both because I have been unable to visit 

 enough of our various sections since the 

 heat wave and also because, from our 

 previous years' experience, we know 

 that this injury shows up in peculiar 

 results that become apparent only sev- 

 eral days after the passing of the in- 

 tense heat. We do know that we 

 cannot stand much more weather like 

 that of the last week of June and make 

 a crop of peas here, but if we are spared 

 any more of this kind of weather we 

 may make fairly good even yet. 



"There is one condition that I have 

 discovered since arriving here, which is 

 the result of frosts having visited cer- 

 tain of our growing territories June 7 

 to 9. The frost evidently stunted about 

 one-half of the vines, and, while these 

 are now coming on and making an effort 

 to make a crop, they are hopelessly re- 

 tarded in their development and will 

 not mature before the unaffected vines 

 are fit for harvest. In certain of our 

 important sections we regard our crop 

 as at least cut in two by these frosts."

Eepresentative George J. Kindel, of 

 Colorado, in discussing in Congress the 

 parcel post and a new plan he has sug- 

 gested to the postal authorities, re- 

 ferred to the e^ect of the parcel post 

 on shipments of seeds, plants, bulbs, etc. 

 He recited it as an example of the 

 "senseless regulations" governing the 

 parcel post. "A few days ago I called 

 upon W. A. Ryan, an examiner of the 

 Interstate Commerce Commission," said 

 Mr. Kindel. "He had a package of 

 bluegrass seed which weighed five and 

 one-half pounds, which he desired to 

 ship to his home in Chevy Chase. He 

 was declaiming against the inconsisten- 

 cies of the parcel post. Ryan told me 

 he took the package of seed to the post- 

 office and offered it to be sent to his 

 home at Chevy Chase by parcel post. 

 They wanted 44 cents to do so. I told 

 him I would mail it parcel post and it 

 would not cost that much, and so I took 

 the package to the postoffice and in re- 

 sponse to the inquiry as to what it con- 

 tained I said 'bird seed.' The clerk 

 said the package looked like one that 

 was presented not long ago. The de-
