FROM FARM TO KITCHEN.

Express companies are becom
ing interested in an extension OF
the farmers market, especially in
early fruits and vegetables, dairy
products, poultry and other farm
products. so that they can be car.
ried direct from the farmer s
gate to the city consumer S kitch-
en- door.
When the plans which are pro-
jected by certain express com
panies are fully matured it will
mean the addition of millions of
dollars to the income Of the south
ern farmer. It would mean that
much that goes to waste now
would be turned into money.
To bring about this most desir-
able result, it is important that
the farmers in every community
should get in touch with the
agents the difficulties to the pro-
posed exchange Of products direct
to the consumer, that can be re-
moved by a thorough understand
ing between the farmer and the
express company.
The Southern Express Co., now
issues a pamphlet designed to aid
in the marketing of the products
produced on the southern farm.
The agents are told that they can
not aid better in developing the
trauc as through placing the con-
or dealers. in direct COM
munication with producers. This
company publishes list of deal
ers. shippers and growers of or
anges, lemons. lines, pineapples,
etc. in its territory.
If other express companies will
follow this lead. and will 60 a
step farther. and to city consum-
,rs name the cost of different pro-
lucts. express prepaid, the last
obstacle to the exchange will dis
appear. and householders will be
lble to supply themselves through
lirect orders to the express COM
'anies.-Southern indicator.
