HARVESTING, PACKING AND MARKETING 



Another meth- 

 od of selling 

 corn at retail 

 is in the home 

 hamper. Here, 

 with other veg- 

 etables, corn is 

 generallyinclud- 

 ed in season, the 

 general principle 

 being that, with 

 the order for the 

 home hamper, 

 money is in- 

 closed, and the corn is paid for, as well 

 as the other vegetables, before it has 

 been shipped or delivered. Some few men 

 in various sections are trying the paper 

 box, as mentioned under packing. This 

 has proved quite satisfactory. The pack 

 varies in size from a dozen ears up to three 

 or four dozen. If the smaller sized pack 

 would come under the parcel post, it could 

 be shipped quite advantageously that way. 

 Otherwise, it must be delivered by express.
