charges and shrinkage. BY a more
seasonal and balanced production it
would be possible to avoid Cutting the
market. 1t would be possible to main
tain a full supply of the products for
which there is strong demand and
thereby keep in this territory the mon
ey which too often has brought the
same products from distance.
Information furnished by the farm
ers will be available to the Farm Blu
able to give suggestions as to what 10
grow, how much to plant and how best
to market it locally 1t also will be
possible for local retailers, wholesalers,
managers of restaurants, etc, to secure
information as to where they. probably
" ould be able to secure a sufficient sup
ply for their needs.
The merchants QUESTIONABLE calls
for the approximate amount sold, or
obtained from their own farms, from
farmers or wholesalers, of the following
products: Potatoes, butter, beans,
eggs, apples, cabbages, onions, turnips,
beets, carrots, parsnips, cottage cheese,
maple syrup, maple sugar.
Questionnaires sent to the farmers
call for information as to the approx
mate amounts sold, and how much of
the total was sold direct to consumer,
how much to retailer and how much
to wholesaler, where sold in Brattle
boro, and how much was sold elsewhere.
This list includes potatoes, butter,
beans, eggs, apples, cabbages, onions,
turnips, beets, carrots, parsnips, cot
tage cheese, maple sugar, maple syrup,
beef, hogs, lamb, veal, chickens and
turkeys.
Three prime objects enter into the
proposed movement-To promote near
by agriculture through better balanced
production; to facilitate distribution
and provide for adequate storage and
marketing facilities; to benefit the con-
sumner by providing products in better
condition ut saving in transportation
| costs.
| The Farm Bureau and improved mar.
| keting committee feel confident that
with the cooperation of the merchants
and farmers it will be possible to dc
away with the complaint which here
| tofore has been heard from the farmer
| to the effect that the town is q pool
market. and from the merchants who
| claim that the farmers do not raise the
things they want to buy or produce
| them when their customers want them
Such a condition obviously means thai
the customer is obliged to take what HI
can get regardless of the quality o
cost of the product. This condition
cannot, of course, be avoided alto
/ gether. but the forces which are work
1 ing together to bring about improved
/ conditions are confident that it will b,
/ possible for the farmer to feel thai
Brattleboro is better market and tina
the Farm Bureau can induce the farme
to raise those things which are in de
mand in this market 1t also may b.
possibles to provide some storage facili
ties or reach some other solution of TIL
problem.

HOMES ON OUTSKIRTS ..
PLACED ON THE ROUTES
Volume of Mail Necessitates New
Change in Postal Service

For about two years the Willmar post
ONCE has been trying to get increased
carrier service commensurate with the
amount of mail handled, but we have
run up against the fact that our city
population is not large enough for five
regular carriers. while the mail handled
is entirely too much for four. Last fall
the Inspector sent in a recommendation
for five regular carriers, but it was
turned down. This summer, after spen-
ding week studying the situation, he
sent in a proposition to place some of
the outlaying districts on the rural
routes, and providing for tive hours
parcel delivery by a special Carrier U.S.
ing auto or horse drawn vehicle The
proposition for rural carrier service has
been adopted, effective Sept. l. and we
expect the parcel delivery to b. placed
in effect on October 1st. The following
are the districts to be served by rural
delivery:
Carrier l will deliver to people living
on Ella Ave and adjoining streets, west
of 18th street. running up 18th street to
Ella Ave., thence west one block and re-
turning to his regular route.
Carrier will deliver to all of Sperry's
Addition, then go south on 4th St. East
to Augusta avenue, east>on said avenue
to 9Th st. East. then back on Augusta
avenue to 1st St. and south on 1st St.
to Limit avenue.
carrier will go down 5th St. West
beginning delivery at Grace St. and con-
tinuing to the old Haley house, the re-
trace to Limit avenue, thence east to
first street.
Carrier 4 will begin delivery on Trott
avenue at 18th street west and take all
of the city carrier route west of that
point. Parties living on side streets
will place their delivery boxes on Trott
avenue or 18th. St.
Carrier will deliver on Becker aven-
ue East on the first part of his route,
returning to town on Litchfield avenue.
whom have no delivery now, will be ta-
ken care of by this change in rural
routes. All of them will get their mall
stead Of having to wait sometimes till
after noon, as is the case now, and the
delivery will include all parcels, which
they now have to call for at the post
office.
While this service is not what we
wanted, it seems to be the only practi-
cable way Of giving the outlying dist
riots prompt service in the morning.
| would suggest that all parties who
take a morning paper from the cities
change to the evening edition. In this
way they will get the latest news, and
set 1T earlier than the city carriers can
deliver 1T to anyone, as the rural carriers
leave the office earlier than the city car
rlers do The morning papers do not
come here until in the afternoon, and
would then lie in the office till next NOR
ming.
