GRADING AND PACKING FRUIT.
csrelessness Always Results In Lower
Prices When Marketing.

To see the way In which some fruit
are farmers who say fruit growing
does not pay.
Very frequently baskets give evil
dence from their blackened, moldy
appearance that they have been stored
in damp cellars or they show chaff
and dust of the hay loft. Such pack
ages could not bring a good price for
even the choicest of fruit. Second.
hand packages or those that have been
used for fruit before, are entirely un-
suitable. Besides being unsightly,
they will cause fruit to decay on the
road to market The wood of second
hand packages is liable to become i'm.
pregnated with the spores of molds
and rots from former fruit and will
cause the speedy decay of fresh
fruit coming in contact with It.
Very frequently packages are used
which are unsuited to the nature of
the fruit. A bushel basket is poor
means for carrying and displaying del.
icate, high-class fruit like peaches A
barrel is too large for soft fruit like
Bartlett and Clapp pears. Often a 20.
pound basket of grapes will be begging
for a purchaser, while II the same
fruit we're placed in dainty three.
pound baskets, the fruit would sell like
hot cakes at 25 and 30 cents apiece, or
eight to ten cents per pound for the
grapes.
The most common evidence Of care.
lessness on the part Of the fruit grow.
er is the sending Of ungraded pack
ages, showing large, intermediate and
small specimens of fruit which almost
invariably sell at the rate paid for In,
ferior stuff, says Farmers Voice. II
would probably sell at better price
II every specimen in the package were
small, the large specimens being O
detriment rather than otherwise. II is
frequent sight in the commission
houses of any Of the largo cities 70 see
men sorting and repacking fruit care
fully, which was carelessly put up by
the farmer. The commission men pay
the farmer q minimum price for the
whole package, and that is the best
that can be gotten for II.
The large. fine specimens are sort
ed out and packed In a smaller pack
age and bring a special price, Otter
much more than could be gotten fol

The profit for such grading which
might have gone to the farmer, natur
ally went to the commission merchan
who did the work.
The grower, moreover, paid tn,
same freight on the inferior fruit II

grade that brought the special pric,

CURE FOR CURL LEAF.

Prof Taft of the Michigan Agri-
cultural college has announced an i'm

which has been so destructive among
peaches for several years, can be sue

mates that fully nine-tenths OF the
crop of Elberta peaches are annually
destroyed by curl leaf which might
have been saved by spraying.
The solution used is 1 pound of cop
per sulphate dissolved in 25 gallons
of water. The tree should be covered
with the spray as single bud escap-

II is advisable to use ladders as
