Probe Method
For Shipment
Broccoli Crop
The importance of Oregon's
broccoli industry Is making itself
felt and government officials are
making plans to investigate the
best methods of shipping. There
has been some trouble with the
broccoli jackets yellowing before
they reach the market when they
have to be shipped long distances.
George K. Link of the bureau
of plant Industry and C. W. Mann
of the bureau of markets have
conferred with the management
of the Oregon Growers' Coopera
tive association regarding Investi
gation of present methods of ship
ment and It is probable that the
government will' cooperate with
the association In this winter's
shipments to determine methods
which will eliminate the present
difficulties.
The broccoli would be careful
ly Inspected before and after ship
ment, according to plans, and It Is
probable that men will accom
nanv the cars Koine east to learn
the exact condition of the vege
table along the way.
With the Increasing importance
of the broccoli industry in Ore
gon, assistance of this nature
from the department of agricul
ture will be greatly appreciated
by the broccoli growers of the
state.
Last season the Oregon Growers
shipped 60 cars of broccoli from
different points in Oregon.
