Icing Vegetables for shipmena.
Zone of the most remarkable new de-
partures in the freight business" said
Omar H. Bartlett, general agent of the
Louisville & Nashville railroad, "is the
idea of icing vegetables for shipping
long distances. It has been tried spas
medically in other years, but never nm
til this year was the plan carried out to
any extent. Now the New Orleans
shippers are icing their vegetables right
along. We have already this season
hauled Is cars to New York city alone
that contained iced vegetables, and the
shipments to Boston, Buffalo, Pitts
burgh, Baltimore, Philadelphia. and, in
fact, to all the northern cities, have fol-
lowed out this new idea. You know tho
shipments of cucumbers, cabbagea.
beans and all kinds of garden stuff have
grown very rapidly in the past few
years, and now the producers have
found it necessary to ice them. The
process of packing is quite interesting"
