Thursday, February 22, 1912. THE CAROLINA UNION FARMER every street could be seen the parcel post delivery wagons piled high with packages. Two men with each wagon, one as driver, the other as deliverer, rapidly distributed the Christmas packages to rich and poor alike, for everyone here uses l^he parcels post to send packages and thinks no more of it than of sending a letter. What a contrast it has been to our American method of having" all of our packages handled by express companies. At home in Columbus, Ohio, I live just outside of the zone in which the express companies make deliveries (an arbitrarily fixed district of very limited area) and each week I §et a basket of butter, eggs, poultry, etc., sent from my farm some 30 Julies away. The basket must not only be taken to the express office, some five miles from the farm, and sent by express to Columbus at a cost of 30 cents, but I must go to express office in Columbus and Set it. With a parcels post such as Germany has the basket would be taken from the farm by the rural ttiail delivery and delivered to my house in Columbus, and it would cost 12 cents instead of 30. Such a convenient method of transportation naturally has a ^larked influence on the various “idustries and in no one is it more Jirjportant than in agriculture. Here h works both ways—it furnishes t ic farmer a convenient and cheap I^^^hod of getting his products on c market and an equally good Way of getting his supplies from the City. Among the agricultural products ^ t^liat are sent by post, butter ranks rst, and especially from northeast- ^‘rn and northern Germany is it ^cnt to the large cities of central ^^d western Germany. In the rail- c*t‘d station in Berlin, of the lines coming from eastern Germany, ■'ousands of packages of butter are ^v.dled every day. At the mini- ^-Um rate of the German parcels post which allows five kilograms .A I pounds) to be sent any distance the Empire for 50 pfennig (12 the cost of transportation I5 ~ Oyster Shell Line GROUND SHELL FOR POULTRY AND CRUDE SHELL.
