fact that the lack OF phosphorous IN the

10 seems to be well established that this

met by the use Of an organic phosphate
known throughout English speaking cOun-

know to be fresh. Many farm

have regular supplies of high
grade produce, the quality of

printed stationery bearing the name
of the farm, with envelopes to match.
If the farm is not named an appropri-
ate name should be selected A sim
pie; though attractive and businesslike
letterhead can be printed without
much cost. 1t should give the name
and location of the farm, the farmers
name, and a simple statement of the
business. Elaborate and highly col
ored letterheadS embellished with Illus
trations of buildings, fruits or animals
should be avoided.
Blank statement forms or invoices
to fill in and inclose with shipments
should be supplied. Persons receiving
produce by mail wish to know the
price of the shipment, and by the use
of printed statement forms the ship
per can furnish this information with
out much trouble

Each parcel must bear the name and
address of the shipper. the name and
address of the person for whom in

1t is best to have this Information
written or stamped directly on the
outer wrapper or contafner- IF the
only mark of identity of producer and
consumer is on a tag and the tag is
lost, the parcel can neither be deIiv-
cred nor returned to the sender.
Producers who have business enough
to justify them may secure gummed
labels worded somewhat as follows:

The wording may be changed to suit
the product shipped, changing Eggs

These labels, if properly applied,
should not come off. They will serve
as advertisement and may result IN
inquiries from other customers.
Business Relations With Customers.
Once contact has been made and
shipping begun it is important that
proper business relations be estab-
lished and maintained, for on these de-

it important for the producer to use
