Show THIS SHRINKING WORLD What the future holds is indicated in the intensive plans being made by leading aviation lines to handle air cargoes of the most perishable commodities. Already, Al-ready, lettuce has been flown from' California to Washington, D. C. ; a shipment of bees to Alaska, with few casualties; fish eggs to restock a South, American lake from the Mid-West; berries from the South to the North ; even orchids from Mexico : to- New York. Ex- - perts have studied the condition of " each shipment, both en route and at destination, to determine the effect, if any, of high .altitudes.
