by the Atlantic Gulf and Pacific
Steamship company for use as q

out in cooperation with the preser-
vaffon Of fruit and vegetable project
of the federal bureau Of markets.
Cargo space will be divided into
compartments in which different con-
ditions can be produced and con-
trolled. In the tests 1t will be posi-.
bic, according to the officials. to make
records under variable transit condl-
tons. Factors to be studied include
temperature, ventilation and humidity
and the equipment being placed in the
Cramp will make possible study of
those conditions individually and in
combination.
s0rangees lemons and apples will be
the principaf fruits to be transport
cd in the Cramp. The ship will ply
between the Pacific and Atlantic
coasts while the tests arc being made.
Several of the American steamship
lines are said to be interested in thie
experiment. for it's possibilities in
shipment of perishable fruits not only
to the eastern markets but to Eu-
rope.
Two shipments of fruits from. Cali

been made. Twenty five carloads OF
