CANAVARRO HAS
NOT BEEN NOTIFIED

Consul General Canavarro. represent
ing Portugal in the Hawaiian Islands,
has received no particulars of the estab-
ishment of the Republic of Portugal.
He is disposed to the belief thar the
consular corps may not be changed to
any degree, as the consuls are regarded
as employees who have no adherence to
any particular party. They are en-
ployes selected and commissioned to
carry out the wishes Of the govern
ment, and the government, to them. is
merely whoever happens to be in power.
Premiers may come and premiers may
go, the cabinet may change, but the
consular corps generally remains the
same.
The consul general Will remain the ac-
credited representative of the Portu
guese government. now for the republic
as he was before for the monarchy, but
is awaiting some news from the Portu-
guese minister 10 Washington
Mr. Cansvarro. however, is Of the
belief that the new government may
take stock of its consula les and 90 over
them with d fine tooth comb. The gov
eminent may come to the conclusion
that although there Is a large Porru-
guese colony here. increased. from time
to time by emigran-s from the Portu-
gueSe islands near Portugal, they may
not be SO much need for a consul gen
eral or consular representative with a
big salary. and may decide to have here
merely a consular representative, fol
lowing the plan adopted for Hawaii,

The Parcels Post and the Farm.

w. e. Gerritson of North Yakima,
under date of Jan. 10Th, writes as
follows: GA short time ago [ read an
article of yours on parcels post IN The
Ranch. We have IN our Mckee valley
an Improvement Club of about GO
members. This question has come up
in our meetings but we have not as
much information on the subject as
we would like If it is not putting
you to too much bother, could you
send us notes of present postage and
what it would be if we had parcels
post? What would be the best thing
we could do to boost it along, etc. ?
We should feel very much indebted to
you for any information you could
give us. "
1t would be too much of burden
for me to write privately to these peo-
pie if that is what they desire. Ii
this was the only appeal made to me
for private information it would not
he so difficult for me- to comply with
but such appeals, but on great va
riety of subjects, come to me almost
daily. Tie best l can do is to furn-
ish such information as can on the
parcels post to our whole circle of read
ers. Nearly all farmers are interested
in this question.
The other day | was in the new
million dollar post office in Seattle
where | read this notice to the public :
"Parcels Post to fore ign countries II

postal authorities have made an argee-

SPRAY FOR PEACH APHIS

In recent issue of The Ranch L
said that the aphids did not do much
harm in the Yakima valley owing to
the fact that the hot summer suns
cooked them. After this had gone to
the printer it occurred to me that L
ought to have made exception in the
case of peach aphis. With us this
aphis is somewhat more resistant to
tie hot sun than others of the aphis
family but even it gives way in our
hottest weather. In 1908 some of our
peach trees were attacked with this
aphis and l recommended my SONS to
spray with kerosene emulsion on the
following week if the damage contin-
ued bat it turned quite hot and the
boys wrote to me they did not need to
spray. When went back to the ranch
few weeks later, found that the
aphids we're gone and the trees had
recovered and borne a good crop of
peaches.
A. II. Richardson of North Yakima,
has written to me about this aphis
and take pleasure in publishing his
letter as a correction of what | had
said. l am glad to have any one call
my attention to any mistake or over
sight occurring in my department. of
The Ranch. Mr.. r. writes as fol-
lows: "Do you not under estimate
the ability for mischief of the green

business think it is q lite a serious

foreign countries varies from IL
pounds to over 100 pounds. The fact
is that we Americans do not enjoy
the same privileges that are granted
by almost all other countries to their
citizens. AS illustrating this point,
let me make quotation from the ed
1torial Lage of the Rural New Yorker
of recent date: Speaking of parcels
post, man living in Scotland, Eng
land or Ireland can send by mail
one package weighing IL pounds to
Montreal or elsewhere in Canada for
70 cents. An American living within
five miles Of the line would be obliged
to pack the goods in three packages
and pay 81. rs. This is ''the land of
the free.
Evidence accumulates abundantly
to show how we'll the people of other
countries fare when it comes to send
ing parcels by mail. The same issue
of the Rural New Yorker gives quite
extensive quotations from U. S. Con-
sui, H. S. Culver who writes from
Cork, Ireland. HI ere is the way he
describes the advantages that come to
the citizens of Great Britain: "F'arm-
ers, merchants and manufacturers pat
ronize extensively these means Of
communication between the markets
and the isolated customer. For in
stance, the farmer at Queenstown can
order a pound of tea in London and
have it delivered at Queenstown for
three pence or six cents. The rail
ways maintain a system OF fast eX-
press trains, and all sorts of goods
and commodities can be sent by GER
tain ones, called goods trains. The
rates charged include delivery where
there is carriage service at the point of
destination. -
"The rates by parcels post are six
cents for one pound or less, eight
cents for one to two pounds, and two
cents additional for each pound up to
II, the weight limit of parcels"
What a contrast to our rates. We
must pay 16 cts. for one pound or less,
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1910-03-01

80 cents for two pounds and 1,76 on II
pounds while over there II pounds can
be sent for 26 cents. The only way
we can send II pounds is to divide
into three packages and pay 16 cents
per pound ON each. The cheap rates
At which packages can be sent by mail
in Great Britain has caused the rail
ways to bring down their rates to cor
respond. Consul Culver says: "The
railway rates on goods sent by railway
express for parcels weighing from one
up to "a pounds, not exceeding 30
miles, range from eight to II cents,
and for parcels above "a pounds one
half cent per pound; more than 3
miles and not exceeding so miles.
eight to "a cents, and for parcels
above "a pounds one cent per pound;
more than 50 miles ard not exceeding
100 miles, eight to &c cents. and for
parcels above "a pounds, one and a
half cents per pound; more than 100
miles, eight to 48 cents, and for par
cells above "a pounds, two cents per
pound"
This clearly shows that if we we're
to adopt parcels post with the same
limits in weight and the same rates as
those in Great Britain, the railways
would cut their rates SO as to retain
much of the trade. The United States
by refusing it's own people the prive-
leges of foreign countries are helping
to perpetuate the exhorhitant rates
charged by the railroads. The rail-
roads and the express companies being
practically under the same manage
ment stand like a stonewall against
the parcels post and our senators and
representatives in Congress become
their subservient tools. Shame on
such trucking. l have much more to
say on this subject in other issues.
