FLOWERS AN ARGUMENT
. FOR A PARCELS POST
Supt. Skinner Thinks 1t Would
Make Industrial School
SeIf-Supporting.

Carnations We're used yesterday to aug
ment the arguments in favor of a parcels
post presented 10 the Senate committee
on post offices. The hearing room, that
more than once has had tobacco-snloke
odor almost thick enough to cut. smelled
like a florist shop, and each senator who
attended the hearing had carnation in
his buttonhole or on the table in front of
him.
The flowers We're raised by the boys of
the Industrial Home School, and beauties
they were.
Wants Larger Market.
c. W. Skinner, superintendent Of the
school, appeared before the committee to
urge the establishment of parcels post
as means of shipping flowers; and two
of the boys of the school. Leon Halsiip
and Lyle Henry, accompanied him. with
their hands full of the flowers. and dis
| tributed them to the members of the COM
mittee and others attending the hearing.
Supt. Skinner told the committee that
the school could be made Self-supportinS
through the raising of flowers if that
product could be shipped by parce.s post
/ to other cities. The boys now raise be-
| tween S. 900 and $4,000 worth of flowers,
and Mr.. Skinner believes they could pro-
duce several thousand dollars worth more
IL a larger market was made available
! through a parcels post.
Open Markets of Cities.
Mr. Skinner also pointed out that diff
ferent sections of the country are espe-
cially well adapted to the raising of diff
ferent kinds Of flowers. But many OF
these sections are out of the range of the
express companies collection service. If
parcels post system was established.
however they would be reached by rural
route carriers: and the raising II MOWERS
would he greatly Increased in those sec
tons because the parcels post would open
the market in the big cities to the flowers.
In France, the committee has been m
formed, the shipping of flowers hr parcels
post is an important feature OF the postal
service. About 81, 10000 worth ri flowers
are shipped in a year by parcels post IN
France IT is stated: and in some cases
special trains solely to carry flowers TO
Paris are necessary.
