In fact, the government will more than
keep pace with the increased volume OF
trade.
1--WE have a very large refrigerator
in the postoffice to take care of food
stuffs that arrive on night trains. Per-
sons need not worry themselves over the
possibility that the foodstuffs they pur-
chase a hundred or more miles away will
spoil, as it is shipped in refrigerator cars
and the moment 1t arrives in Birming-
ham IT is placed in the government ice
box and held there until placed in a
cooled delivery wagon.
I'm my opinion, the very greatest serv-,
ice that could be rendered the farmers
and truck growers of this state and the
ultimate consumers is to get them to-
gether through a medium of fair and
equal trading. Alabama can raise any
kind of truck, but the great trouble Is
for the farmers to find suitable mar
ket Through the parcel post the govern
ment offers him the consumers in all the
large cities and we are doing all we
can to get the public and farmers on
an equal basis for their mutual protec-
tiOn."

HIGH COST OF LIVING
CAN Be REDUCED BY
PARCELPOST SYSTEM
Assistant Postmaster Pre-
sents Plan to Bring Farm
Products to Consumer
FARMERS WHO HAVE
PRODUCE FOR SALE
Government to Aid Farmers and
Truck Growers in Finding
Direct Market For Their
Products

How to reduce the high cost of living?
Assistant Postmaster Edward D. Nor
man stated yesterday that the easiest
way he knew of to reduce the high cost
of living was to bring the farmers of
the state and consumer together through
the medium of the United States parcel
post system.
Mr.. Norman said that the high cost of
living could be reduced a third by 6i-
rect dealing with the farmers of the
state.
Fresh eggs, fresh butter, nicely dressed
chickens, potatoes, cabbages, speckled
hogs, cows, beets, beans, onions, dried
fruit, syrup, pork sausage, lard, straw
berry plants, peanuts, popcorn, sorghum
ducks, woods, hides, peaches. okra, canned
fruits and jams, watermelons, cucumbers,
cantaloupes, turnips, apples and dew
berries and everything imaginable in the
food line can be offered to the house
wives of Birmingham and the district at
a third less prices than can be. procured
in the markets by direct dealing with the
farmers of the state.
Mr.. Norman stated yesterday that the
farmers Of Alabama can raise anything
in the food line, but the great trouble
has been in securing a market.
He also said it had come to his atten-
ton that thousands of dollars of farm
produce was destroyed every season in
Alabama through the fact that no mar
ket could be found, and wherever there
was market the prices offered were

GOVERNMENT TO AID

however, WllIl the coming OIL the paFCel
post system the United States govern
ment has begun to take an active inter-
est in the plight of the farmers and the
high price of farm produce in the cities.
The government is now getting up lists
of farmers who have produce for sale
and of persons to whom this farm food
stuffs can be sold. These lists are in
terchanged. the farmers getting the
names of those who want to buy and
the buyers getting the names of the
farmers and the produce at their disposal.
The trading then goes on directly by
the parcel post system.
In zones one and two, or within a
radius of 200 miles Of Birmingham, the
rate of postage on the parcel post is
s cents for the first pound and then
1 cent for each additional pound. AS
shipments are seldom made in less than
five-pound cartons, the most of post
age amounts to cents. which makes
the price of the foodstuffs delivered
fresh at the homes still about a third
less than it could be purchased at the
markets.
For instance, eggs are now selling at
40 cents a dozen. From the farmers
fresh eggs can be secured at various
quotations ranging from Is to % cents
a dozen and can be shipped into Bir-
mingham on the same day ordered.
Thus, if housewife orders a carton
of four dozen eggs from Columbia
which will weigh about six pounds the
entire cost delivered to any home in
any part Of the city will be about
81, while if the same number of eggs
were purchased in the city it would
cost about $1.60. according to the most
&c.
trading with the farmers direct is thus
apparent.
ALABAMA HAS NO CHANCE
1t was also stated yesterday that
the only way for the farmer to sell
his farm products was by selling them
directly to the consumer, as eggs, but
ter and other articles were brought in
from distant points, such as Missouri,
Iowa and Tennessee.
Yesterday afternoon Assistant POST
MASTER Norman explained to re-
porter the workings of the parcel post
system and of the manner In which the
government sought to aid the farm
ers by bringing them in closer touch
with the people in the city.
Il buy everything that we eat at
home'' said Mr.. Norman, through the
parcel post from the farmers direct. 1t
cost of living and the stuff we buy Is
fresh and wholesome and of the highest
quality.
Anything in the line of farm produce
can be purchased through the parcel post
in any part of Alabama and can be de-
livered in the majority of cases on the
same day ordered right at the doors of
the homes in the city at an insignificant
cost of postage.
ITO aid in the movement to get the
farmers and the consumers together we
have prepared lists of names. We have
a list of farmers and what they have
to sell and we have another list of per-
sons in this city who want to buy. These
lists are free to the general public and
will be given upon request.
I'VE have four parcel post deliveries
daily in the city and two in the suburbs.
However, as the parcel post business in
creases. deliveries will be more frequent.
