THE USE OF LOW PERCENTAGE OF SALT WITH CRLSHED ICE IN BRINE TANK CARS. Through the general criticism of the brine tank refrigerator cars by the grower* ana shippers of perishable products, the attention of the Department of Agriculture was called to the subject in 1913. During that season the transportation companies furnished the fruit growers of British Columbia with approximately 50 per cent of that type of car. While the brine tank refrigerator has been found admirable for the shipment of such perishable produce as poultry, meats and dairy products that require very low shipping temperatures, it has not been found satisfactory for fruits. Many shippers have refused to ship in them altogether, and consignees or prospective pur- chasers who have had experience with brine tank cars rule against them in ordering carloads of fruit. It is generally understood that for dressed meat or poultry shipments from 10 per cent to 20 per cent of rock salt should be mixed with crushed ice in the brine tanks. In this way the ice is melted and removes heat from the interior of the car ao rapidly that temperatures below freezing are maintained even in hot weather However, through the supposed danger of freezing, the salt has been omitted in making fruit shipments m brine tank refrigerators, and the ice has been placed in the tanks in block form, after the same manner that the bun
