FROM FARM TO Table
Better Methods of Using the Par
- Gel Post Are Sought.
Uncle Sans Experts Trying to Work
Out New Ways Of Transporting
Agricultural Products.

Officials of Uncle Sans department
of agriculture, who have striven long
to bring the producer and consumer to-
gether for the sale Of farm products,
are now trying to work out better
methods of transportation.
Although the marketing Of farm
produce by parcel post is relatively
new in the United States, ii is, In fact,
only q special case of direct dealing be-
tween producer and consumer, which
was the very earliest type Of market
ing. Only the transportation medium
is new in parcel-post trading. This
is to certain extent paralleled by ex-
press, which has been available and
has been utilized by some farmers for
many years. Even with the older
forms Of direct dealing, in which
sales are made from house to house
or through farmers markets, parcel
post marketing has points in common
In that the actual producer Of the
goods is known to the consumer of
them, and the satisfaction or dissat-
isfactiOn of the latter has a direct
and potent effect on the success Of the
formers business.
Quite naturally, in spite of these
general similarities many new prob
lens in the marketing of farm pro-
duce were created when the mail sys-
tenn was made available for transpor-
tation of relatively bulky commodities,
all post Offices and rural routes there
by being made shipping agencies. This
was in striking contrast to the facili-
ties furnished by the older transpor-
tation systems, which the farmer could
use only by making trip to rails
road or express Office. Many of the
problems, great many of which still
exist, have been attacked by the Office
of markets of the department, which
has made it's work hundreds Of ex-
detrimental shipments of various COM
modities over varying distances under
different seasonal and other conditions
and has studied methods of grading
and packing and of transacting bust
ness.
Success in parcel-post marketing, ex-
perts of the office have found during
their studies, demands that the farm
er continue to give thought to details
after proper preparation of his goods
for shipment. The mere placing Of the
packages in the mails at any time Is
not sufficient, they say. Mail SEIZED.
ules should be carefully looked into
and the commodities should be started
on their journey. if possible, so that
they will travel chiefly at night and
reach their destination early the fol
lowing day. Such methods, it is said
have been worked out by the farmers
who are carrying on the most success
full businesses with the city people
Commodities travelling at night thu:
utilize natural refrigeration, since thu
nights are usually colder than the
days. 1t is especially important, it |!

"They can race against each other
If they want to-" said the first Arbu-
tus. Their leaders can arrange that.
We have to make our plans first as
we were the first to peep out and say,
Good morning."
"Your scheme sounds very fine"
said the first Violet. "But We'll have

comfortable and the leaves so lovely
that the little Violets are perfectly
happy sleeping beneath and dreaming

TITS the same way with mine," said
the first Arbutus. "They never like
to come out above the leaves at any

want to pick us and take US home al

"But the race sounds pretty nice"
said the first Violet. "The Violet fam

flowers and the trees, and flowers In

You see In Flowerland the little

The only way they can tell people
they love the earth and the sun and
the soft rain Is by smelling ever 30
sweetly, and giving their fragrance to
the Children and Grownups who pick
them.
They are the messages Of the flow
ers. And sweeter messages could hard
ly be found. Those who cannot even
give such messages try to look beau

still retains his position with the

and will probably spend a day or
two each week at that place
looking after the affairs of this
bank which is under the same
management.

THOS. o. LUSTER

mos. y. Luster, for the past
two years editor and publisher
of the Carrizozo Outlook, died at
his home here Tuesday afternoon
at 1880 O'Clock following a linger-
ing illness extending over a per-
iod of five months.
Although for some time it had
been realized that Mr.. Luster
was in precarious condition and
that his recovery was very
doubtful, it was not until the
past two weeks that it became
apparent his departure from
this earth was so near. Every
thing that a devoted, faithful
and untiring wife and staunch
and true friends could do for
him was done, but to no avail.
He was hopeful until the very
last and bore his sufferings pa
tiently.
Thos. o. Luster was born in
Benton, Illinois, July %, 1886,
and was the youngest son of Mr..
and Mrs. A, j. Luster of that
city. On November Goth 1911
he was united in marriage to
Miss Hannah Duncan, of Muir
physboro, Illinois, and soon there
after he came to Carrizozo, then
the typical young man, to grow
up with the great West. About
six months later Mrs. Luster
Joined him and they have since

masthead of this popular publi-
cation as its editor and publisher. |
He has made hundreds of friends |

strongest boosters and most
citizens.
