ment of Agriculture.)
One important requirement for par
eel post shipping and marketing is a
proper and satisfactory %container.
Sometimes the consumer can secure
containers more readily and economi-
cally than the producer. Those with
handles are much less likely to be dam
aged in transit in the mails than those
which are not thus supplied and which
are likely to be tossed or thrown or
handled by the string or Irvine used in
tying them. A bamboo basket serves
the purpose very well and may be used
a long time. Ordinary splint baskets
made Of strips of veneer may also be
used, and if they a be secured at a

each shipment is more economical than
having them returned, unless they are
sent back in lots of ten or more un-
der one cover This, Of course, neceH-
states usins them without a wooden
handle, in which case a heavy Irvine
should be used for a handle. This
Irvine can be united and the baskets
used, or placed In one another, for re-
turn shipment. If a basket with a
wooden handle is used, care should be
taken to see it is securely nailed, not
only 1T the rim of the basket but
farther down toward the bottom, so as
to prevent undue leverage which may
break loose the mailing.

and present a satisfactory appearance.
The pack should be regular, of as near
ly uniform produce as possible, and of
full measure according to the guam
tity ordered. A little practice will en-
able almost anyone to pack a basket
or container of any kind in a satisfac-

The bureau of aircraft production
of the war department has requested
the Red Cross TO give publicity to the
vital need of walnut for use in max
ing airplane propeller blades and gun
stocks. All chapters in central divis-
ion are requested to see that this need
is made known as widely as possible
by posting this notice on their bulletin
boards and Including this item in the
Red Cross news printed in local news
papers.
Walnut has been found to be the
best o for propeller blades and gun
stocks. Trees are found throughout
the United States, usually in small
groups, and the government wants in
formation as to their location, to give
the owners an opportunity to demon
strate their patriotism In a practical
way.
A part only of the lumber from each
tree can be used and the government
cannot buy the trees direct from the
owners. The trees should be sold to
a sawmill having a government con-
tract for lumber for propeller blades
and gun stocks. If owners IF trees
dc not know of such mills. they may
write to the Ordnance Department,
Procurement Division, Small Arms
Section, Washington, d. c., giving num-
Der and location of the trees, and they
Will De notified how to dispose of them.
