Lrecat Wericnts anp Measures or VEGETABLES Sotp 1557 
‘“(d) In measuring a barrel used or to be used as a con- 
tainer for vegetables, produce or fruit, the capacity thereof 
shall be ascertained by taking the measurement thereof be- 
tween heads, or, if the barrel is so made that no top can be 
inserted therein, then by taking the measurement stricken 
full. If, when so measured, the contents equal 7,056 cubic 
inches, no marking need be placed on the barrel; otherwise, 
it must be marked as provided in section 16-a. Half-barrels 
shall be similarly measured. 
‘In measuring containers used or to be used for vege- 
tables, produce or fruit, other than the barrel or half-barrel, 
the capacity thereof shall be ascertained hy taking the meas- 
urement thereof to the top of the sides, or if a cover is to 
placed thereon, which shall come below the top of the sides, 
then to the lowest point of the cover. In determining such 
capacity, the standards of measure are the half-bushel, con- 
taining 1,075.20 cubic inches, and multiples and sub-divisions 
thereof of proportionate cubical contents. 
“(e) A variation in contents of one and one-half per 
cent. (114%) will be allowed, but the variation shall not be 
uniformly below in a test of twelve containers taken at 
random.” 
“(Containers for vegetables, produce and fruit of other 
than standard sizes enumerated above. 
‘“ (a) When not of the sizes enumerated above, the barrels 
shall be marked with bold, broad-faced letters at least one 
inch in height in terms of the fractional part of the barrel; 
for instance, a barrel that contains three-fourths of a stand- 
ard barrel shall be marked ‘ 34 barrel.’ 
“ (b) Baskets or containers which are not of the standard 
size enumerated above, shall be marked in bold, broad-faced 
letters, at least one-half inch in height, given in terms of dry 
quarts, dry pints and half-pints or in terms of net weight.
