HINTS FOR FARMERS ON
 PARCEL POST MARKETING
Producer Must Offer Goods at Price to Attract Purchasers and
 Serve Carefully,

Washington, Jan. 19-The farmer who wishes to sell his products by parcel post, and the housewife who wishes to use this method of secur- ing country produce for her table will find many useful points in farm CTS bulletin 703. Suggestions fo, Parcel Post Marketing" This bull letin, in addition to explaining the postal rates and measurement limits for parcel post matter, discusses in some detail the type of containers which are most successful and the methods of grading and packing pro- duce, so that it will reach the con- sumer in good condition, and be at tractive in quality and appearance In treating standards for parcel post shipments, the bulletin tells. how to select, handle and pack poultry, and howe to grade and pack the various fruits and vegetables which, the aver4 age farmer is likely to market through the post office.
 The bulletin points out that one of the common obstacles to establishing parcel post communication between farmer and consumer is that the farmer may be unwilling to offer goods at price which attracts the customer, or that the consumer may offer a price lower than tho farmer quote the bulletin:
 Not. only must the farmer have something additional to the usual price to compensate him for the ex- tra work, container, and postage re- quired, but the consumer must also have something to attract him to mar ketting by parcel post. :, Tn determin- ing what the price shall be, both the farm price and the retail price paid by the consumer when he markets in the ordinary way should be taken into consideration. The consumer must receive either better article at the usual retail price-or an article of the grade usually purchased at some concession in price.
 "It is probable that the point which will make the strongest appeal to the average consumer is that he can se- cure by parcel post fresher bright CT, more attractive. and thus possibly a better product than he can obtain otherwise.
 'sThe average producer, as rule, does not realize the importance of appearance as factor in selling goods and frequently is careless and indifferent in preparing produce for market. The consumer, on the other hand, relies very largely upon ap- pearance in selecting food supplies, and unattractive articles are passed by promptly.
 "A personal acquaintance should be established between producer and consumer, when they come into busi- ness contact. This will help a great deal in furthering parcel post mar keting, and also will eliminate many of the misupderstandings which may occur from time to time. A definite understanding should exist as to the duties of each in regard to remit tances, claims for damaged or spoil ed produce, and the preservation and return of containers"
