Unique in the new system is a cellulose box liner which acts like the wick in a lamp, catching moisture and returning it. The method was developed through an LSU Agricultural Experiment Station project by Dr. B.

Hall Davis, associate professor of market products technology. The new packaging eventually will eliminate the special, separate coolers, equipped with ice drainage facilities, now needed by distributors and retailers of poultry. The new corrugated "Mois-ture-Pak" carton is described by company officials as "revolutionary." Bancroft Paper Corp. in Monroe holds the patent on the entire packaging process. Old Method Cumbersome The need for the new carton came from the fact that refrigerated trucks did not end the need for icing down poultry, Dr.

Davis said. Melting ice was still needed to supply constant moisture on the broilers to prevent skin discoloration and dehydration as the chickens lost their own moisture during shipping. The wire-bound crates with ice were costly, awkward and unhygienic, he said. Bancroft several years ago had developed a corrugated cardboard carton, Dr. Davis said, but ice was still necessary.

Bancroft officials asked him if he could take the problem of eliminating ice. The solution, after years of experiments, was a plastic wrap to which is spot-glued a cellulose liner. The chickens packed in this wrap drip their own moisture to the bottom of the carton. This moisture is returned to them by the wicking action of the cellulose liner. The Rite-Care Poultry Co.

in Logansport is currently serving as a pilot plant for processing and shipping broilers in the new ice-free cartons. Dr. A Burl Watts, head of the LSU poultry science department, said the new packaging method should find immediate acceptance in the industry. Broilers are still being shipped 758. Losing was Clyde Smith Jr.

with 509 voles. The winner of the second primary will face Republican nominee Jake Cameron, a retired manager of Carey Salt in the general election. Only one candidate for the city council, incumbent K. W. (Jack) Henderson, won nomination in the first primary.

In the runoff will be Tracy L. Harrel 768; Roy W. James. 817; G. P.

Long, 698; M. E. (Eddie) Parker, 703; Gerald M. Rob-bins, 654; O. T.

White, 541; Louis DcBusk, 834; and James H. Emerson, 871. Losers were incumbent Wilbur B. Evans, 492; Lonnie S. Fog-gcr, 406; Oran A.

Moreau, 179; J. W. Reeves, 233; R. M. Thompson, 527; Jim Warren, 438.

in wire-bound wooden crates, packed with ice. The crates often split in shipping. Dr. Davis said, resulting in crates stacked on loading docks with portions of chickens exposed to insects and stray animals Retailers and distributors needed and still need special drains in their storage rooms to carry off the melting, bloody ice, and most local health departments require hosing down the ice to prevent possible bao teria contamination of other foods in the stores and ware houses. Dr.

Davis said icepacked poultry means considerable "cutting loss" for the retailer. Water-saturated skin bleeds when the bird is cut up for packaging, giving the retailer fewer pounds of cut-up chicken than he had bought whole. Ice also nas a bleaching action on the birds, he said, and its elimination will prevent the skin from looking pale and anemic. Ice free cartons also will result in a more shapley bird he said. Retailers Enthusiastic The new packaging will per mit a truck to haul poultry from Alabama to the West Coast, for example, at a saving of from $250 to $300 per load.

The load of a truck of poultry is normal ly 40 per cent ice. "Retailers are the most enthu siastic of all about the process," Dr. Davis said, "for they will be able to cut down on back-room refrigerator space and stock room personnel. Unloading ice-packed chicken literally leaves a sea of ice and dirty water. Un loading Moisture-Pak poultry is just like unloading a carton of canned goods.
