BASKET SIZES FIXED BY LAW. 



Standards for Climax baskets for 

 grapes, other fruits and vegetables, and 

 other types of baskets and containers 

 used for small fruits, berries and vege- 

 tables in interstate commerce are fixed 

 by an act approved by the President 

 August 31, 1916. The law will become 

 effective November 1, 1917. 



The effect of the act will be to re- 

 quire the use of the standards in manu- 

 facturing, sale or shipment for all in- 

 terstate commerce, whether the contain- 

 ers are filled or unfilled. A large part 

 of the traffic in fruits and vegetables 

 in this country enters interstate com- 

 merce. 



Standards of three capacities are 

 fixed for Climax baskets, two, four and 

 twelve quarts, dry measure. These con- 

 tainers, often known as grape baskets, 

 have relatively narrow, flat bottoms, 

 rounded at each end, and thin sides 

 flaring slightly from the perpendicular, 

 The handle is hooped over at the middle 

 from side to side. In addition to fix- 

 ing the capacities of these standard 

 baskets of this type, the law also pre- 

 scribes their dimensions. 



The other standards are for "baskets 

 or other containers for small fruits, ber- 

 ries and vegetables. ' ' They are to have 

 capacities only of one-half pint, one 

 pint, one quart or multiples of one 

 quart, dry measure. Such containers 

 may be of any shape so long as their 

 capacities accurately accord with the 

 standard requirements. 



The examination and test of contain- 

 ers to determine whether they comply 

 with the provisions of the act are made 

 duties of the Department of Agricul- 

 ture and the Secretary of Agriculture 

 is empowerpd to establish and promul- 

 gate rules and regulations allowing such
