HOW TO PACK FRUIT.

Packing fruits of various kinds is
at this time of the year prominently
before the growers. 1t was not always
so. Fifty years ago such thing was
hardly known. We who have passed
the meridian OF life remember that
in our boyho cd days nearly all kinds
of fruit we're sold by being measured
in the half busEel or in other kinds
of measures. Then came the period
of Weighing but that never prevailed
very extensively in the case Of fruits.
The reason for this no doubt was the
difficulty growing out of the diversity
in weight compare with the articles
measured. 1t was found, for instance,
that bushel of apples as then meas
ured would weigh from 30 to %
pounds. Should the rule prevail
making 80 pounds bushel OF apples
our boxes would have to be different
for almost every variety in order to
have an exact bushel by weight.
While some inexperienced theorizer
has suggested that box of apples
should have definite weight 1T was
soon found that the suggestion was
utterly impracticable.
The only thing in which apples we're
packed a half century ago was the
barrel. 1t was a misnomer to call it
packing for the custom was to pack
one layer at the bottom and then
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1910-08-15
DITED BY F. WALDEN.

just pour in the apples and pack one
layer at the top. There might be
some uniformity in the two layers
next to the heads but such was
not the case in the middle of the bar
rel. In this part of the barrel all
sizs colors and conditions were poured
in. This led to many abuses from
which the business has not fully re-
covered yet. 1t is reported that some
dishonest growers or dealers were ac-
customed to put nice layer of apples
at the bottom and then stand stove
pipe in the center and pour the fairly
good apples around it and then fill
up the stove pipe with the refuse
apple. After the barrel was almost
filled the stove pipe was drawn out,
thus leaving the worst apples in the
center. This custom gave rise to the
expression OF "stOve-piping' apples
and potatoes. Growers we're severely
censured for this ''stove-piping" but
not always for cases have been known
where dealers would buy their apples
in bulk and then pack them in this
dishonest manner.
The real packing Of apples, peaches,
pears and plums including prunes, has
grown up on the Pacific coast. Some
of our leading farm papers published
in the east have repeatedly called
the attention to the fine packing done
on the Pacific cost. Notably among
these papers is the Rural New York
er, probably the ablest farm paper
in the United States. Our apples sell
better in the eastern markets than
the home grown product and much of

much better than what prevails in the
east because the growers here are
more honest but the necessity Of good
packing has been forced upon us.
We must pack our fruit better than
the old style when stove piping PIE
vailed or we cannot find a market
that will pay our transporting eX-
penses and give US a profit. 1t is
true that some of our western growers
have not learned this lesson and they
are meeting with disaster. l could
give illustrations that have come
under my own observation in which
growers have raised howl against the
fruit dealers on Western avenue, Sc
attic, because they failed to get as
good prices as other have. The fault
was not with the dealers but with the
growers in the slovenly manner in
which they have cut up their fruit.
have seen apples put up in dirty box
es, all sizes mixed together, no care
used in lining the boxes or in wrap
ing the fruit, sell for Onehalf the
price secured for we'll packed apples
and the wonder with me was not the
low price they brought but rather that
they brought as much as they did.
All these things are getting better for
the people are learning that it pays
to do things right.
Our prunes, pears and apples GO
more or less to the Atlantic coast
cities Very few of our peaches &c
beyond Chicago and some years they
do not 60 that far. The time may
come, when we can have our peaches
rushed through on fast trains, that
some of our magnificent Elbertas may
90 to New York. If the time ever
comes that we can get our peaches
through to New York in six or seven
days, We will astonisb some of the
people there when they buy some OF
our 48 Elbertas and Late Crawfords.
Peaches are more easily packed than
any Of our other fruits. First thew
must be sorted and then be wrapped
and placed in the box two layers deep.
When the peaches are big enough to
pack four across the box and six
lengthwise there will be just 4e
peaches in the box. Peach boxes
differ in depth but not in width OF
length. So we can pack all sizes two
layers deep by using the different siz-
ed boxes. 1t takes but little skill tc
wrap and put the peaches in the box
after they are sorted. They must
always be tight in the box. If peaches
move in the box when handled they
will not sell for the best price.
When it comes to packing prunes,
pears and apples then trouble begins
witt the inexperienced. The CHIEF
trouble in packing pears is in putting
$50 pounds in 40 pound box" The
trade demands that a pear box moi
only be filled but bulged to its utmost
capacity. The pear box is considera
bly, smaller than the apple box but the
rule in most packing houses is to
make the filled pear box weigh about
so pounds. l think L need not. further
describe the packing of prunes and
pears.

FRANK BUSCHAzzIO ROBBED

A week ago last Saturday even
ing Mr.. Frank Buschazzio, who lives
on his ranch near Rowland in the
northern part of the county, was
sitting in his house reading about
s o'clock, when q masked man
entered, presented a pistol to his
head and demanded his money.
Mr.. Buschazzio grappled With the
man and his brother who was in
bed went to his assistance. Another
masked man then entered and the
brothers grappled with them and
was getting the best of them when
a third man entered and the three
overpowered the brothers and took
$3.50 that was secreted in the
drawer of a sewing machine and
made their escape.
The brothers we're badly beate
up by the robbers who used the
butts of their pistols with telling

BuschazziO went to Rowland and

Deputy Sheriff Hardin went from

case. 1t is doubtful if the robbers
will ever be caught, as they wore
black handkerchiefs over their

BUSINESS AND TRADE

OF the outlook in the financial
world, Bradstreet's says:
Trade reports, except in the
northwest and on the Pacific coast,
show little gain in activity and
indeed in some lines such as textile
manufacturing, further curtailment
is under discussion.
1t is probably true, however,
that evidences of crop and weather
improvement came too late in the
week to be equally reflected in the
weeks report. Large industrial
centers, particularly of the east,
improvement is not manifest, where
as the gutter tone of many lines or
the evidence Of further curtailment
Of operators point to other causes
than backward weather having been
operative in holding back demand.
Some lines of industry, it is true,
are SUI dStifc' pIoiililiellI III tuese
being building trades, with the
hardware and kindred lines. There
is still evidence, howe yer. that
anticipations as to the spring trade
were keyed too high.
Summed up, trade as well as
speculation, seemed to be in a
waiting stage. Pending q clearer
view of the ultimate crop situation,
the disposition is to.postpone future
commitments.
