FARM PRODUCE DELIVERY BY
POSTOFFICE TO Be TRIED OUT
ONE ROUTE FROM MILFORD AND
ANOTHER FROM MIDDLETOWN
Smyrna for a Time Appeared PrOba-
BILE as Experimental Route - Post
office Department Seeks Data

In addition to the Milford route,
choice of which was announced sew
eral weeks ago, a route out of Mid
dletown will be utilized by the Post
office Department on which the TRUCK
and dairy farm produce delivery-to-
customer experiment will be made in
Delaware, it was announced Saturday
by Fourth Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral H. H. Billany. For a time, it ap-
peared probable that an experimental
route would base on Smyrna, but so
far no decision as to this has been
made. The experimental routes in
Delaware are but two of some forty
or fifty to be designated in various
states in an effort to see if such a plan
is feasible. The effort is to find out
by actual demonstration whether the
plan is practical, for the information
of Congress when it comes to decide
whether to put it into effect all over
the country. If successful, and fol-
low-up legislation of general applica-
ton is the result, the effect would be
very farreaching, and mark revOlu-
tionary forward step in economical
transportation of perishable food pro-
ducts at the expense of town and city
dealers and middlemen. At the de-
partment the fixed opinion at the start
is that success of the experiment de-
pends upon the individual carriers
chiefly. Their willing cooperation and
efforts to build up trade on their re-
spective routes are large factors. The
extra compensation Of the carriers is
one-half of the receipts from sale of
postage to cover transportation of the
packages. They are to collect and re-
NIT the customers payment to the
shipper without charge.
