It is not enough that insulated walls and floors and means for heating be provided without regard to the proper methods of installation. Approximate- ly 75 per cent of all cars prepared to ‘protect potato shipments incold weath- “er.are lined or loaded incorrectly, = To make a boxcar safe for shxppmg botatoes in ' weather. that is below freezing, the floor, walls amd ceiling of “the car should be covered with build- ing paper held in ‘place with laths. - After papering, a false floor should bhe laid on supports runmng lengthwise and allowmg a free air channel, four: to six inches deep, below the false floor and extending from ‘the center [ ’-uquELE;':::',?a;':fi;w;:-.;::s.“;n ‘Wonderfol new 'system of teaching each of the'car to.either end and connect- -ing with® vertical air’ passages formed by false walls built four to six inches from the'car ends. - False walls, also, should be built a few inches from the sides of the car.

The reason is that ‘a single delivery wagon does:the work " that three or four did formerly.: The distributors have combined ' for de- livery with the “result that delivery costs ‘have -been cut 1 centa quart. There -has been no. milk-price agita- “tion in Philadelphia for a long time. The people feel: that the water has been squeezed out of the distributor’s costs by elimination of. surplus ‘deliv- ery wagons; and that they are paying less for distribution than are the con- sumers. of any other large city. ‘Milk consumption is faxrly constant and the dairy:industry’ in the whole district which: supplies.
