PACKING IN BARRELS
While the simplest method OF pack
ing apples is the old barrel OF the east
10 which the bottom and top are laced,
the apples In the middle being simply
poured In, this is a slovenly, not 10
say deceitful method. for u requires
no grading expert to sort out the pest
ones for facing. The Western box
method. on the other hand, is more
desirable, especially in cases where one
wishes to cater to the fancy trade. One
OF the pretty points about the Dox
package is that the exact number OF
apples contained therein Is always
known. and II stamped on the Dox as IL
should be, gives information much APP

only applies where the packer adopts

Japanese style of ladder. in which the

IS easy to manipulate. Llghtest OF all

Iy used.
Every picker has his own opinion
as to the best style Of receptacle In
which to place the freshly picked
fruits. Buckets. baskets and bags
have their dev0tees. and some even go
so far as to provide the piekers Win
coal scntfles. The latter, however, too
strongly suggest pouring and such
rough treatment Is not to be Thought
of with apples any more so than with
eggs Where bags are used, as is conn
monty the case. they should be lined
with burIap though this should not
cause any relaxation OF care In piac-
ing fruit In them. Bags are open to
the objection that the fruit In them
is easily bruised where the bag
brushes against a limb or ladder The
sual form of packing does not admit
Of removing the fruit except By pour
ing, and this is Objectionable The bot
fomiess sack overcomes this difficulty
as It allows the fruit TO roll from the
lotion when the chain Is released.
Such treatment might do with oranges,
but with appIes-neyer. The average
picker could never Withstand the temp
taflon to let them shoot from the bag
the moment the foreman's back was
turned.
THE IDEAL PICKING BAG
Perhaps the best picking bag is the
apron bag. Il is cheap being easily
made Of heavy grain sack, hangs
IN the most convenient position for
filling and leaves both hands free. II
