LA PLATA COUNTY DEMOCRACY TURNS DOWN
THE MORNING BOOMERANG WEST NOMINATED
GET EGGS BY MAIL.

WASHINGTON. ID. C.. Sept li-Live
chickens, day old chickens, eggs and
other fragile objects as well as general
farm and garden products will be ad-
mltted to the parcels post along with
other merchandise when it is instituted
the first of Janaury
The schedule is to be so arranged that
city dwellers may get eggs and butter
also chickens and other produce direct
from the farmer b mail This will be
an important feature of the parcels
post Eggs and chickens and produce
are carried by the posts of European
nations. and the same conditions will
apply here. Not only will the govern
men carry these things. but an indemnI-
ty will be provided for their loss or dam
age in transit.
Poultry dealers have sent statistics
to the department showing how eggs and
chickens may be handled and carried
This Is particularly true of the day old
chick distributors who run the biggest
hatcheries in the country big busi-
ness in these days of old chickens has
sprung up throughout the country.
Eggs are set in incubators having a
capacity of rs many as 100000 eggs The
day the chicks are Matched they are
shipped In this condition they can go
four days in transit without food or
drink and poultry dealers ship chicks in
stead of eggs to the small fsnciers and
small raisers
The receipts of country butter and
eggs by mail no doubt VIII prove an IN
teresting novelty for housewives. In ad-
dltIon they may send to gardners an
order early In the week and get ON Sat
urday In return mail their supply of veg
etables and other table stuff.
Not only is provision being made for
the handling OF these things, but It is
expected n c. o. n. system viii be ar
ranged for the collection by carrier of
the merchants cost as well as the mail
chdrges. thereby furnishing a cash col
lection agency for the farmers.
These provisions will. of coure work
In the opposite direction. and urban bus
mess houses may do a mail order busi-
ness heretofore impossible
The commission planning the parcels
post is in daily session at the postoffice
department. working out the changes
that will come about with the innovn-
tion of this system
