PARCEL P0ST
MARKETING

Washington, D. c., Jan. 2o.-The
farmer who wishes to sell his pro-
ducts by parcel post, and the house
wife who wishes to use this method
Of securing country produce for her
table, will find many useful points
in Farmers Bulletin 703, "Sugges-
lions for Parcel Post Marketing"
This bulletin, in addition to explain
ing the postal rates and measure
ment limits for parcel post matter,
discusses in some detail the types Of
containers which are most successful
and the methods Of grading and pack
ing produce, so that it will reach the
consumer 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
how to grade and pack the various
fruits and vegetable which the aver
age farmer is likely to market thru
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 far
mer may be unwilling to offer goods
at a price which attracts the custom
er, or that the customer may offer a
price lower than the farmer can obtain
at a local market. To quote the bull
letin:
"Not only must the farmer have
something additional to the usual
price to compensate him for the extra
work, container, and postage required
but the consumer must also have
something to attract him to market
ing by parcel post. In determining
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 a better article at the
usual retail price or an article Of the
grade usually purchased at some
concession in price.
ut is probable that the point which
will make the strongest appeal to the
average consumer is that he can Sc.
cure by parcel post a fresher, bright
er more attractive, and thus possibly
better product than he can obtain
otherwise.
"The average producer, Is q rule

Parties holding mortgage on grain
warehouses and grain therein have
sometimes attempted, through assign
ment by mortgagor, to collect the in
surance on stored grain. The railroad
commission holds that insurance on
stored grain in the warehouse, or in
transit, is a trust fund for the benefit
Of the owner of the grain.
The Devils Lake world and inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1915-1920, 1916-01-20

According to recent ruling of the
railroad commission warehouses can
not charge storage on grain or for ele-
waiting it during the first 20 days, if
the warehouseman buys the grain. If
the grain is redelivered to the holder
of the storage ticket these charges
may be made.

RULES PASSED
BY RAILROAD i
COMMISSION

In a number of cases where grain
dealers have ceased business through
sale Of elevator, retirement, or in case
Of fire or insolvency, they have ex-
perienced difficulty in calling in out
standing storage tickets particularly
on a rising market, the ticket holders
desiring to hold for higher prices. The
railroad commission has ruled that a
dealer under such circumstances may
deposit in the name Of the ticket hold
er in some local bank Of good repute
the value Of the outstanding grain on
his storage tickets on the day he qpit
business and the holder Of the ticket
is compelled after due notice to accept
this price and surrender his ticket, as
the commission holds he cannot specu-
late on the warehouseman's account
after the warehouseman has gone out
Of business. In several instances ele-
vator companies have failed or an ele-
vator has burned and it's owner has
not resumed business. A question has
arisen in such cases as to the date out
standing storage tickets became pay
able, as that date governs the price to
be paid. The railroad commission
holds that the date the warehouse was
closed or burned shall be the date for
REDEMPTION of tickets.
The Devils Lake world and inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1915-1920, 1916-01-20

In. the past it has been the practice
in many instances, for the railway
companies to charge the cost Of x
tending industry tracks to elevator
sites granted after the original side
track has been built. The railroad
commission holds that it is a duty of
a railway company to furnish trackage
of it's own sufficient to take care of it's
traffic and the industries contributing
thereto, and that it would be mani
testify unfair to permit a company to
furnish trackage free to the elevators
on the siding built at an earlier date
and to require a new elevator CON-
pany to pay for the extension Of the
industry track to be used in caring
for general traffic. This ruling is
based upon the law Of 1890, chapter
189, section 8, which requires every
railway to furnish reasonable side
track facilities" for elevators and
warehouses upon it's right of way. In
several instances the railroad commits
sion has secured refund of sums paid
for such industry track extensions.
The railroad commission has held
that buying grain, freight off," is
not illegal, unless it can be proved
it has been done to put a competitor
out of business.
In the matter of car distribution
the railroad commission rules that
empty cars must be delivered to ele-
vators and others according to the
amount of grain offered for shipment
in good faith. In other words, if n
elevator has five times as much grain
to offer for shipment on a certain day
as another elevator, it is entitled to
five times as many cars as the other
houses, and in general practice of ap-
portioning the cars equally among
the various houses, regardless of the
amount of grain each of them has to
ship, does not come within the COM
missions Interpretation of the law.
The Devils Lake world and inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1915-1920, 1916-01-20

The bond furnished the state by
elevator companies is supposed to take
care Of all stored grain received by a
company. It frequently happens that
the thrush Of grain to the elevator
makes it necessary to ship out some or
all Of the stored grain, and a question
has arisen to what extent this may be
done. The railroad commission takes
the view that elevators may ship out
storage grain to the amount Of the
bond, (5,000) and no more, and that
whenever the stored grain on hand and
the amount Of the bond fails to equal
the amount Of all stored grain, ID

Parties have frequently %endeavored
to inspect the books of elevator COM
panies for one reason or another. The
railroad commission has held that
ouch records are private and not open
to the public.

Heretofore the railroad commission
has held that where one elevator in a
town does not charge storage Oil stor-
ed grain, competitors may follow suit,
but in no case can free ST. rage be
given one person and not another.
The subject of storage will be made a
matter of conference by the railroad
commission with the grain dealers of
the state in the near future, and a
rule will be laid down as TO whether or
not storage charges shall be made
compulsory in all cases. The law is
ambiguous on this point.
The Devils Lake world and inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1915-1920, 1916-01-20

Favorable decisions have been made
by the courts in cases brought by
holders of grain storage tickets
against the bond securing the same.

In this way delays and expense Of

both parties to the issue during the
past two or three years.

prohibits the issuance by grain eleva-
tor companies of storage tick is ex-
eept for grain actually delivered. Ere
quently banks or others have ad-
vanced money on storage tickets is
sued as security for the loan by the
elevator company which did not rep
resent an actual delivery Of grain.
The railroad Commission holds this
an illegal transaction.
The Devils Lake world and inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1915-1920, 1916-01-20

Special tickets for grain stored in
special bins and in different color from
the ordinary ticket is permitted by the
railroad commission.
The Devils Lake world and inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1915-1920, 1916-01-20

The railroad commission holds it to
be unlawful for elevator companies to
place on storage tickets any notation
modifying the grade fixed or liability
incurred.
