THE APPLE GROWERS
Present Their View. Of What They
Consider Ideal Package
SOME STATES HAVE STANDARD

1
Representatives of the apple growers
OF Kent County met representatives of
the railroad administration in Dover on
Thursday morning, May l, 1919, to dis
cuss the standardization of apple pack
ages. The apple growers presented
their views of what they considered the
ideal package for delaware apples and
it is possible that his package will be
officially adopted as the standard bushel
hamper for apples in the whole United
States.
The officials desire to meet the straw
berry growers and also the growers of
all other fruits and vegetables and at
their request meeting has been called
by the State Board of Agriculture to be
held at Georgetown on Tuesday, May
13 at 1.3O, and another meeting will be
held at Bridgesille on Thursday, May
Is, at 1.3O P. NJ, to accommodate the
growers on the western side of the
county. A number of agencies are in
terested in promoting the standardiza:
ton of fruit and vegetables packages.
The fundamental purpose of the move
ment is to prevent waste and loss in the
shipping of perishable products, and
the U. S. Department of Agriculture,
the Food Administration and the Rail-
road Administration are all interested
in the movement.
Standard packages for fruits and
vegetables from the southeastern part
of the United States have already been
adopted and after the first of July of
this year no claims for losses will be al
lowed unless these products are shipped
in approved packages. By holding
meetings with farmers and the manu-
facturers of the packages it is expect
ed that standard packages for Delaware
and surrounding states will be adopted
and will be put in force for next year.
1t is the desire of the railroad admins
tratlon to take care of the interest of
all classes of people and time will be
given to use packages that are already
manufactured.
Mr.. ]. F. Deasy. Sub Chairman of
the Committee on Packing Containers
