COST OF FRUIT BOXES is
OPPRESSIVE TO PACKERS
Package for Long, Haul Sometimes
Worth More Than Contents.
Substitute for Wood
Needed

WASHINGTON, Nov. ,11-California
raisin and fruit growers are hard hit by
the excessive and increasing cost of
wooden packing boxes. They have not
vet found satisfactory substitute for
wood. suitable grades of which are be-
coming scarcer each year.
The chief market for raisins is thous-
ands of miles away, and packing cases
must be strong Paper has been tried but
has been only partially successful be-
cause it is injured by dampness, and even
when dry it is not strong enough except
Tor small parcels. Besides paper Is only
another form of wood and its cost climbs
with lumber as timber scarcity increase.
The far western fruit shippers see little
promise of relief from excessive cost of
the lumber they use.
The burden which the packing box lays
upon the California fruit industry is ap-
parent when 1t is stated that the boxes
for a carload of raisins cost $780, When
used once they become dead loss The
California orange grower, apple grower.
lemon grower, and the growers of nearly
all fruits which go to eastern markets,
are hurt in the same way. From 20 to 30
per cent of the retail price of many
fruits is due to the cost of the boxes
which contain them. In some instances,
1t is said the bog costs more than the
fruit packed IN II.
Wood Disappearing
There is no hope that wood for boxes
will ever be much cheaper In past years
the raisin packers ideal lumber was
choice sugar pine-light in weight-white
in color, and SO free from pitch that no
flavor was impaired to the fruit packed
within. Little box mills in the Sierra Me-
vada pineries culled the finest of the
sugar pine trees for the raisin men. The
tray shakes on which the grapes were
spread in the sun to dry, the Sweat
boxes in which they were hauled to
packing houses, and the boxes In which
they were sent to market were all of the
same material-the prime timber of the
California forests.
But the sugar pine is running short.
II is going as the white pine iof the east
went Those who are able and willing
10 pay for 1t may still have 1t, but many
prefer to get along with fir, lodgepole
rine, poplar or other cheaper wood. These
have been substituted to some extent
