STANDARD CONTAINERS
Federal Law Applies to All Interstate
Shipments Of Berries, Vegetables.
and Other Produce

All interstate shipments of fruits
and vegetables in containers must be
in packages that conform to the pro-
visions of the United States standard
container act, says an announcement
from the Bureau of Markets, United
States Department of Agriculture,
which is charged with the enforcement
of the standard cOntainer act The
baskets, crates. hampers, and boxes
must be in sizes containing half pints,
pints, quarts, OF multiples of quarts,
slight variations either over or un-
der size may be allowed, provided the
leverage for any shipment conforms to
the standards. Climax baskets for
grapes can be made only in :. 4, and
IL quart sizes and of the dimensions
specified in the act.
The variations from standard sizes
are made, it is stated because of the
nature of the containers, they being
usually Rough finished. No allowance
for products hcaled over the edge of
the container IS made, and the ca
pacity of a container is determined
by stricken measure tests.
-tiluoGEI VIC INV dDDllcS only 10
interstate shipments it is probable
according to the bureau, that intra-
state shipments will be generally
made III United states standard con-
tainers, because many manufacture
erS have arranged to make no con-
tanners except hose that comply with
the Federal siza requirements. Even
shippers whose products are usually
consumed in then own State are
said TO favor packages complying
with the United States standard con-
! tainer act, because they have no as
surance that tn iii produce will not be
sent across Sta" boundaries before
/ it is consumed.
J The enforcement of the standard
container act will tend to eliminate
deceptive pra cticcs in marketing
fruits and vegetables. say the spe-
! c5alists. and will give a Square DEAF
to both the purchasing public and
the trade. Ove.' 40 food products in
spectors already stationed in the
