stitution Of short measure packages
at full-measure prices is one of the
principal objects OF specialists OF the
United States Department of Agrcul-
ture now making II study of the hun
dreds of different types of contain
ers in use. For example. baskets
which contain seven-ei2hths Of a
bushel are frequently used as bushel
baskets, it being difficult to detect the
short measure. In Farmers bulletin

just published by the department, the
specialists discuss the need for stand
ard containers for fruits and vege-
tables and describe how the public is
sometimes defrauded because of the
many types and sizes of containers
now in use.
Multitude Of Sizes Increases Cost
The serious lack of uniformity OF
containers increases the cost of mar
keting, say the specialists, because OF
the greater expense of manufacturing
a large number Of unnecessary styles
and sizes and by breakage in transit,
which. is sometimes directly attribut-
able to the difficulty of loading odd
sized containers. There are in COM
mon use at present about 40 sizes of
cabbage crates, 20 styles of celery
crates, 30 lettuce crates or boxes, 80
styles and sizes Of hampers, 15 styles
and sizes of round-stave baskets and
marketing baskets varying in size from
/ to "a quarts, whereas relatively
| few standard sizes would satisfy all
demands Of the trade. In many cases

quart peach basket, the B-bushel bean
hamper, and the 5-peck lettuce hamp-
er are confused with peck, half

The federal standard barrel law and
the United States container act which
establish standard containers, have
necessary sizes Of barrels, berry boxes
