Agriculture Establishes
Food Inspection Service

The food products inspection SER

two large markets-New York and
Chicago.
weeks to Kansas City, Boston. Phila-
delphia, Pittsburgh, Minneapolis, Fort
| Worth, Houston and other market
The supervising inspectors in the first
two districts now are training in
spectors for the work and are prepar-
ing to receive applications for in
spections
1t is thought likely that for some
time inspections will be made mostly
! of cars of produce concerning the con-
dition of which there is some dis
pute. Applications must be made by
| the shipper or his authorized agent
and may be made by telegraph tele-
phone, letter or in person. Applica-
! tions must contain a complete descrip-
tion of the shipment, including the
name and address of the shipper and
| receiver, car number, initials and
routing, contents and the particular
condition concerning which inspec-
tion is requested.
Inspectors will certify as to the
condition of fruits and vegetables
only. No charge will be made for the
service. An inspection certificate will
be issued regarding each car or lot in
spected and the original delivered or
mailed to the shipper or his represen-
tative. Upon request of the shipper
| or his representative all or part of the
contents of the inspection certificate
will be telegraphed to him at his ex-
pense.
The Food Production act Of August
10, 1917, authorizes the Secretary of
Agriculture to Investigate and GER
tify to shippers the condition as to
| soundness of fruits, vegetables and
other food products, when received at
important central markets designated
by the secretary, under rules and
regulations prescribed by him. These
certificates are to be prifna facie evil
dence in all courts of the truth of the
statements they contain.
The chief of the bureau of markets
of the department is charged with the
establishment and supervision of this
service. For convenience in adminis-
tration the important central markets
designated by the secretary have been
divided into six divisions or districts,
with a supervising inspector respon-
sible for each division.
