PRIMARY OBJECT OF
PARCEL POST TRADE
Difficult to Solve Problem Of
Fair Prices.
Producer Seeks to Secure Increased
Prices and Consumer Warts Better
Products-Aereement Should
Be Fair to Both.

(~Prcpared by the United States Depart
ment of A~griculture)
AS the object of parcel post deal
ing is to obtain slightly increased
prices for the producer and better
products at the SAME price, or the
same class of products at lower prices,
for the consumer, the question of ar
irving at prices fair to both is inn
portant, and also difficult, say mar
keting specialists Of the United States
Department of Agriculture.
1t is not likely, at least not for
some time TO come, that eggs will be
marketed so largely by parcel post
that the ordinary market quotations
can not be depended upon in arriving
at prices.
Ii should be comparatively easy for
a producer and a consumer to agree
upon stipulated market quotations as
the basis for determining prices. A

French Birth Rate Increases.

Vital statistics show that the birth
rate increased in France in 1920. At
Marsellles, for the first time in years,
the number of births greatly exceeded
Saone the total of births for the year
was $50 and that of deaths 500 only,
whereas the figures for 1919 had been,
births 420 and deaths 81. In Toulon
the number OF births exceeded by l1S
that of deaths, something that has net
happened for thirty years. From Or
leans satisfactory figures have also
been communicated. and at Dieppe the
number of births exceeded by so per
cent the number of deaths.

Eggs to Be Shipped by Parcel Post
Should Be Packed so They Will No,
Touch Each Other and Break.

consumer may desire 5 dozen eggs q
week, the price to be an ~agreed-upon
figure above the wholesale quotation
for the hest grade of eggs on the mar
ket that week. The necessary rela-
tions in this matter can be maintained
only by %scrupulous honesty and mu,
tual trust.
The nature of the agreement be-
tween the producer and the consum-
err, whether reduced TO writing or not,
should be made to suit the circum-
stances and be fair TO both. Per.
haps the first agreement should be
in writing; but later, If mutual con.
fidence and trust have been thorough.
ly established, the contract may be
verbal.
The matter Of frequency and meth
cd of payment can be arranged in
various ways. For the first agreement
term, which may be a year or less,
cash in advance might be satisfactory,
until a definite system OF orders and
payments Is established.
For the reason that eggs are abund
ant In the spring and scarce in the
autumn and early winter, the con
tract should specify the quantities to
be supplied each week throughout tho
year. The producer making an agree
ment with Il should under
take to replace or allow rebates fol
eggs lost by breakage in shipping.

produces according to the attention
given it. A well-cared-for garden will
produce much higher yields than one
which is neglected. The average re-
turn In money value from a tenth-acre
plot Of ground usually is about $50
for a season.
Fresh Vegetable Supply.
Plenty of fresh vegetables direct
from the garden to the table is of
vastly greater Importance than the
money value. the cutting out Of mid
dleman's profits or transportation
problems. The question of saving and
cost. however, may prove a very i'm
portant factor before the close of an
other year. Already there Is much
unemployment Of labor and the local
or home production of foods in the gar
den is the surest way of safeguarding
the family food supply. 1t is said that
the farmers of the country could cut
themselves off from the rest of the
people and live comfortably for an
Indefinite period, because they can
produce practically everything that
they need. Gardens furnish an i'm
portant part of the living of families
on farms and the same principle will
apply to people who live in cities,
towns, and villages who have access
to a small tract Of land on which to
srow a garden.
There Is nothing connected with the
work Of c%ultivating a garden that has
a tendency to injure the health unless
overexertion is INDUCED In. Persons
who habitually work indoors should
be rather careful when they first be-
gin working In the direct sunshine.
When the work Is first started the
muscles are stih and weakened from
inactivity and 1t Is necessary to 60
slowly until they get into play.
