A SHIPPING EXPERIMENT.
Fruit Well Wrapped in Veniilated Can
Brought Rewilb to Lampasas Shipper.
The Lampasas Leader says: Col
onel H. M. Stringfellow has ju.-t
completed a highly interesting ex
periment as to the shipping quali
ties of Texas fruit. On Saturday,
July 15, he delivered to the local
Wells-Fargo express office two
baskets of Elberta peaches to Iwr
shipped to Springfield, Mo., each
specimen being lightly wrapped m
tissue paper and newspaper. Ther
was nothing on the baskets to in
dicate their contents, and they wenr
given the usual handling of all ex
press packages. Friday morning.
July 21, a week later, he received
one of the baskets, which he re
quested to be returned to him, hav
ing made the trip, to Springfield
and return, that is half way aero-
the United States and back, anU
upon opening the basket the frutr
was found to be in perfect condi
tion, not a whit the worse for it
long journey in a close basket i.t
a close express car,, and not Its
than eight or ten transfers. Thi
means that instead of local fruit
growers shipping out their pro
ducts in refrigerated cars and liar
ing ice bills eat up their profit,
an ordinary ventilated car will sen
their purposes fully as well. Hi
will exhibit this fruit that has nr.- -this
remarkable journey to Spri:
field and bn?k at thecoming far:
ers congress at College Stati .
Colonel Stringfellow has d
much for Lampasas in the war
bringing to the attention of ' -general
public bur peculiar adv.
tages in fruit growing.
