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.
It is preferable to produce infertile ej

lace, where they can be kept as cool
s possible. As washing removes the
lucilaginous coating of eggs and
pens the pores of the shell, it should
ot be practiced in the cave of eggs
itenced for high-class trade. 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

container made of double-faced, cor- 1
rugated pasteboard, metal, wood or t

"Eggs." Eggs in parcels s
weighing more than 20 pounds are *
accepted for mailing to offices in the
first and second zones when packed in *
crates, boxes, buckets, or other con- *
tainers having tight bottoms to pre- ^
vent the escape of anything from the

It is advisiable that square block tis- j 1
sue .paper, which comes in packages of J
500 sheets each, soft wrapping paper, (
0" newspaper should be used around (
each egg, as otherwise there is danger ,
of breakage in handling. Average ]
hens' eggs will weigh about 2 ounces I
apiece, or between 2 and 3 pounds a J
dozen, when properly packed for mail-1
