which the zones are drawn. The rates of postage are fixed from the unit in which the sending postoffice is situated, but the price to every place in any zone is just the same. To it. lustrate, it will cost exactly the same amount to send a parcel from Wash ington to Erie, Pa, that it costs to send 1t to Atlanta, Ga, because Erie and Atlanta with reference to Wash ington are situated in the fourth zone. The rates therefore are fixed from the unit in which the postoffice is located, but they are the same from that office to any point in any one zone.
 It will be seen by reference to the table of rates of postage that it will cost more per pound to send a pack, age a long distance than it does to send it short distance. The rate in, creases for a package weighing one pound at the rate of one cent for each zone. No package weighing more than II pounds can be sent un. der the new parcel post law. It should be said right here that on the long hauls the parcel post may not be able to compete with the express companies, but that on shorter hauIs 1t can so compete. It was the ex pressed desire of the legislators and of the postoffice officials that the par eel post system should be made of particular use to persons having farm and factory products to transmit to customers. It is probable that pro- ducers must study the rates of post age and the convenience of trans initial and compare them with the cost and convenience under present methods before individually a man can determine whether he Is to profit or not by the change. Then there Is an other thing to be considered and which only can be known definitely when fuller regulations have been made to specify exactly what kind of things can be sent by parcel post. It can be said in general way that any thing can be sent which is properly wrapped and which will not injure other mail matter with which it may come in contact
 Copy Foreign Countries.
 It is probable that the government will adopt means of transportation for certain kinds of it's merchandise much like those which have beer 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 it 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 if 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 Il pounds, and probably it would increase at no great CT rate if the government were to raise the limit of weight which is now fixed To make it simpler, it will cost more to send two packages of II pounds than it would to send ore package of p pounds if the govern ment eventually should allow a heavi-

CT single package to be carried and should charge in proportion just what 1t does now for one package of Il pounds weight.
 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 parcel is pre- sented for transportation is to find out In what zone the destination of the package lies. His table will show him instantly the rate per pound from the unit in which his postoffice lies to the zone of the packages destina- tions, the price as has been explained before, to every postoffice in any one zone being the same. The parcel post will take nothing but fourth-class mat ter. Printed matter Is still in the third-class designation. Therefore books cannot be sent by the parcel post system. This the postoffice au- thorities seem to think is in a way unjust and may work a hardship. It may be that in the future the law will be changed so as to include all print ed matter. It seems to be certain that an attempt will be made to bring about this change as speedily as pos sible.
 Must Bear Stamp.
 Postmaster General Hitchcock has ordered that postmasters be advised that parcel post packages cannot be accepted for mailing unless they bear a distinctive parcel post stamp and have attached to them the return card of the sender. A series of distinctive stamps is now in course of prepara- tion for this class of mail as required by the law creating the parcel post system. Consignments of these stamps will be ready for shipment to all postoffices in ample time for the establishment of the new system on New Years day
 The postoffice department has given instruction to every postmaster in the country to enlighten his patrons as much as possible on the general sub ject of the parcel post and especially on the use of the special stamps and the necessary attachment of the re turn card. The law requires that all fourth-class matter mailed ter Jan- uary 1, 1913. without parcel post stamps attached shall be treated as Held for postage" matter. Parcel post packages will be mailable only at postoffi ces, branch postoflces, let tered and local named stations, and such numbered stations as may be designated by the postmasters.
 It has been announced by Postmas- ter General Hitchcock that nearly TO- GOO scales will be required for use in the parcel post system which is to go into effect January 1st He has ac- cordingly authorized the issuance of bids for that number. Two hundred of the largest postofices and their branches will be supplied with auto matic. springless scales. The next class of offices, numbering about 10,- GOO, will be given high grade beam scale, while the four class offices, numbering about 55,000, will be fur nished with the best spring balances obtainable, each having a capacity for twenty pounds. These scales will be used by postmasters to determine the amount of postage required on parcel post packages. The fact that many of the postofhces of the country are

young corn plant, the shoot is ruined
and the plant will throw up worthless
suckers which produce no ears and
scant fodder, In the light of all the
information the department has OBJ
tanned, it seems that the farmers only
hope of relief from the rayages of this
pest lies in so timing his planting in
spring as not to subject his crop to
severe attacks.
Nearly all the complaints reaching
the department from the south refer
to crops damaged by the beetle in
March and April. Therefore, it ap-
pears that there might be a possibili
ty of preventing much of the loss to
southern corn growers by planting
corn at a date that will bring the
young plants above ground at time
after most of the eggs have been de-
posted and not so late as to invite
attack from the second generation
which is evidently abroad in the fields
in late June and early July.
