Transportation Matters. 



A better refrigeration service for Niag- 

 ara Peninsula fruit shipments was suggest- 

 ed in an address by George E. Mcintosh, 

 Fruit Branch, Ottawa. In six months the 

 railways of Canada had paid claims, loss 

 and damage, of about $6,000,000 he said, 

 $1,000,000 of which was concerned with 

 fruit and vegetables. By proper advance 

 attention on the part o£ both railways and 

 shippers, 75 per cent, of this condition 

 could be avoided. Three requisites for 

 proper fruit shipping were mentioned: 

 First, the fruit must be in proper condition 

 when shipped from picking to packing; 

 second, refrigerator cars must be avail- 

 ablfe, so constructed and so equipped 

 that best results may be secured; and third, 

 the initial and transiticing must be effi- 

 ciently performed. Prospects for a marked 

 improvement in all these essentials for 

 Niagara District fruit were very bright. For 

 one thing, the railways were planning to 

 put in special sidings at Grimsby, where 

 re-icing of all fruit cars will be performed 

 at the Grimsby cold storage plant. 



Mr. Mcintosh was convinced that, for the 



western markets, the Niagara District must 

 adopt better methods of packing, using 

 crates and boxes, instead of baskets, and 

 see that the cars are properly loaded when 

 leaving the shipping points. British Colurn 

 bia already had adopted these practice:- 

 Because of this fact, the speaker would not
