loss, for the chestnut is one OF the

Besides the loss from a commercial

and there is no reason why there
should not be a gradual expansion
Of the barley area.
In the United States and Canada,
barley Is used for mailing purposes
and as a feed for farm animals. A
limited amount is used in the prepara.
tion of breakfast foods, and for
pearled barley. Our farmers are
learning the value OF barley as a part
ration for dairy cattle and young
stock and much more will be used as
animal food in the future. In the Pa.
cific coast states barley is quite gen.
orally grown as hay and feed for
horses. When used as a hay II is
cut in the milk stage shortly after
heading and cured like timothy or blue
grass. When the grain Is used as a
feed 1t is either fed whole or the
kernels crushed by passing between
rollers. II finely ground the gluten
therein makes a sticky mass as soon
as II is brought in contact with moist.
ure and II is not then readily masti.
Gated or digested. Only a limited
amount OF barley is exported from the
United States and this is largely as
a feed owing to the mixture OF va.
rieties.

t lesser cost than the existing

at a lesser cost than the existing
agencies.
There is another feature of this
parcels post service that may well
have the thoughtful consideration of
all of our people; for it threatens a
partial if not complete revolution of
existing commercial relations.
The year 1913 saw an extension of
the mail order business of the coun-
try of not less than twenty million
dollars. Probably much more. And
the parcels post contributed largely
to this enormous business. AS these
mail order houses are located in the
largest cities of the country, it trans
fers this immense traffic from more
than two thousand country stores do
ing business in excess of ten thousand
dollars Furthermore it diverts the
same business from the ordinary
channels of distribution through the
jobber, to these same retail stores
now located in every jobbing center
throughout the country.
If the government is fully cOmpen-
stated for the cost of this service and
in addition a margin of profit suffici-
ent to suitably reward private capital
engaged in like carrying business,
and it is then found to be an economic
factor in distribution, it would seem
that the revolution or evolution
should go on.
If, however, the government per-
forms this service as a whole or even
in part, at the expense of the people,
then what? Is anybody wrOnged if
by the extension of this service the
present channels of distribution are
disrupted and jobberS and retailers
alike are driven out of business as are
the express companies being driven
out now?
This is an economic question of
such import, that it should demand
the serious consideration of every
student of economics in the country.
And for the present | believe the
Postmaster General should wait any
further extension of the weight limit,
until he can be sure that the depart
ment can demonstrate it's ability to
properly and economically care for
the business that will come to it I'M
der his recent orders.
