PROPER PACKING
OF IMPORTANCE
Careless and Unfair Preparation
Causes Immense Loss to
the Producer.
(By NJ. ROBERTS CoNovER. New Jer-
sew

CBy NJ. ROBERTS CONOvER. New Jer-
sey)
Because of the circuitous route
from producer to consumer, farm
products actually have a greater none
tary value at the consumers end, al
though they have greatly deteriorated
in quality.
This increase in monetary value is
due to the merchants profits, their
cost Of handling and the losses which
they entail in the decay of the perish
able products.
These conditions which decrease the
producers returns and augment the
price to the consumer can only be re-
lieved when a more simple system OF
transfer from country grower to the
city retail buyer has been evolved
These is. however, one source of loss
which can, to a certain extent, be OBJ
waited: that is that loss of perishable
fruits and vegetables which arises
from careless packing and bulky pack
ages requiring rehandling Of the con-
tents.
Careless and unfair packing by the
producer receives retribution more
quickly than do the dishonest, scant
pack ages and measures of the middle
man-except where special legislation
is operating against them.
The man who makes practice OF
poor packing quickly undoes himself
and makes great barrier against the
future consideration even though he
reforms.
Attractive market packages leave
the hands Of the commission merchant
quickly at a good p.fce. while the
poorly packed produce fingers and
suffers from the delay.
Graded fruits and vegetables in
packages of standard sizes makes an
immediate appeal to the retail mer-
chant as he can calculate closely
his probable returns from the ultimate
sale.
Just so with the small packages
for the small fruits which contain
