TRANSPORT OF FOOD.
NEW ERA DAWNING. . BETTER MEANS POSSIBLE. AN EXPERTS PROMISE. (By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyri^nt.) i Received 2.30 p.m.l LONDON, January 27. A paper on the problems of sea transportation and conservation in store of ripe fruit, was read before the Society of Arts by Professor J. M. Thompson, of Liverpool University. He said the problem whether all fruits now used as food could be transported j in ships and stored in dormant ripeness ! was being studied in the laboratories at : the Liverpool University; also the! nature and effects of certain parasitic I organisms responsible for important losses in vegetable foods during sea transport. I There was encouragement for the ' belief that food wastage could be prac- I tically eliminated by simple inexpensive j means and that the day was not far; distant when many varieties of important produce now considered not transportable would be made available.
