of standardization of fruits He told
of the gains which would accrue to
growers by adopting this policy. The
speaker also spoke of the benefit to be
derived by having a uniform crate.
1t was stated that one crate of bad
fruit shipped to an eastern market had
a deplorable effect upon five good crates
and made the sale of the better fruit
an impossibility.
The practice of asserting excellent
fruit on the tops of crates and a poorer

up and disapproved
The Tokay trade in San Joaquin
county is yet in its infancy and to de-
eide upon a fixed standard now might
prove detrimental later on, although
popular with the trade at present, was
the argument advanced by some.
Speaking of Improbable practices, it
was declared that carelessness in pack
ing was a waste of money. The ex-
perience of one grower proved that
paying cents extra for extra packing
on a crate enabled sale ranging from
80 to 40 cents a crate above the care
lessly packed shipments.

jobbers' association, addressed the
commission. He said that the Stock

Sacramento at the expense of Stock

from to 10 cents higher than that
charged Sacramento merchants, while
the capital city shippers can send their
goods into the San Joaquin valley FOR
only 2 cents higher than is charged

This matter, explained President
Music, has been taken up by the local
shippers with the Southern Pacific ana
its officials have found merit in the
complaint The commissioners also ex-
planned that they had called the mat
