Parcel Post Marketing.

The Post-Otlicc Department has des-
ignatcd thirty-two cities in various
parts of the country to conduct parcel
post marketing campaigns. The main
difficulty seems to be to get consumers
and producers into contact The De-
partment of Agriculture suggests that
producers write to acquaintance In
towns or cities. that physicians take
an interest in order to get strictly fresh
eggs for their patients, that small adj
vertisemcnts be inserted in city news
papers, and that postmasters make up
lists TO be posted In the various offices
for the mutual service Of city and coun-
try people.
