AN “HONEST PACK” BILL
U.S.A. MOVE An “Honest Pack” Bill has made its appearance in the New Jersey Legislature. It has for its object the better packing of New Jersey fruits and vegetables, and provides that the top or face of the package must be representative of the entire contents of the package. This Bill has been found necessary to protect the consumer of New Jersey products because of a growing habit among dealers, and farmers as well, of putting the very finest specimens on top of the package, while the bottom may be filled with ordinary or cull quality produce. The consumer has been cheated so many times with a (Lishonest pack that the farm organisations of the State, headed by the Farm Bureau, took steps to meet this condition. The Bill was drafted by the Farm Bureau, the State Grange, the Horticultural Society and the Bureau of Markets, and it has been worded to meet every condition that may arise. It has been approved by the Attorney-Gen-eral’s office and goes to the Legislature with support from many sections of the State.
