his sire
and dam, are owneu. This stout hoar.Jed
son of Flatlands shouldered 1G7 pounds
at Moris Park. New York, on Octobor
3rd, and won the great $10,000 steeple
chose, defeating the best horses In train?
ing, among them Self Protection winner
of the samo event last season, and who
v.as once regarded as a likely candldnte
for English Grand National honors. The
Fcrt Chlswell Stud also furnished an?
other winner In the grey gelding Gum
Honey, 4, by Flatlands, dam the well
known gray mare Jan.ulllne, by Importod
The Jacobite Gum Honey won the first
steeplechase of the season, which was In
April lost ati the Bennlngs track, Wash?
ington, where ho defeated, Gold Ray and
others.
. The Ellersllo Stud of R. J. Hancock
& Son, Charlottesvllle, furnished a trio
of winners In that ?Ood horse Charawind
bay gelding, 6, by Imported Chnraxus dam
Helmwlnd, by Eolus; Gould, formerly
known as Henry Joy, bay goldlng, 9, by
Eolus, dam Lady Grace,,.hy Rnmnoy. end
NInos, bay mare, 9, by Imported Chara
xus, dam NInonle, by Eolus. During the
earlier part of the season' Charawlnd
raced under the colors of L. V, Bell, from
whom he passed to William Lakeland
and then to Edward Corrigan.1 of Chicago,
his preseVit owner.- Th??'sbn of"Imported
Charaxus has shown almost^constant Im?
provement and Mr. Corrjgan" looks for
Him to make a performer of real class, j
Gould and Ninos have figured as -winners
iiostly in tho Western, tracks, the for?
mer finishing first In a handicap at 1-1
mile, 144 pounds up, In 4:54 1-4. and tho
International Steeplechase worth $1,000 at
Detroit In June, while Ninos won at La
lOnia and other places.
? * ?
Imperialist and Arius, noth bred In tho
Valmont Stud of Pitts and Dorrlor.
Scottsville, were both good winners, the
former being prominent as a performer
at the Washington meeting now In pro?
gress. Imperialist, bay gelding, G, by Nor?
wood dam Gemlnma, by Helmday, won a
steeplechase at two miles, 156 pounds up
in 4:57 1-4, at Plmllco in April, and has
kept up a winning clip right through the
season. Ho has "met and beaten such as
Nepo sot, Decamera, Llda Woodlands
and others, Arlus. bay gelding, 0, by
Norwood, dam Avril, by Brennan, won
at Washington, April 2, ? handicap
steeplechase at 2 1-2 mllos, 150 pounds up;

duco tho small sum of eight cents can
buy the best thoughts of Plato, for
which, In another typo and binding, ho
may lay down eight dollars If he will.
All sorts and conditions of mon find
their way here?from the child uftor a

Btuilent hunting a fine Bible or a weighty
encyclopedia; tho airy-fairy dovotoos of
Charlotte Bracino and "Tho Duchess"
to the on refill and reverent readers of a
chelee Badgor or Thackeray or Addlson
or Olbboii, Everything is there, und tho
solo request Is that a man with a warm
heart and a cold pocket cutinot curry
thnm all awny with him,
For tlie children, u gorgeous "Mother
Gooso," with many pictures of u fusel
nutlng hu_ of rod, green, blue, enn be had
by some grateful mother for forty-five
cents. Tho Allcott series for tho little
cues Is also there in abundance. Here is
tho children's book par excellence, a
sort of olae*lo In its way, the Elsie
uerios, There aro other juvenile books
galore. Tho thrilling Henty 0torle?-what.
boy does not know them, and the time
when they cost him more than a dollar.
In tlio way of fiction, no richer assort?

of all sorts and sizes. Some of the
corles soll for eight cents, each?cloth

"The Duchess" to Dickens, all the In*

aro represented at almost any price. The

Grouped all around these current novels
are great sets of the .more stable pro?

leather Shakespeare, twenty-ono volumes
of Dickens. There are other seta In
abundance?Thackeray, Hugo, Dickens,
Carlyle, Balzac?for almost any price.
.It were folly to attempt an exhaustive
summary of what may bo found In this
place. It Is no trashy collection from
either of the two points of view?literary
or typographical. All the poots are there,
and by their sido staid biographers, his?
torians and what not. Here may bo
gotten, as one will, the Bible,' great
cyclopedias and dictionaries. Gibbons'
Romo and Motley's Dutch "Republic,"
Goethe's "Faust" and" "Egmont," and
Dante's "Inferno," Homers "Iliad" and
Cicero's "Orations"; Boswell,' John

Coopor, Hawthorne, and all the
rest, descending finally to Peo's Dupine.
Gaborian's Lecoq and Doyle's Sherlock
Holmes, newly come to life. The ranga
of choice is almoBt unlimited, and as for
the prices, space will permit but one
word?it Is within reach of everybody.
In a class by themselves are the holi?
day books, marvels of bookcraft and
typographical skill, beautiful and chaste?
the Ideal Christmas presont. Around them
are calendars and other things of the
knick-knack sort.1 The now Christy cal?
endars are hero. All of the great modern*?
artists and many of tho old masters are
represen ted. A folio ?f Gilbert lies upon
the shelf; Charles Dana Gibson's new
book, "The Weaker Sex," occupies a
conspicuous place. Or.o of the charms
of the book etoro la that you are at liberty
to step behind tho counters or anywli'ero
you find books.
One final word. Tho department is
not In the hands of a senseless miss who
knows no more of tho books than their
covers. Only the bookman can? appre?
ciate how much this means. Miss Duffy,
who has supervision of tho department,,Is,
a librarian of the right sort. The books
are hor frlonds, . and she knows them, >
It Is a pleasure to visit the store and:
