APPLE SHIPPERS
Use Big BARRELS
Growers Rights and Virginia
Law Recounted by Secretary
Whately.
Urging uniform

Urging uniform packages Cor all
fruits in Virginia. Secretary Walter
Whately, of the Virginia State Hort
cultural Society. has issued a state
ment of the law on the 3ibjoc.. and is
advising growers of their rights Mr..
Whately finds that barrels o. different
sizes have been and are being fur
nlshed to growers in Virginia ir. which
to pack their apples (usIally by the
bdyers). and that these different sixc,
are almost invariably larger than the
dimensions specified as legal stand
ard by the Legislature OF this State
The point is that when the shipper
puts more apples in a barrel than re-
CURED by the legal measure he loss
just to that extent
The law on the subject (section
l9i3a, Pollard's Code) is as follows:
"A barrel for use in packing, selling
or shipping apples shall be OF the fol-
lowing dimensions: Head diameter
seventeen and one-eigheh inches
length of slaves, twenty-seven and
one-half inches; bulge not less than
sixty-four inches. Evory person buy
ing or selling apples in the State by
this barrel shall be understood rs re-
ferring to quantity or size of barrel
herein specified"
In Legal Standard.
Mr.. Whately discusses the matter as
follows:
There Is, of course, nothing to orc
vent our growers from selling ii a
larger barrel than specified by, our
Legislature: they can even use a TO-
bacco hogshead II they so agree. But
1t IS evidently against their interest
to do so.
What 1 desire to emphasize Is that
the dimensions specified Wy our law
F.h at 4
Is the legal standard for any sales
made in this State. And we are pro
,ected in sending these barrels any
where by the interstate commerce law
and Virginia growers have always
shipped these barrels anywhere with
out complaint, even IL sold on consign-
ment elsewhere. Should the point of
conflicting with any other State law
be raised. the matter can be adjusted
by marking such barrels as are offered
In that particular market Short"
though / have mover heard that this
has been required. Our barrel always
sells without question in the export
trade.
BY way OF comparison. I may say
that some States have no legal stand
ard, so far as I can learn Some have
the same as ourselves. and some are
different The New York State stand
ard is the same as ours. except that
their stave is twenty eight and one
half inches instead of twenty seven
and one-half CAS- ours), and 1t holds
half a peck more apples, or a loss 10

has a barrel with a larger bulge. as
well as longer stave. and II holds
one peck more apples n loss OF one
