PARCELS POST EFFECTIVE
Commencing With This Morn
ing New Law Is Eff

/ The parcels post law went into eff
| feet over the United States at 600
o'clock this morning. Its workings
promise to put something of a crimp
In the business formerly enjoyed by
the express companies, as substan-
tial savings are to be effected by pat
| ronizing the governments new trans
portation scheme. The parcels post
allows of the transporting through
the mails of merchandise of certain
| description, providing IL does not
weigh more than IL pounds and is
not more than six feet long or three
feet in width.
These regulations, however pro-
hibit the mailing OF live snakes and
birds, intoxicants, pistols and in
namable material. On the other
hand the shipper is allowed TO mail
butter. lard. fish. fresh meat, dressed
fowls, vegetables. fruits, berries and
similar articles. Fresh meats, how
ever. may be transported only fifty
miles, and II for any reason the par
cells post is unable to deliver this or
other perishable matter they can be
turned over to charity organizations
Provision Is made for insuring par
cells and they can also be registered.
The delivery of the packages will
be made with the same regularity
that now prevails In distributing the
mail. These deliveries will be made
by wagon under l5-day contract
with those who are now carrying the
local mails in each city. At the end
OF the 15-day probation the govern
ment will make the contracts perma-
nent.
AS each locality makes its own
first zone IL has been necessary for
the post office department to print
separate rate maps for all sections
of the United States,
The first zone of fifty miles in
cludes what is called a local zone
The maximum charge for the local
zone is five cents for the first pound
and one cent for each additional
pound. After that there is a gradu-
ated increase, the second zone hay-
Ing a radius of $50 miles, the third
zone 900 miles and so forth until
the eighth zone, which includes
every town over 1900 miles away.
A special series of stamps have
been engraved and will be used ex-
clusiyely on this class of mail mat
ter. These stamps will be obtain
able on January l. at any post Office
station.
Perhaps the greatest benefit OF the
parcels post will be to the farmer
who desires TO sell his goods direct
to the consumer. A postal card or
dering a dozen eggs mailed one day
Will bring the eggs to hand on the
following day.

struction payments until the end Of
the ten year period. making the
charges accruing in 1912 payable
in the eleventh year, but it appeared
that under the law this was imprac-
ticable and hence the best that can
be done is to postpone this payment
until the end Of the regular ten year
period and this ruling has now been
accomplished after urgent represen-
tations by the Project Management

tistician of the service. who visited
the project soon after the subject
came up and looked into and report
ed upon the question from his special
standpoint
The men in charge Of the project
feel that this action in behalf of the
water users should be taken as evil
denee that the project management
is in full sympathy With The needs
of the farmers of this project, and it
goes to show that no great amount
of agitation or exertion in the way
of appeals or other clamorous repre-
sentations on the part of the water
users is necessary to enlist the SYM
pathy and help Of the project man
agement in securing necessary de
partmental action.
In considering action en- masse by
the farmers through the water users
associations or otherwise am
strongly impressed at this time with
! the glorious opportunity for such ae-
tion in connection with the sugar in
dustry of this project It appears
that we are actually threatened with

I is most vital to the permanent pros
perity of this entire community. The

a mere trife compared to the far

confronted. If water users associ-

A COMMUNICATION FROM PROJECT ENGINEER

+ farmers as gift. A cash marke
has been provided right here in theil
midst offering a most promising op
portunity for successful and profit
able returns from a crop which il
peculiarly adapted to our local con-
ditions.
\ recent report from the agrieul-
tural department announces that
this country is still importing sugar
from beets grown in Europe, and it
is stated in strong language that the
farmers of America are losing one
of the greatest opportunities in their
lives in their neglect to enlarge the
cultivation of sugar beets and thus
keep at home millions of dollars in
money which we are sending abroad
in payment for imported sugar.
Right here on this project with
scarcely an effort of their own the
water users have been presented
with this great opportunity which
StAAS- NoAAiih dhitiSs nave ndu 10
struggle hard to secure, and having
secured it have become prosperous.
Perhaps the most successful of
the smaller projects of the Reclama-
ton Service is that at Huntley, Mon
tana, which has been conspicuously
successful almost wholly on account
Of its proximity to the sugar factory
at Billings, about twenty miles dis
tant The beet acreage at Huntley
has grown rapidly every year, the
farmers simply falling over each
other in their scramble to get in
the beets and secure the returns
which are more certain and more re-
munerative than almost any other
available crop | understand that
/ the Billings factory has had to cur
tail and allot the acreage in that
community because they were unable
TO handle all the beets that the far
mers wanted to produce.
1t seems TO me that the water
users association on this project
should forget any aspirations they
may have toward project manage
ment for the present, and turn their
entire attention to campaign of
boosting for beets, for, if we can not
overcome the blasting indifference
of the farmers in this emergency we
must look forward to opportunity
neglected and lost, followed by years
of barren regret.
Very truly yours,

Project Engineer.

To the Editor,

This is a most satisfactory con-
clusion of a matter which has been
urged upon the department by the
Project Office through the Washing
ton Office of the Reclamation Ser
vice 1t occurs to me in this connec-
tion to remark upon the apparent
sufflcieney of the project business
management to handle these ques-
/ tions in an effective way without
the active interference of the water
users, whether combined in water
users associations or other forms of
associations in which farmers at
tempt to act as a body, and this is
not to disparage in any way the for
NATION of cooperative societies
which may in their proper field be
very useful TO the community at
| large as well as beneficial to the in
terests of the members.
| only wish to point out that the
men in charge of the project when
the occasion arose, set about to as
certain whether postponement of
payments was justifiable, in view of
any loss OF crops which might have
been oecasioned by last seasons wat
er shortage. and after suitable study
of the situation ii was found that
| while there had been no wholesale
| destruction of crops on account of
water shortage, and, indeed, while
the crop loss was perhaps less than
what would be occasioned by ordi-
nary drought of frequent occurrence
in the eastern states. yet, the situ-
alton did seem to indicate that some
concession might with propriety be
made to the farmers of the project,
whom, 1t is realized, are beset with
various difficulties and should be as
sisted in all ways which are consis-
tent with the law under which we
are operating.
