Experiments Shipping Apples in Box
Cars

About 1900 cars of boxed apples
Skinned in box cars vera injured by
freezing last yea-, and the fruit grow
ers sustained a loss of approximately
81. oOO,O 600. Because of this and the fact
that it seems impossible to secure an
adequate amount of refrigerator equip
ment, the Bureau of Markets, United
States Department of Agriculture, is
cooperating with the Wenatchee Valley
Traffic Association to ascertain whether
an ordinary box car can be made to
take the place of refrigerator car
when the latter are not obtalnaoie.
The tests are being conducted with
four box cars. each equipped with a
different method of ventilation and Il
refrigerator car under standard VEN
tiIation. to provide means of COM
parison.
The first box car has ventilator cut
in each end. The second has the side
doors open inches. The third has one
side door open with a 6-inch battle, to
shoot the air into the car, and the
fourth box car has no ventilation
whatever. Delicate equipment records
the air currents and temperatures and
an accurate chart is kept. In publish
ing the preliminary report OF the eX-
periment, which is not entirely COM
pleted, the Bureau of Markets says
that the use of ordinary box-car equip
ment under any sort of ventilation
will not prove satisfactory for ship
ping boxed apples. Such produce can
be safely shipped by box car only
when the weather ranges from tenn
perate to cool. The ordinary box car
provides no protection whatever against
changes in external temperature. The
best means of ventilation is to open
both doors inches. so fastening them
as to prevent robbery.
