SEA TRANSPORT OF RIPE FRUIT.
WASTAGE SOON TO BE ELIMINATED. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Reuter’s Telegrams. (Received January 28, 12.20 p.m.) LONDON, January' 27. A paper on the problems of sea transportation and conservation- in storing of ripe fruit was read before the Society of Arts by' Professor J. M. Thompson, of Liverpool University. He said that the problem as to whether all fruits now used as food could be transported in ships and stored in dormant ripeness was being studied in the laboratories of the Liverpool University. He added that nature and the effects of certain parasitic organisms were responsible for important losses in vegetable foods during sea transport. There was encouragement for the belief that food wastage could be practically' eliminated by' simple and inexpensive means and that the day was not far distant when many' varieties of important produce, now considered to be not transportable, would be made available.
