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 compared with the articles
measured. It was found, for instance,
that bushel of apples as then meas
ured would weigh from 80 to %
pounds. Should the rule prevail
making 50 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 Xperienced theorizer
has suggested that box of apples
should have a definite weight it was
soon found that the suggestion was
utterly impracticable.
The only thing in which apples we're
packed 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
