Our country must have the Parcels
Post. The rates we have to pay to-
day for sending small package a
hundred or a thousand miles are too
high altogether. Congress has already
put itself on record as in favor of
the Parcels Post, but the authorities
are slow to act. But one example is
needed to show that the new method
of forwarding small packages is an
imperative necessity. If you want to
send a package weighing eleven
pounds from here to New York city
the charges will be about $2.40. The
postoffice will not accept so heavy a
package, so you must go to the ex-
press office. This rate you must pay
as an American. Were you a for
eigner living on the other side of the
sea and desired to send such a pack

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.

During the past few weeks the mail
ing lists of The Ranch have been re-
vised. The work has been done thor
oughly, but there may still be some err
rors, which we are anxious to correct.
We suggest that our subscribers look
at their address labels and II there is
any error in the date write to the Sc
attic Office at once, stating the case.
In addition, note whether or not you
are in arrears. Remember that those
who pay in advance save half the sub
scription price by so doing. 1t is
worth a special effort on your part to
keep your subscription paid up.

il. Just here let us make a sugges-
ton to these men. The supposition,
of course, is that they are progressive
and anxious to get the best that will
be of assistance in their work. A
good paper devoted largely to their
interest is a necessity-and it is
imperative that a publication dealing
with conditions in the dairy and farm
ing lines as they exist in the north
west should be had. Such publica-
ton is The Ranch. The price is but
SO cents a year, in advance. The
wise ones will take the hint and
swamp the Office with subscription or
ders.

should notify the Seattle office at once,

If you are not subscriber to The
Ranch you are missing much valuable
information pertinent to your interests

ested in agriculture of any kind.

the report of the association of the
American agricultural colleges and ex-
pertinent stations is strongly recon-
mended the introduction of courses in

preparing to render practical aid to
the important work of farmers insti-
tutes throughout the country.

Rural free delivery has made a
phenomenal growth in the past three
or four years. Washington is up with
the procession and will stay there.
She has a good many of the 10000
new routes that have been established
the past two years, and will receive
a proportionate share of the same
number that it is the intention OF
the department to establish during
the current year. 1t has been i'm
possible to meet the request of every
community that thought itself emit
tied to a free delivery service, but as
fast as the department can come
around to it the routes are put into
operation, provided investigation bears
out the claims of the applicants.

This is the time when congressman
neglect their official duties to attend
to the distributing of free seeds among
their dear constituents. This perfid-
GUS habit will not down so long as the
present laws remain on the books.
But there is another factor that en-
courages the practice. 1t is the will
ingness of farmers of average intelli-
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1904-01-15

gence to accept these musty old seeds
from their congressman, rather than
throw them into the fire and purchase
seeds that are known to be of last
years crop. 1t seldom happens that
the seeds sent broadcast by the gov
eminent prove fertile in sufficient de-
gree to warrant any one wasting good
land and valuable time trying to raise
a crop from them. 1t is well for the
government to secure and distribute a
limited quantity of seeds of rare and
new plants, for experimental purposes,
but the present plan Of alloting to
each congressman several hundred
pounds of old seeds and an unlimited
supply of franked envelopes is entire
ly wrong. In addition to supplying
the farmers with worthless seeds in
this way the government is coming
into direct competition with private
business enterprise-the seed houses.

vice would cost you but So cents.
Why this great discrepancy? The ex-
PLANTATION is simple. The British post
office department has made arrange
ments with private express COM
pany in this country to handle such
packages on a 25-cent basis, up to
eleven pounds, from New York to
any postoffice in the United States.
This privilege is accorded only to for
eigners. The arrangement is the Par
cells Post independent Of the United
States pOstofice department. There
is no reason why our government can
not inaugurate the regular domestic
Parcels Post at once. A letter to
your congressman, urging him to have
the government take action at an
early day, would be a good thing.

There does not seem to be much
prospect for the state of Washington
soon securing slice of that money
Congress set aside for irrigation pro-
jects in the different western states.
1t has been reported that this state
will have to wait at least year be-
fore anything is actually undertaken,
the reason given being that the most
feasible scheme will call for such
large expenditure that the funds al
lotted to this state will be insufficient
and more money must be voted before
the work can be put under way.
These reports have set the people in
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1904-01-15

the so-called arid sections to action.
Various chambers of commerce and
other public bodies have asked Cover
nor Mcbride to appoint commission,
whose duty it shall be to prepare an
irrigation bill for introduction at the
next session of the legislature. 1t is
felt there is great need of state laws
that will enable the work Of the gov
eminent to be carried out, as well as
to encourage private enterprise along
the line of reclamation of arid lands.
The national irrigation authorities
suggested that the various commercial
bodies interested take such move.
In response to the request, the COVER
nor has made a favorable reply, say
ing he will appoint such commission
provided competent men can be found
to take hold of the work and trust to
the next legislature for their compen-
sation. There is no statute authoriz-
ing the governor to take such a step,
nor are there any funds available for
meeting the expenses of such a COM
mission. The work, however, appears
of SO great Importance that the next
legislature ought to be willing to au-
thorize the money for such a purpose.

The movement to give every stu
dent at public schools a chance to
study agricultural topics is growing in
favor. During the year of 1902 the at
tendance at the land grant colleges
aggregated 1860 students, of whom
6,299 were in agricultural courses.
The graduates of these institutions in
1902 were 4,443 and since their organ
ization over $4,000. Considerable ad-
vancement is reported in the way Of
secondary and elementary schools of
agriculture. The agricultural high
schools of Wisconsin have been so sue
cessful that provision has been made
for an increased number by the state
Legislature. Schools are about to open
in California and Massachusetts, and in
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1904-01-15


of so great Importance that the next
legislature ought to be willing to au-
thorize the money for such purpose.
From all accounts it would seem
there is no room for the pessimist
today. The new year has been ush-
cred in with the brightest prospects
for the future. In every section OF
the country the feeling is unanimous
that 1904 will see even greater pros
perity than did 1903. Men of wide
experience in the financial world, pos
sessed of keen observation and with
the disposition to judge impartially,
say panic is so remote, II one is
coming, that the man OF today need
not bother his head about it. We have
such men right here in Seattle. One
of them is James A. Moore, president
of the Moore Investment Company,
and owner of the Washington hotel
Mr.. Moore has just returned from
an extended trip in the east, where
he made close study Of conditions
in the principal financial centers.
Everywhere he found an optimistic
feeling regarding the future. He
talked with men well posted on con-
ditions and invariably found con-
census of opinion regarding the rea-
sons for the present good times and
the utter improbability of panic
coming. "The principal reason given
by leading fnanciers to show why
panic is impossible" said Mr.. Moore
upon his return, sis the prosperous
condition of the farmers. Never in
the history of the United States have
the farming communities been so pros
porous as at present-With mortgages
paid off and millions of money in the
country banks-With good crops and
continued high prices for everything
the ground produces, the land owner
is in a position he never before at
tanned in this country or in any other"
Here we have the situation in nut
shetland it ought to be very graft
flying, indeed, to those who are so
fortunate as to belong to the farm
ing class
Fred VAIN, of Black Diamond, is
now prepared to supply 1S-foot hop
poles in carload lots. These poles
are used mostly east of the Cascades.
They are put far apart for permanent
use, wires are stretched from top TO
top and from these strings are carried
down to the plants. This, Mr.. VAIN
says, is a great Improvement over

The yacht Lurline left Hilo on the
Goth OF August and reached her home
port, San Pedro, in twenty-one days.
The voyage was very pleasant one and
had the wind been stronger she would
have made very quick passage. 1t
took seven days to make the last FIVE
hundred miles owing to light weather
and Gains. The schooner carried her
gaff topsails for sixteen days continu-
ously and there were many days when
it was so smooth they did not have to
use the racks on the table.
The Lurline was soon to go on the
ways and be copper painted and then
will be laid up for the winter. Mr.. Sim
clair writes that he will probably come
down again next year and cruise around
our islands but will not go further
south. When he left here he hoped to
induce some of the other large cruising
yachts to accompany him so that it is
quite possible that we will have several

ENTE RPRISE MAY

Advices from san Francisco state
that the steamer Enterprise. which Is
on the Hilo-San Francisco run, may
not make any more trips until the first

opens. She arrived at the coast port
teen cabin and eight Japanese passen-
gers. Her cargo was exceedingly light
there being only $50 bags of sugar
where the vessel generally is taxed to
carry the load that awaits her.
On this account it is reported in Coast
shipping circles that the Matson Steam
ship Company viii take the Enterprise
off the Iiilo run after the trip which
she is now making and lay her up in
Oakland creek until the opening of the
sugar season The Enterprise has been
on the hilo line since 1901. She was
formerly the British steamer St.
George and was once in the Australian
passenger trade.
In 1898 her owner, II. Deederischen
of Kiel. Germany, sent her to Cuba
with a cargo of coal. During a fog
she went ashore at the place where
General Shafter was landing his troops.
She was pulled off and sold to Amerl-
can parties who changed her name to
Enterprise and got an American reg
istry for her. She was built in 1882 at
Newcastle and is 1893 tons
