P A R C E L POST E L IM IN A T E S THE M ID D LE M AN
Officials o f the United States Department o f Agriculture
have been testing out the parcels post as a means o f marketing
eggs and have found it highly satisfactorily. The department has
shipped 466 lots, consisting o f 9,131 eggs to various parts o f the
nation and upon arrival at destination, only 237 eggs, or three
and one half per cent o f the total were broken. Ten dozen eggs
can be shipped in one container a distance o f 150 miles at a cost
o f 4.7 cents per dozen. This includes the cost o f transportation
end container.
Oregon postal authorities advise that the farmers and farm
ers’ wives o f this state are utilizing the parcels post extensively
in selling farm products direct to the consumers, and excellent re
sults have been obtained.
Last winter when eggs were being sold by retailers at from
50 to 65 cents to the consumer, the farmers were only receiving
20 and 25 cents per dozen for their product, giving the "middleman
from 30 to 40 cents on each dozen eggs he handled. The parcels
post system o f marketing entirely eliminates the middlemen’s
profit and divides the profit o f the middleman among producer
and consumer.
TH E OREGON PO TATO PATCH
The Oregon Irish potato patch contains 49,000 acres this
year and the total production will be approximately 6,311,000
bushels, according to estimates made by the United States Crop
Reporting Board.
The condition o f the crop is 92 per cent o f
normal and the price at the present time is averaging around 46
cents per bushel.
In Continental United States there are 3,708,000 acres plant
ed to this product and this year’s production is estimated at 360,-

The following from the Portland Evening Telegram is worthy
o f reproduction, as it shows the condition o f this country at the
present time:
Here is some simplified financial talk from A. L. Mills, pres
ident o f the First National Bank. Mr. Mills was asked the exact
cause o f the so-called financial stringency. He was requested to
explain it in a manner which would be comprehensible to the mind
not versed in finance. Here is what he said:
“ Under ordinary circumstances, money and the things that
money buys move much in the fashion o f an endless chain. Take,
fo r instance, the Oregon wheat crop. The banks lend money on
it before it is ripe. I f nothing happens, the crop is harvested,
transported to Portland and shipped abroad. The shipper draws
a 60-dav draft on London, and tenders it in payment o f the money
he has borrowed. The draft is discounted, and. while the wheat
is still on its way to Europe, the money for it is back in the United
States. It all works like so much machinery.
“ Now comes the European war and clogs up the machine.
The endless chain is stopped. A most important link is broken.
In a little while shipping will recommence, and the chain will go
rattling around on its journey. Until then, it’s just a question o f
sitting tight and not worrying.”
Oregon banks have ample resources, and have besides un
touched $11,000,000 o f currency provided by the V reeland-Aid -
rich bill. Europe is producing nothing, and the United States is
the storehouse on which it must draw for foodstuffs, as well as
