,hile fruit is in transit or after it
has resshed the market.
The resent methods of harvesting
citrus 'ruits in many cases in Florida
are extremely rough and a premium is
! placed IN the quantity rather than the
quality 81 the work done This is due
to the cas- Of labor employed, to a de-
sire on he part Of the packer to reduce
the cost to the lowest possible figure,
and to a lack Of knowledge Of the value
of careful handling.
1t is possible, even with the present
labor, to lessen materially the amount
Of injury done in picking the fruit. The
oranges showing clipper cuttings or
other injIries or bearing long stems
were counted on December and & be-
fore any educational work had been
done among the pickers. In two weeks
another examination of the fruit was
made, and after ten days still another.
Meantime, each picker was shown how
much damage was being done ana was
told what effect this injury had upon
the keeping quality of the fruit.
There is much opportunity for i'm
provement in the handling of the fruit
in the packing houses also. The use of
any kind Of hopper is source of much
injury on account of the dumping of
the fruit from the field crate. The
large hopper used extensively in Flor-
da tends to increase this injury. 1t is
probable that the hopper can be elimin-
ated entirely and the fruit delivered to
the sizing machine on carrying belts.
Many such arrangements have been
in operation in California for the last
two seasons and are giving excellent
satisfaction.
Many of the conditions in California
in 1905, when the investigation was UNI
dertaken there by the bureau of plant
industry, were much like those in Flor
ida. During the investigation, many
changes favoring more careful handling
of the fruit both in the groves and in
the packing houses, have been made.
Successful results have followed.
The experimental work indicates that
what has been accomplished in Califor-
MIA may be duplicated in Florida. The
decay of oranges is closely connected
with rough methods of handling the
fruit. Careful methods result in good
keeping quality. Rough and careless
work should be expected to cause decay
and the experiments show that this is
true
