Helen had improvised a sort Of
wire holder that fitted over the

increased the number of trips on
the Pennington branch from six to
ten each weekday, and now pro-
vides six on Sundays where there
had been none before. Prior to the
advent of automobiles this would have
been heralded as an epoch in Hun
terdon County transportation, as it
would have served a large number
of people who needed it. However,
with over two years of the improved
service, it is evidently being pa
tronized well enough to warrant a
larger car. 1t is hoped it will con-
tinue to enjoy sufficient patronage
to continue improvements.

Agriculture Department Gets Out
List of 494 Makers to
Aid Producers.

Tremendous development of the in
duStry of manufacturing boxes, baS-
kets and crates in which to ship fruits
and vegetables is brought out in a
survey by the Department of Agri-
culture, which shows that more than
500 900, 900 berry boxes, 30.000,0OO
round stave baskets, 10000. 900. ham
pers and millions of Climax baskets,
till baskets market baskets, crates
and boxes are used annually for this
purpose.
While shippers of fruits and vege-
tables usually obtain containers from
nearby factories, the survey shows
that there are many instances of
supplies being purchased from distant
plants Thus. most of the lettuce
crates used in New York are made in
the South: asparagus crates made on
the Pacific coast have been used in
Georgia.; apples are shipped from
Idaho in baskets which may have
been made east of the Mississippi.
Container manufacturers often draw
part of their materials from distant
sources. Many of the Hallock berry
boxes from Michigan are made of
material cut to size on the Pacific
coast and shipped East in the fiat In
carload lots; manufacturers of eli
smax baskets frequently cut no
material, but get supplies from mills
which supply the material ready to
make up: a factory in Michigan may
make round stave baskets of slaves
cut in a mill in Mississippi.

and jobbers, giving the names and ad
