TESTING CAPACITY OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLE CONTAINERS 13 



c all manufacturers are accorded the same treatment. Here also uni- 

 formity in fall of seed must be practiced. 



The distance the seed falls is measured from the bottom of the 



' hopper to the platform used on top of the cabinet, or to the bottom 

 of the cabinet. The department's practice is that the seed shall 

 fall 13 inches from hopper to platform in testing berry boxes, till 

 baskets, Climax baskets, hampers up to 8 quarts, round stave and 

 straight-side baskets up to 16 quarts, and splint baskets up to 24 

 quarts. Hampers larger than 8 quarts, round stave and straight- 

 side baskets larger than 16 quarts, and splint baskets larger than 

 '24: quarts, are placed within the cabinet for testing, and the seed 

 falls 37V2 inches, from the bottom of the hopper to the bottom of the 

 cabinet.
