STANDARD CON-
TAINERS, FRUITS
AND VEGETABLES

Washington, April 15.-All inter-
state shipments of fruits and vege-
tables in containers must in pack
ages that conform to the provisions
of the United States Standard Con
tainer Act, says an announcement
from the Bureau of Markets, United
States Department of Agriculture,
which is charged with the enforce
ment of the Standard Container Act.
The baskets, crates, hampers, and
boxes must be in sizes containing
half pints, plnts, quarts or multiples
Of quarts, slight variations either
over or under size may be allowed
provided the average for any ship
ment conforms to the standards.
Climax baskets for grapes can be
made oniy in ., 4, and II quart sizes
and of the dimensions specified in the
act.
The variations from standard sizes
are made. il is stated, because of the
nature of the containers, they being
usually rough finished. No allow
ance for products heaped over the
edge of the cOntainer is made, and
the capacity of a container is de-
termined by stricken measure tests.
Although the law applies only to
interstate shipments it is probable,
according to the bureau. that inter
state shipments Will be generally
made in United States standard con
tanners, because many manufa cturers
nave arranged to make no containers
except those that comply with the
Federal size requirements Even
shippers whose products are usually
consumed in their own State are said
10 favor packages complying with
the United States Standard Con-
tainer Al, because they have no as
surance that their produce will not
be sent across State boundaries be-
fore it is consumed.
The enforcement Of the Standard
Container Act will tend to eliminate
deceptive practices in marketing
fruits and vegetables. say the
specialists, and will give Il square
deal TO both the purchasing public
and the trade. Over 40 food products
inspectors already stationed in the
large receiving markets are avail
able Tor enforcing the act
