-commodities in the fourth class. If 

 the House concurs, as there is little 

 ■doubt it will, it will leave the Post- 

 master General free to establish what- 

 ever rates and rules he pleases, sub- 

 ject to the approval of the Interstate 

 Commerce Commission. As the depart- 

 ment already has approved the idea of 

 having the rates on catalogues, seeds 

 and plants the same, no doubt this plan 

 will carry. E. H. P. 



THE POSTOFFICE CONCURS. 



In The Eeview for February 5 it 

 was suggested that, inasmuch as the 

 general demand that seeds and plants 

 be included in the parcel post ap- 

 pears certain to result in legislation to 

 that effect, it would be desirable for 

 the seed trade to write in asking that 

 the rates be made the same on seods 

 and catalogues, new rates for the latter 

 having just been fixed.. The trade at 

 large has endorsed the suggestion and 

 several bills have been introduced in 

 Congress, some of them fixing the rate 

 on seeds, bulbs, plants, etc., at 1 cent 

 for each two ounces up to eight ounces, 

 parcels over eight ounces to take the 

 zone rates the same as other merchan- 

 dise. The Postoffice Department has 

 concurred in this, and W. F. Therkild- 

 son, chairman of the committee on 

 postal laws of the American Seed Trade 

 Association, wrote fo The Review, Feb- 

 ruary 25: 



"Gentlemen: I am just in receipt 

 of a night letter from President Mas- 

 sie, and he advises me that the Post- 

 office Department has recommended to 

 the Senate postoffice committee that the 

 rates on seeds, plants, etc., remain as 

 heretofore up to eight ounces, all pack- 

 ages weighing over eight ounces being 

 included at the parcel post zone rates. 



"The Senate postoffice committee has 

 agreed to this proposition, and I sug- 

 gest that you make note of it in your 

 publication, requesting all members to 

 write their senators antl roj^resentatives 

 supporting this, as there is no question 

 that one or the other of the bills 

 now before Congress will be made a 

 law, and this seems to be the best of 

 the lot." 



SMILE WHEN SKIES WEEP IN CAL. 



Last year it was drought that hit the 

 California seed growers probably the 

 hardest blow of their lives. This sea- 

 son rains that were torrential have 

 done more or less local damage through 

 the southern half of the state. Seed 

 growers have sustained some losses, but 

 they are disposed to concur with Julius 

 Kruttschnitt, chairman of the Southern 

 Pacific's board of directors, who, com- 

 menting on the February flood, said:
