dictu! Bless your dear soul, we heap
up our boxes enough to allow them to
be pressed as tight as you press your
barrels, but in doing this we must
unavoidably add a bulge to our boxes
that makes the excess we are COM
planning about. You may say, Don't
add any bulge, for if your box con-
tains 2,342 cubic inches without any
bulge it is a legal box" Here is
where the conditions in the country
using boxes are not understood. If
we used material for the sides, tops
and bottoms of our boxes an inch
thick, or as thick as ordinary barrel
slaves and heads, we could do this,
and then our boxes would contain
nothing in excess of their cubic con-
tents. But this would very materially
add to the cost of our boxes and also
to our freight charges, which now
are very high for long distance ship
ments. To change our material would
seriously affect our business. We ask
for nothing unreasonable. l think the
apple growers of the Northwest would
not seriously object to a box contain
ing 2,342 cubic inches if they were

is unavoidably connected with their
method of packing and the kind OF
material they must bulge to the top
and bottom of our box, we could do
that, though the box SO bulged would
contain 38 cubic inches in excess OF
2,342 cubic inches, or just one-third
of a barrel. But if we have to accept
the law now before Congress and give
our boxes a bulge of n inch on
both top and bottom, which is about
the average as we now pack, then each
of our boxes would have 207 cubic
inches in excess of one-third of a bar
rel. Three of the new boxes so
packed would contain 7,647 cubic
inches, or 621 cubic inches more than
the standard barrel. Would that be
right?

licious of fruits.
l have another apricot (bought for
a Moorpark), which I keep merely for
the sake of the kernels, the meat of
