Seeds, Watterson, and a Borrowing Congress Tale
The tale from the Washington Bureau recounts Henry Watterson's seed mishap after an old Tennessee neighbor sought seeds. Mistakes at the Agriculture Department sent nearly all his seeds to Tennessee, sparking a flood of constituent requests and forcing him to borrow seed from other districts during sessions. The joke notes he spent hours borrowing seeds, leaving little time for congressional duties.
