Parcel Post Changes Raise Weights and Cut Rates
Interstate Commerce Commission approves Postmaster General Burleson’s plan to lift parcel post weight limits in zones one and two from 20 to 50 pounds and raise limits beyond the second to 20 pounds. Rates drop in zones three through six and book parcels eight ounces or less cost one cent per two ounces. Alaska shipments of gold bullion and dust gain access with packages up to 11 pounds. The reform, effective March 16 1914, follows favorable reports on service improvements and higher average parcel weight.

The Washington commission appointed by Governor Lister refines plans for state participation in the 1915 Panama fairs in San Francisco and San Diego. Exhibits cover fisheries and game, mines and metallurgy, and forestry prepared by Elmer E. Johnson of Everett. The work aims to be low cost with assistance from the state fisheries department and university systems at Seattle and Pullman. Publicity seeks to draw 1915 travel to Washington.

Cattle Prices Focus as Agriculture Dept Promotes Grazing Studies
The Department of Agriculture is lauded for national support as it studies western grazing lands opened for settlement. Timely tests show timothy as the best and cheapest of 22 varieties for grazing amid diverse climates. Alfalfa and alsike clover largely fail to satisfy needs. No species suits the hot arid foothills of CA, AZ, NM.
