PACA and Consumers ally
Since marketing costs take
a big share of the consumer’s
food dollar, it’s vital that
products move rapidly from
the farm to retail foodstore.
For, perishables like fruits
and vegetables, keeping
costs down and quality up is
especially important. The
risks of marketing are great

Agricultural Commodities
Act iPACA). Administered
b> USDA’s Agricultural
Marketing Service, the
PACA establishes a code of
good business conduct for
interstate marketers of fresh
and frozen fruits and
vegetables.
It also sets up machinery
for preventing and settling
the disputes that inevitably
arise in this fast-moving,
heavy-risk business. PACA
officials work with both
buyers and sellers in
mediating their disputes,
often helping them to arrive
at informal agreements
promptly so that each load of
produce can move, without
delay through marketing
channels on to consumers.
More than 900 such in
formal “reparation”
disputes were amicably
settled during fiscal year
1975 (July 1,1974, to June 30,
1975,) resulting in payment
of nearly $6 million to the
persons making claims.
PACA officials also furnish
producemen advice to their
marketing transactions in
more than 15,000 instances,
enabling them to avoid
disputes.
While the bulk of produce
disputes handled by AMS are
settled informally, some
must be settled through a
more formal procedure
under PACA. Most of these
result in an order being
issued by USDA, requiring
the buyer to pay the amount
he owes the seller for
produce purchase.
In fiscal 1975, USDA issued
some 300 formal orders
under PACA, ordering
payment of about sl-*6
million to the produce
shippers and others who filed
complaints.

What’s the hardest job you
ever saw 7 If you’d like to save
money on household repair
jobs by doing them yourself,
you might have to saw some
thing as hard as metal But
first you have to have tools
cut out for that kind of work
Many home repair experts
say that the best sort of saw
to help you get your teeth
into the really tough jobs is
an electric sabre saw It’s
considered the most versatile
power saw, since it can cul
sii sight like a circular saw
fit,

and still cut circles around
any saw that can cut in
circles
With the pioper blade U
will cut plaster plastics as
hestos plywood jod even
metjJ Some sabre saw blade s
come coated with Teflon to
keep them from binding
Manv are designed to cut
then own wav through hard
material so you don’t have
to drill first And Coastal
Abrasive & Tool Co , a major
source of sable saw blades in
the U S even makes a blade
that has teeth all around—to
cut in any direction—as well
as 20 other kinds of blades
You can get a tree sabre
saw blade sample from Coast
