PROPER PACKING
OF IMPORTANCE
Careless and Unfair Preparation
Causes Immense Loss to
the Producer.
tBy M ROBERTS coNovER. New Jer-

tBy M. ROBERTS CoNoVER, New Jer-
sey)
Because of the circuitous route
from producer to consumer, farm
products actually have 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 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 lges and measures of the middle
man-except. where special Legislation
is operating against them.
The man who makes a practice Of
poor packing quickly undoes himself
and makes a great barrier against the
future consideration even though hi
reforms.
Attractive market packages leave
the hands of the commission merchan

NO WORD FROM PANTHER
Navy Officers Believe, However,
Repair Ship Is Safe.

No word has been received from the
repair ship Panther, which sailed from
the New York Navy Yard for Guanta-
namo last Thursday. the day before the
heavy windstorm along the coast
Navy officers, however. are confident
the Panther is all right. They say IL
is not customary for a repair ship 10
report between sailing and arrival
The Panther has wireless equipment
they point out, and would have been
heard from if in trouble.
1t is thought the ships captain, Com
mander l.. r. Steigner, may have left
the usual course along the coast and
headed for the open sea when the gale
came up. 1t may be that the storm
disabled her wireless system, which is
not of high power.
The battleships of the Atlantic fleet
left Hampton Roads yesterday for
Guantanamo, and If the Panther is
disabled it is believed they will find and
assist her.
Officers of the Panther. in addition to
Commander Steigner include Lieuten-
ant Louis p Davis and Ensigns John
b. Staley, Ernest w. Mckee, William
II. Stiles. jr., and Walter w. Webster.
Hugh Davidson, one of the secretaries
of the Naval Young Mems Christian
Association Of Brooklyn, is also aboard.
