Packlng Fruits ana Vegetables.

Packing Fruits and Vegetables.
= My experience in this line has
been largely in the capacity Of re-
ceiver. Consequently, I should
rather suggest than dictate.
In my long experience. as re-
ceiver, I note very little change in
methods OF packing. No package
is properly put up for shipment that
contains an article in several stages
of growth or maturity.
Take tomatoes, for instance. The
common practice is to put half-grown
and ripe in the same package. The
consequence Is, the half-grown never
ripen and the ripe ones rot. OF
course tomatoes that are put up for
shipment to distant markets should
not be perfectly ripe, but should be
at least fully grown.
All spotted and deformed stock
should be rejected The six-basket
carriers or the fats make satisfac-
tory packages.
Lettuce should receive especial
care. 1t should not be allowed to

rcaysds leaves should be picked of

The suit was brought by Morton on
the ground of desertion and was
pigeonholod in the secret archives of

in the year. It was shortly afterward
referred to court commissioner and
the latter's report was turned over
to Superior Judge Ellsworth for his

the decree within five weeks of the
time the suit was begun. which is
record breaking speed considering the.
congested condition of the superior

The divorce brings to an end an un-
happy matrimonial experience of five
years duration. but does not come as a
great surprise to the friends of the
couple, as their marital troubles have
been a matter of general gossip in the

told the police he wounded one of the

was counting the money in the cash
