Better Packing WouId r suit In Larger
and More Pr Fl able Business.
Mr.. Blythe w. Branch. writing from
Paris to The Times Dispatch regarding
an editorial which recently appeared IN
this paper on the prosperous condition
OF the apple export trade OF the United
states. encloses the following extract
from letter received by the American
Chamber Of Commerce:
Our attention has been called to tho
low prices realized for American apples
arriving in European ports. owing to
the bad condition in which they are re-
celved-
The trade in this article is very So
riously hampered by present methods OF
packing, and we are assured that II this
evil were corrected 1t would result In
Increased and more profitable business.
at present, apples are packed In bar
rels for over-sea transportation in the
most careless manner, no special precau-
rough handling to which such shipments
are exposed. AS result. they arrive
in foreign ports in exceedingly bad con-
dition. fully thirty per cent. being lost
through bruising and decay
Those familiar with the trade assert
that fully double the present prices could
4 be realized If the apples arrived In proper
condition. 1t is urgently suggested that
apples for export be carefully packed In
layers. between sheets OF suitable pros
tecting NATURAL, in such manner that,
whilst not being so tightly packed as to
produce bruising, all chance Of shifting
: en- route will be prevented. At the Same
time ventilation should be most care
fully provided for. and this may readily
be done by boring holes in the heads and
slaves of the barrels.

In the lean years 1t Is the other fellow
who has wrought the damage but this
year we are all so we'll to do that none
has cause to complain.
It has not been bumper year, but the
general crop yield has been good. and
almost every one has plenty to eat.
The farmers are busy housing their
corn. and the fattening of the lowly swine
lis next. There are lots of acorns and
chestnuts. so but little corn will be needed
to ''make the hog" and consequently cheap
meat is evident
Many farmers are still blowing and SOW
ing their wheat, while others have theirs
up. For some seasons past the wheat IN
this section, as In others, has been a short
crop, and In consequence the seeding this
season Ia In many cases reduced. Tobacco
has heen also cut out OF rotation on some
farms, and In some instances tho crop
has been corn alone.
When our farmers awaken to the posst-
blity Of these river farms us fields for
vegetable culture, 1t is probable that corn
may follow the wheat and tobacco
The number OF par,r!aSes this season Is

galiy killed birds after October 18th, but
