Excerpt from The B. A. E. News, Vol. 21: July 2, 1929 The inspection service of the Division of Fruits and Vegetables has recently been extended, under cooperative agreements with Purdue Uni versity and New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, to cover fresh vegetables at canning factories. Under the first agreement the service applies to canning factories in the State of Indiana; under the second arrangement the service has been extended to factories in New York State. During the past two years the division has been developing tentative standards for fresh vegetables used for canning purposes. The test of these standards in several States has proved their practicability and the present agreements, putting the standards in permanent use, are the result. It is expected that similar service will be rendered at vegetable canning factories in the States of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware. Canners of apples in New York and Pennsylvania have expressed an interest in securing similar inspection on apples, and Cooperative arrangements for this service will probably also be entered into at a later date. A similar interest has been expressed by kraut factories in the inspection of cabbage. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
