Use Cardboard Containers for Shipping Citrus Special corrugated paper-board cartons have been developed for shipping citrus fruits that will cut container costs 25 per cent, when adopted by the industry, it was announced by Mutual Orange Distributors. Results of experiments conducted by M.O.D. during the past year indicate these new containers ought to be a satisfactory replacement for the present wooden boxes, and can save considerable money for the growers, reports A. L. Chandler, head of the M.O.D. supply department. Both shipping and storage tests made by M.O.D. since June, 1948, prove that, contrary to previous experience with ordinary paper cartons, this new weatherproofed cardboard container retains its rigidity under pressure and high humidity. Designed primarily to handle fruit packaged in bags, these containers were first used to ship grapefruit from Arizona. Test shipments have also been made with southern California oranges. In both instances, fruit was in good condition upon arrival, according to Chandler. The new container is the same size as the present wooden box used for shipping bagged fruit, but is about one pound lighter, thereby reducing freight costs. It is weatherproofed to be moisture resistant, has perforations for ventilation, and is reinforced for extra strength. Mutual Orange Distributors' ex- with southern California oranges.

Mutual Orange Distributors' experiments with the new type container were made in cooperation with the University of Arizona and the U.S.D.A. Bureau of Plant Industry. "Banana and apple shippers are successfully using similar containers on a large scale. Certainly bananas need greater protection in shipping than citrus fruits," the M.O.D. official argues. CALIFORNIA Last Week (Western News Service) The Governor is still on vacation in Santa Monica, but announced three legislative elections in conjunction with the November 8 special election, one in San Diego and another in Los Angeles to replace assemblymen, and one in Humboldt county for a state senator.

State board of equalization revealed charges by George Stout, state liquor administrator, that officers mess clubs in seven military and naval establishments in California are "abusing the privilege" of buying liquor at wholesale, and state tax-free prices. The Departments: Agriculture announced a 741,563 wheat acreage allotment to California counties for the 1950 season; veterans affairs said it bought 485 homes and one farm for veterans during July, one of the largest month's purchases it has had; employment scheduled a legal public hearing for new rules governing disability payments, but discovered such a The Departments: Agriculture announced a 741,563 wheat acreage allotment to California counties for the 1950 season; veterans affairs said it bought 485 homes and one farm for veterans during July, one of the largest month's purchases it has had; employment scheduled a legal public hearing for new rules governing disability payments, but discovered such a hearing would be illegal following issuance of an attorney general's opinion, so compromised by holding an informal hearing on its proposals.
