Notes. 



During the fiscal year ended June 

 30, 1916, the Department of Agricul- 

 ture purchased for the 1915-16 con- 

 gressional seed distribution, 907,4171^ 

 pounds of vegetable seeds at a cost of 

 $98,528.57: 44,859 pounds of vegetable 

 seeds at a cost of $19,528.85, and 15,606 

 pounds of lawn grass seeds at $2,137.66. 

 This information is contained in a 

 statement showing the kind of seed 

 purchased, the quantity and cost 

 thereof, the date of purchase and the 

 country of origin. 



One of the provisions of the post of- 

 fice appropriation bill which the House 

 committee on post offices and post 

 roads will soon present to Congress 

 provides that catalogues shall here- 

 after take third-class rates, instead of 

 being allowed to go as parcel post 

 packages. This will mean an increase 

 of from 2 to 8 cents a pound on these 

 books. This legislation, proposed by 

 Representative Steenerson, is aimed 

 at the large mail order houses, but it 

 will affect all firms sending out bulky 

 catalogues. In this same bill there is 

 a provision looking to the establish- 



ment of a 1-cent postage rate on first- 

 class matter when intended for deliv- 

 ery in the same delivery district in 

 which posted. This will cover all city 

 drop letters and those intended for 

 delivery within the limits of city or 

 rural delivery districts.
