particular use to persons having farm
and factory products to transmit to
customers. 1t can be said In a general
way that anything can be sent which
is properly wrapped and which will
not inJure other mail matter with
which 1t may come In contact.
Copy Foreign Countries.
It Ia probable that the government
will adopt q means OF transportation
for certain kinds Of it's merchandise
much like those which have been
adopted in parcel post countries
abroad. What the English call ham
pers, basket-like arrangements, prob
ably will be adopted, and as these can
be kept separate from the ordinary
mail matter 1t Is believed that the
regulations as finally adopted will al
low the sending of eggs, butter, dress
ed poultry, live poultry. honey, fruit.
and other products of the country.
The 11-pound limit for a single pack.
age may work at first against any
very extended use of the parcel post
for some OF the articles which have
been named. OF course. more weight
can be sent II It Is sent In different
parcels. but the cost in that case
would be heavier, because the In
crease per pound on a single package
is not great up to II pounds. and
probably It would increase at no great
err rate II the government were to
raise the limit Of weight which Is now
fixed.
Every postmaster In the United
States will have a parcel post map
like the one which Is here reproduced
except that the zone lines will be
shown with the unit of his ~postoffice
as a center. All that a postmaster
will have to do when a percel Is pre-
scented for transportation is to find out
in what zone the destination Of the
package dies. His table will show
him instantly the rate per pound
from the unit in which his p~ostoff1ce
lies to the zone of the packages des-
tination. the price, as has been ex-
planned before, to every postofice in
n one zone being the same. The
parcel post will take nothing but
f~ourth-class matter. Printed matter
is still in the third-class designation.
Therefore books cannot be sent by the
parcel post system.
Rate on Seeds Not Affected.
1t should be said that the act OF
! congress which puts a parcel post
plan into operation does not In any
way affect the postage rate Oh seeds
cuttings, bulbs, roots, scions ant
plants as fixed by section 4S2 Of the
postal laws and regulations.
