Average 167 Each Day. 1
In order to stimulate the "farm-to-
the-table" movement in the parcel post
division of the Postoffice Department,
the Portland Postoffice has acted pur
suant to a questionaire from the Post
master-General as to the extent of this
business, and has discovered after a
six-day investigation that 167 pack
ages of farm products are passing
through the Portland office each day.
It is the Intention of the postorciee
Department, eays Postmaster Myers, to
do everything possible to create a mar
ket for the small producer of all sorts
of farm and dairy products, and if
possible lower the cost of living.
A list of producers has Just been
made up by Postmaster Myers and con
tains all the information desired by
the customer as to where he can best
place his order for eggs, butter, cheese.
vegetables, meat, preserves ana pre
served fruits, fresh fruit and other
edibles that can be sent via parcel post.
During the past six days there have
been 1005 parcel post packages han
dled by the local Postoffice that con
tained "farm-to-the-table" products.
Two years ago less than one-third that
number was received.
The number received Is now at its
lowest ebb of the season, says Mr.
Myers, as there Is little fresh fruit or
vegetables and other such commodities
as are handled in the Spring and bum
mer months are scarce.
Today our special ad
vertisement is for the
