PARCEL POST BRINGS CITY I' MARKET TO PRODUCER a n Small Flock Owners Can Sell Eggs 0 _ Advantageously by Developing _ n Special Trade in City " e If the rural delivery is at your ? door, the city market is there for your ^ small produce, say specialists of the United States Department of AgriI ii culture. At present many producers u are neglecting entirely this market- el ing medium or are not utiizing it to a the extent they might. Wider use of the parcel post for marketing eggs c' is particularly advisable for the small J& producer who can easily and advan-'a tageously build up a direct trade with 01 the city. When more proctace is mar-,w keted from the farm to the city there ai will be less complaint on the part of ** the producer that the prices he must ai sell for are too low, and less on tiv jH part of the consumer that the price* s' he pays are too high.

Soiled ggs should be used at home or dis Med of otherwise than to a parceiost customer. If there is any doubt concerning le freshness orquality of the eggs, ley should be candled, so that all ggs showing any defect may be held t home, say poultry specialists of the nited States Department of Arri ixlture. For parcel-post shipment it is isential that uniform containers and x uniform pack should be used, as therwise the package wiil not wear ell, nor will they look attractive and ppeal to the fancy trade. Furtherlore, the containers should be stout rid durable, so as to make it worth hile to return them as "empties" for ibsequent use. According to post-office regulations, jgs will be accepted for local devery when they are so packed in a sisket or other container as to pre;nt damage to other mail matter, ggs to be sent beyond the local ofce are accepted for mailing regardt \ UN WI ?
