one of the most important of the potato- 

 growing districts in Lincolnshire. From 

 this center about 1,000 tons are dis- 

 patched weekly to America. The price 

 paid to the farmers is about £1 15s. per 

 ton, and in addition to the cost of trans- 

 portation the potatoes have to bear a 

 duty of £1 17s. 6d. per ton. 



BEGIN THE PARCELS POST. 



The establishment of an experimental 

 rural parcels post system in two counties, 

 to be selected by the postmaster general, 

 is authorized by a provision in the post- 

 office appropriation bill now before the 

 senate. The bill already has been passed 

 by the house. The fixing of rates is to 

 be prescribed by the postmaster general, 

 who will report the result of the experi- 

 ment to congress by January 1 next. 



It was in this manner that the rural 

 free delivery of the higher classes of mail 

 was established — experimentally on one 

 or two routes — and those who favor the 

 parcels post believe it will grow from the 

 small beginning now planned until it 

 covers the whole country and is as in- 

 dispensable as is the rural free delivery.
