FROM FARMER TO CONSUMER.
Parcel Post to Be Utilized Throughout
New England.

| The postmaster of Boston has been di
rected to obtain list of all farmers
who desire to be placed in direct touch
with consumers of farm products in or
der that the facilities of the parcel post
may be extended as rapidly as possible
as medium by means OF which the
producer may deal directly with the con-
sumner through the mails.
The plan of the postmaster general is
to have the postmaster of Boston secure
names of farmers who desire to send
their product by parcel post, prepare
printed lists of these names and send
these lists to consumers who desire to
order direct from the farmers.
These lists will show the kinds of
product each farmer desires to sell, I'M
der three heads-butter, eggs and gen
eral produce.
In discussing this plan of the postoffice
department, the first assistant postmas-
ter general has issued the following
statement:
"By the use of the lists the city con-
sumner will be able to get in touch with
a farmer who will fill his weekly or
ders for butter and eggs and other farm
produce. The consumer will receive the
produce fresh from the country and the
personal relationship established will no
doubt tend to improve the quality The
farmer will be relieved of carrying his
produce to market, as the rural carrier
will make daily collections at the farm
er's own door of these retail shipments
to city consumers.
''The point has been raised" said Mr.
Roper, that difficulty will be expert
enced in the return of hampers and 9TH
er containers. This problem does not
appear to me as difficult of solution.
The farmer may use inexpensive ham
pers whose value would not warrant
their return, or he may use the higher
grade hampers for which he may in
clude an additional charge to be credit
ed to the consumer upon the return of
the hamper by parcel post.
"The postmaster general has the firm
conviction that this plan is the one
thing necessary to enable the people of
this country to enjoy the potential bene-
fits of the parcel post. No one has ever
questioned the possibility of reducing
the cost of living by establishing direct
relations between the ultimate consum.
er and the original producer.
complete means Tor such direct
transportation was provided for the first
time by the esta blishment of the do
nestle parcel post, but there has been
lacking an agency by means of which
the individual producer could get in
touch with the individual consumer. The
postmaster generals plan is designated
to provide this agency for the most eco
nomical distribution of those products
which are consumed in the form and
in which they are produced"
Farmers who desire to have their
names included in the lists to be fur
nished to consumers, are requested to
write to the postmaster at Boston,
Mass, stating the kind of produce they
have for sale, either butter, eggs, or
general produce, or all three.
