Handling the Tomato Crop.

The most important part of the han
ding Of tomato crop Is the picking,
sorting and packing If wisely and
carefully done the results will be very
satisfactory. In picking tomatoes for
the market first go through the patch
searching closely for all the sound,
smooth ones which are in the turning
stage-that is, with a slight shade of
redness in color, yet green and firm.
never pick any cracked or disfgured
tomatoes to ship to the market, says
writer In American Agriculturist.
Those that are smooth and uniform
In size are placed in crate baskets on
their sides, with the blossom end up,
so as to show to the best advantage.
do not crate anything but No. in a
NO l package and No. 2 quality in a
No. package. Anything inferior to
No. will not pay to crate and ship.
l find by observing this rule l save
the cost Of many crates, also the trans
portattoa charges on them, as well as
the labor of putting them up, and OBJ
tain better prices for what l do ship.
When picking for the market l pick
only No. l fruit first and then pick
the No. 2 fruit. 1t is seldom that
ship any No. 2 fruit. l find by not
picking the cracked and disfgured to-
matoes green, but letting them remain
on the vines to ripen to the right stage
FOR canning purposes more money can
usually be realized from them than If
packed to ship. There is always some
one ready to purchase No. 2 fruit to
can for winter use. In this way it
can readily be disposed of at a good
price. | never overlook the great i'm
portance Of packing my fruit carefully
and honestly and true to brand. Good
fruits and vegetables properly han
died are always in demand at fair
prices.
