Parcel Post Losses.

Public confidence in the efficiency Of
the postal service should not be lessened
on account OF the apparent increase III
the number OF losses In parcel post. as
suggested by the request OF the POST
master General for n larger appropria-
don FOR indenlnlfying claimants. As has
been pointed out In the news columns OF
The Star. the estimate for larger in
demnity fund Is due to other causes than
an actual increase in losses. But in any
case II might be true that there are more
losses in the parcel post than before. and
yet with no reflection upon the. integrity
or efficiency of the service. The aggre-
gate volume OF parcel post business is in
creasing constantly as the people come
to appreciate the great advantage OF this
mode OF transport. This is in accordance
with the expectation OF the projectors Of
the parcel post system. who urged that
the public would use the post for send
ing small packages more and more freely
as acquaintance with the system spreads.
But the parcel post is not used In all
cases carefully. In many instances
losses are due to imperfect addressing
and imperfect wrapping. Doubtless to
these causes is TO be attributed more
actual loss in the mails than TO inefi-
cheney on the part OF those charged with
the service. As the system is perfected
the department will doubtless throw more
safeguards around II to insure against
losses, but the public must do its part
in the more careful. wrapping and ad-
dressing Of parcels. Under the insur-
ance system the government is charged
in handling certain classes OF matter
with an indemnifying responsibility. and
st is TO be believed that in the course OF
- short time the system will have been
sufficiently perfected TO reduce losses IN
at least this class to a negligible point.

Missionaries Of Agriculture
From the Boston Advertiser.


1t is not generally known that the
Department Of Agriculture at Wash
tngton has gone in for foreign mis-
sions. but such Is the case. Just now
the interest Of the department is in the
agricultural problems Of Argentina, and
two Of the former employees OF the de-
partment. one OF them a former assist
ant secretary, have taken service with
the Argentine government for the pur-
pose Of bringing modern ideas into use
among the farmers OF that republic. OF
course, the interest OF the United
States Department OF Agriculture in
the problems OF other countries is
what is called unofficial, but II is very
genuine nevertheless. and every cour-
tesy IL extended to the applications for
help from South America. The growth
OF the population Of the United States
has made il necessary to look toward
less settled countries for certain adj
ditions to the food SUPPLY and the de-
velopment of the farming resources
OF South America is a vital matter with
the American people,

per ton. A ton of LII fertilizer can
be made by mixing together 100
pounds of Nitrate of Soda, worth
$500, 1000 pounds of Acid Phos-
phate, worth $3.50, 40 pounds of
Muriate of Potash, worth S1.00, and
$50 pounds of dirt or sand, worth
nothing. In other words, farmers
are paying as high as $4,000 for
1140 pounds of plant food and $50
pounds of sand, when they can get
the same amount or plant food Tor
$11 so by mixing the fertilizer on
the farm. If farmers have to buy
commercial fertilizers they should
get the highest grade and scatter
broadcast enough of it to feed the
pant through the growing season.
However, they had much better use
ground limestone rock and grow clo-
yer, then plough the clover under
with Phosphate Rock. By this meth
cd they can do away with CONNER
cial fertilizers and keep thousands
of dollars in Christian county that is
going out of the state to enrich the
Fertilizer Trust.

Marriage More Popular.

A great deal has been written, and
said about the growing tendency of
American men to content themselves
with the financial ease and freedom
of bachelorhood and to marry late or
not at all. The bachelor maid has
become an institution, at leaet in the
popular mind, in this country as in
England. and great deal is heard
about her preference for independ-
ence. BIT the figures show that there
is more marrying and giving in
marriage" nowadays ia this country
than there was twenty wears ago.
And the cost of living was much less
twenty years ago thsn it is today.
According to the statistics COM
piled by the Census Bureau the males
who were, or had been, married in
1890 were 81 l of the male popula-,
tion. In 1900 the figures were 59.4
and in 1910 COS. The women who
had been. or were. married in 1890
were 68.1 per cent. of the female
population and IN 1910 20 per cent.
Examination of the figures from
all angles seems to show that there
is a genuine increase in the popular
ity of marriage and that young per-
sons are more inclined to try the ex-
pertinent than they formerly were.-
