It is good news that the Postmaster-General is con- sidering

the establishment of an Agricultural Parcels Post. We believe that the help which would be given in this way to small farmers of every kind would be tremen- dous.

An Agricultural Parcels Post means free circulation of produce, and the happy paradox that while the farmer will get higher prices the consumer will pay less.
