WHAT THE POST OFFICE
DEPARTMENT Is DOING
FOR THE FARMERS

The following extracts from a let
ter written by Postmaster General
Burleson 10 Congressman Rainey OF
Illinois shows what the post office
department is doing and trying to
do for the farmers.
The United States parcel post is
handling approximately l.IO0.0o0,-
900 parcels year, or over 10000
600 a month. 1t is impossible to
state the proportion Of this business
which Is distinctly rural. 1t is un-
doubtedly true, however, that the
chief function OF the government s
express service has proved to be ag-
ricultural. That is, the government
Is the principal express carrier now
operating between city and country
and vice versa. The bulk OF the par
eel post business is OF this nature.
whereas the bulk OF the business Of
the private express companies passes
between city and city.
The growth or the parcel post as
q medium OF exchange between city
and country has raised questions
which are now more or less bitterly
In controversy. Retailing organiza-
lions OF the cities have attacked the
farm-to-table feature OF the parcel
service which involves direct eY-
change by government express OF
farm products between the rural pro
Queer and the urban consumer. \
second and a larger controversy has
to do with the effect OF the develop
ment of mail order business upon the
country merchant.
Does the farmer want his new ex-
press acilities-whiCh he did net
have before-taken away? Is he not
better off now than he was before2
is he not brought into closer rela-
ton, into almost direct touch, with
city life? Has the farmer not been
the entire social and business fabric
or our country? And does not this
make for the intelligent development
OF the farmer, and also make the con
ditions surrounding life on the farm
more interesting and attractive? All
these questions are applied from the
purely business one OF whether the
parcel business tends to make the
things which the farmer must buy
cheaper, and to expand and improve
the market for the things which he
sells. Undoubtedly the parcel post
does do both OF these latter things.
And the country farmer is not the
only gamer because OF the parcel
post. The country merchant is Of
fered new facilities, too, which may
more than offset the business secured
by the mail order houses OF the large
cities. Because or the parcel post he
ls enabled to handle merchandise
heretofore out OF his reach, and nat
urally the scope Of people to whom
he can possibly sell Is greatly en-
larged.
In many sections farmers within
second-zone distance OF large cities
have demonstrated that the farm-to-
table selling by parcel pas. is huge
success. In a number of cities from
three to 500 packages of farm pro
duce are passing through the post
offices daily. The new service has
gained a foothold, and its expansion
Into genuine economic proportions is
assured.
The following letter addressed by a
farmer to former Postmaster Prae-
ger of Washington, d. c., reflects the
attitude of practically every farmer
toward the parcel post:
ITO my mind nothing has ever
been inaugurated in America which
