HARVESTING APPLLs.

The early crop OF apples suffers
more ia the picking than the winter
sorts. Growers have learned from
hard experience that it does not pay TO
be careless in harvesting and shipping
winter apples. II is economy TO give
the most careful attention to them
from the time they are picked until
they reach market. Otherwise they rot
and decay, and when the returns come
in there is disappointment.
1t is pity that growers did not real
ize that the same is true Of the summer
apples. Windfalls are selling to-day
for about half what the hand-picked
curly apples are quoted. But this is
not the only difference. The windfalls
sell slowly. and they rot rapidly, be-
cause they are bruised and specked be
fore they leave the farm. Then when
received they have to be sorted out,
and ten per cent. of them are thrown
away as worthless. II they do not sell
Immediately il IS necessary TO give
them another sorting in q few days.
One third 10 one-half Of the whole lot
thus find their way into the river.
What must be the profits Of the ship
per after transportation rates are de-
ductedp
Windfalls should never go to dis
tant market IL there is no home de-
mand 1t is better 10 feed them TO the
pigs. send them TO the cider mill, or TO
do something else with them. Only
hand picked early apples are worth
anything in the city markets, and these
should be gathered as carefully as the
winter sorts. They should be picked
carefully. wiped dry and packed snug
~ in barrels with some ventilation in
them. Packed in tight barrels they will
decay quicker in hot weather. II they
are fancy fruit. il will pay even TO
wrap each fruit separately in paper.
There is just as much difference in
the prices for summer apples as in the
winner apples. but most farmers have
never been taught 10 believe 50. To
most OF them the early apples are only
an Indifferent sort OF crop anyway; but
II raised and marketed properly they
should be made TO pay as much as
those shipped in cold weather.-S. w.
