joined on the sides of the box, and the
cover nailed only through the hoops
The exact number of oranges the box
contains should be stenciled in plain fig
ures on one end. 1t is very seldom the
sides of the box are full twelve inches wide,
consequently an open space is left at the
corner. In packing let the rows of or
anges run lengthwise of the box, thus pre-
senting a solid mass of fruit at the cor
ner instead of the vacant spaces which
would appear if the rows went across the
box. To old packers all this seems like a
''twice told tale,'' but it may help out
some of the beginners. A. F. STYLES.

Shipping Oranges in Bulk.

Our experience with bulked oranges
last season did not warrant the idea:
that shipping oranges in car load bulk
meant to "commonize the fruit, }" as we
feared it might do; on the contrary we
we're agreeably surprised at their ready
sale at about the same price they would
have brought if packed; but they sold
more readily than the same oranges
would have sold packed, unless packed
under "a well known brand" and they
arrived in a sounder condition than the
averaged boxed receipts at the time.
The reason for their arriving in better
condition Sin bulk'' than packed, is prob
ably because in bulk the fruit has better
ventilation,-th sweat and gases more
readily escape than when the fruit is con-
fined in paper and box.
The reason for their selling better in
bulk is because the buyer sees at a glance
just what the fruit is; and it is not to be
wondered at that he prefers to pay $50
much per thousand" sound oranges for
the oranges he sees, than risk his money
for the uncertain packed article hidden in
paper and box, where, though partially
examined by opening some of the boxes,

Packing Oranges.

The inventive genius can discover al
most innumerable ways of arranging or
anges in packing, but practically very
few different methods are required. The
sizes given in the diagrams will usually
stake in" all the fruit worth shipping,
except with navels, when u quite often,
and 81 sometimes, will fiji box. The
object in packing is to fiji the box solidly
full, and SO arranged that however far
they may have to go the box will still be
full, and every orange in it's proper place,
when it reaches it's destination.
Oranges that have been dried, in thin
layers on shelves, for few days, will bear
considerable pressure without injury, and
in this condition can be packed much more
solidIy than if fresh picked from the trees.
The sizes which 'break joints" like the
200 and the 176 are the more desirable
than those in which one orange is directly
over another, like the 1913, as there are
fewer vacant places, and the fruit is much
less likely to become loose in the box by
shrinkage. The diagrams show so plain
ly how the oranges should be placed that
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-12-18

the greater majority of the oranges of
course are invisible to him.
The raIhandling of packed oranges
is frequently alluded to by the trade as
"a lottery and as ga pig in the polk"
etc., because of the uncertainty of the
hidden contents; but this objection can
not be raised against bulk oranges.
Another important item not to be
overlooked is the savingto the shipper of
the time, labor and expense in packing.
On the other hand nice packing is
desirable fancy touch for a limited guam
tity Of strictly fancy fruit, which under
an established brand" commands an
Independent price.
We give you this brief history not as
any opinion Of ours, but simply the facts
of the case as met by us; and we commit
ourselves, not to speculation or theory,
but only to the conditions as they exist.
The bottom and sides of the car should
be well cushioned with clean grass, and
the oranges not packed over two feet deep,
holding forty to fifty thousand oranges.

LATER.
The eoutcrop of bulk receipts of oranges
here this fall has developed this turn in
the trade the buyers of boxed fruit want
it prepared; and those who don't care
for papered oranges seem to prefer
them bulked-therefore, those who box
their oranges should certainly wrap
them; if the oranges are not wrapped
they might as well be shipped in bulk,
that is pretty certain from the present
drift of the trade here.
Bulked oranges should not be loaded
over two feet deep in the car, and the car
should be we'll cushioned on the bottom
and sides with excelsior or other clean
material. PANCoAsT & GRFFITHs.

HEAD-LAsD PURCHASERS From
TIE NORTHWEST.

Colonel Thomas Whitehead, the
State Commissioner of Agriculture,

ent of the Baltimore Sun, expressed
the opinion that more immigrants
will settle in this State this year
than any year in the last quarter of n
century. Discussing this subject,
Commissioner Whitehead said:
During the present year am
sure that more than thousand Vir
ginia farms have been sold to per
sons outside of the State The most
of these purchasers were from Mich
gan, Minnesota, Iowa and other
Western and Northwestern States,
and some few from the Middle States
Most OF the immigrants settle in the
Piedmont and Valley counties, and
some few in the southside, but not
many. Although land can be bought
in that portion of the State for few
dollars per acre, equally as good in
many respects as that sold for fifty
Or sixty dollars in Piedmont, the set
Tiers from tho North and West show
decided preference for the latter
section. The explanation of this is
that these white men do not desire
TO locate in the counties where the
negroes predominant. Many of the
Western men tell mo frankly that
they will not settle in section
where it is possible for colored ST.
pervisors to have the control of the
finances of the county. l find that

and will be one of tho best built and
equipped roads in the State.
The Kentucky Union, from LEX.

ty, 76 miles, which will be ready for
trains by August 1. The remaining
half of the road, from jackson to tie

Roads under contract and project.
ed are as follows:
An extension of tho Louisville
Southern. by way of Mt. Sterling
and the Licking Valley, through tho
Eastern coal field to tue Virginia
line, will probably be commenced in
n few weeks Tho money for this road
is said TO be already provided. This
