The shortage of beaus is being keenly 

 feU. 



The Californians are whistli#g at 

 their work. 



The new parcel post rates on seeds 

 appear to have a tendency, to foster the 

 local ^eed houses as against the distant 

 ones. 



W. F, Therkildson, advertising man- 

 manager for W. Atlee Burpee & Co., is 

 on a western trip. He is spending this 

 week at his old home at Painesville, O. 



Apparently the peas are not going 

 to clean up and the result doubtless 

 will be a larger acreage planted for 

 1914 seed crop thau was the case last 

 year. 



' Now the mailing clerks can fill in dull 

 days figuring how to deliver parcels 

 cheapest: by express, by parcel post 

 zone rates or by splitting into 4-ouncc 

 l)ackages to take the flat rate. 



The seedsman who is not busy this 

 week probably never will be. March 16 

 was a heavy day, but March 23 is likely 

 to prove to be Big Monday, the peak 

 of the mail order seed season. 



The portrait of Washington Atlee

 Pacific railroad for distribution to farm- 

 ers along its route. The seed took first 

 prize at a recent state fair at Helena 

 .ind third prize in the seed contest at 

 Dallas, Tex. 



OUCH !

The seed trade didn't get what was 

 wanted when seeds went into the par- 

 cel post. Far from it! The rate on 

 small parcels was doubled. 



Since July 24, 1888, the postage on 

 seeds has been 1 cent for each two 

 ounces or fraction thereof, without re- 

 gard to distance. Under an order is- 

 sued March 14, 1914, by the Post- 

 master General, putting into effect the 

 act of Congress of March 9, 1914, the 

 rate becomes 1 cent for each ounce up 

 to four ounces, regardless of distance, 

 the parcel post zone rates applying on 

 any parcel above four ounces in*^eight. 

 The result is that a 4-ounce parcel of
