MAILING IS BIGGEST FACTOR
Consideration Should Be Given to
Methods Of Construction Which
Will Lessen Possibility Of

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Important factors affecting the sue
cessful $ of crates in marketing
fr aits and vegetables were carefully
studied by a specialist Of the bureau
Of markets, United States Department
Of Agriculture. during a recent trip.
The first of these Is the need of mani
lecturers making a more rigid inspec-
tim of materials used.
While most manufacturers make an
effort to have their stock inspected
and to use only good material. in some
cases this attempt Is frustrated by-the
failure of the workman to understand
n appreciate the ideal which is guild
Ing his employer. Many crate-mill
employees seem to cherish the old idea
that because the crate is a gift pack
age 1t should be made as cheaply as
possible, using any sort Of material so
long as there is a chance of its hold
ing together. thus reducing the cost
to the grower and shipper.
The Growers Responsibility.
The crate manufacturer having
Zone his part In providing materials
free from defects. the grower or ship
per should see t 1t that the crate is
not spoiled in being made up in his
packing house or field.
Growers and shippers should remem-
Der that the mailing together Of the
crate is n Of the biggest factors In
determining whether the cOntainer is
to be strong and substantial or weak
and productive of damage claims. Ce-
ment-cOated nails, not less than four
penny In size. should always be used,
and care should be taken to see that
they are properly spaced and placed.
Greater care Is perhaps necessary
In making up crates for express ship
ments than for car-lOt freight ship
mentS, due to the more frequent
handling they must undergo. For
either method Of shipping cOnsidera-
ton should be given to methods Of
construction which will lessen the pos

FARMING FOR LIVING URGED
II More Farmers Would Produce
What They Need for Home Use
Markets Would Be Better.

More farming for a living should be
done and there will be less risk OF
poor markets. If most farmers would
produce what they could for home use
the markets would be required to take
less and as a result there would be
less strain on them. The way to have
markets is to save and conserve what
you have. Use your markets only
when It, is necessary to sell the sur
plus you cannot eat or feed.

sibiiity of loss. An instance Of this is
the use of the "web" or cleated side
for celery crates. The Stats are
stapled to the cleats in the factory,
making but n piece to each side to
handle in the field instead of three.
II also insures V spacing Of the
stats and gives an extra thickness for
holding the nails, thus cOunteracting
any tendency Of the Stats to split and
come away from the nails.
Some celery growers are expert
menting with a patent crate which Is
REINFORCED with wire around the
ends and the body Of the crate. In
actual use the end wires were twist
ed together to close the package, 1t be-
ing found impracticable, owing to the
height of the celery, to twist the GER
ter wires together. There is no doubt
Of the strength of this type Of crate.
Need Of Cooperation.
Whatever the type of crate used. II
is the duty of the manufacturer to sup
ply good material. accurately cut and
properly put together. This much
the purchaser of crates should de-
mand and should expect to pay for.
Having secured 1t, he should do his
part by seeing that the crates are made
up in a wOrkmGnlike manner, and,
after packing. that they are properly
closed and fastened for shipment. By
such cooperation manufacturers and
growers can feel better assured that
the crate will measure up to the ideal
OF a fruit and vegetable package; that
Il shall carry the commodity intact
from the grower through the whole
sale market to the retailer.
