said that different sections of the country have
adopted packages Of different and form. As

handling. The subject of standard packages has
ouped the attention of fruit and vegetable growers
for some time, but not much has been accomplished
in the way of achieving uniformity. To remedy this
evil Rep. Nestal has introduced a bll-which has
committee approval and Is included in the program
OF legislation for prompt consderation-to provide
for five standard Packages and setting forth the
number OF cubic inches each shall contain If such
ducts and the manufacture of packages would lie

the consumer would know how much he getting
for his money where he may get a basket
a box Of fruits vegetables that may contain
any amount the packer finds convenient put in it,
MI Nestal also proposes TO standardize packages
for mill products such as -four, meal. The gen
orally accepted flour barrel contains 16 pounds
in some states this is the legal requirement But
many millers pack what passes for an eighth of
barrel of flour in sack that hold "a pounds.
that in buying eight of these sacks the consumer
gets four rounds less than a barre-a quantity suti-
cient keep small family in bread for days.
All Of these things may seem 10 be rather small
