Two Styles Crates Favored

For Citrus

HARLINGEN. May 27-The Ad-
visory Board of the Valley Shippers'
Assn. went on record Tuesday as
favoring both the round bottomed
and tub baskets for shipment o. cit
rus fruits in answer to a question
submitted by the traffic managers NJ
the Southern Pacific and Missouri
Pacific as TO whether they would
like TO have estimated weights eS-
tablished on other than standard
containers.
Estimated weights now are pro-
vided only on standard boxes and
shipments IN other than standard
boxes move on actual weights.
The carriers have received re-
quests from time TO time 10 pro-
vide estimated weights on shipments
OF citrus fruits in containers other
than standard boxes and they are
now giving consideration to the pub
lication Of estimated weights in adj

from the railroads.
The shippers board went on ie-
cord as being in favor Of establish
ing estimated weights or both the
round bottomed and tub baskets.
They do not contemplate any con-
siderable use Of the former but wish
this alternative in the event that
cost Of the latter became too high.
The round botSomed baskets are not
IN favor with the carriers nor are
likely to be used extensively by
the shippers.
