The finer varieties Of fruit should be
packed in boxes When barrels are USED
the best fruit is injured by overpresS
ing. The fruit must be picked AT the
right time. Last year lot Of the North
ern Spys were picked so early that very
serious loss is the result, because the
warm weather has ruined their keeping
qualities. The question Of grading is
too large one to deal with here. Great
care Is necessary in grading, and the
work will be rendered much easier by
having large quantity OF the one vari.
ETY.. In facing the barrel pick out fruit
that Is fairly representative OF the con
tents Of the barrel. Place the smaller
apples on the outside and the larger
ones in the center. The picking should
be done very carefully, care being
taken not to bruise the apples by drop,
ping. Care mus be exercised In jarrlng
or shaking the barrel In filling, so as to
get the contents well shaken and TO
avoid slackness, and al the same time
not bruise the fruit. This Is best ac-
complshed by giving trembling mo-
ton TO the barrel. III hauling to the sta.
ton spring wagon should be used,
otherwise the fruit may be bruised in
that way. The more the producer can
pack his own fruit the better 1t viii be
for the trade. After picking the fruit
should be put inside, where It is dry.
