PACK FRUIT NICELY GET BETTER PRICE

I packed In barrels the top layer ID
made up Of selected fruit all Of the
same size and color; and the rows
are uniform, so that when the cover
Is removed the appearance OF the bar
rel Is pleasing.
A commission man on South Water
street Chicago, in burst Of con-
fldence said: docs It pay to repack
fruit and vegetables? Well, l should
say 1t did. pay expert fruit-packers
50 per day and their work nets me
in profit at least three times their
wages, and often four and Ave times.
The way shippers send their stuff to
market IL fright, and we people who
see it coming in here every day by the
hundreds Of carloads can understand
why fruit growers do not make more
money than they do. Too many OF
them lack common business 'gump.'
That's about all there is to 1t.
In packing apples in barrels the first
process is to place the barrel with top
down with the bottom removed. The
growers label and paper pad Is first
placed on the top and then the apples
are laid in layers with the stems down
and so arranged as to At in snugly,
leaving as little space between the
apples as possible.
The next layer is also placed in the
same way, great care being taken to
get fruit Of the same color for both
layers 80 that the second layer will
show through the first when the barrel
is opened. The barrel is then filed
with fruit and gently shaken until
nearly flled,N when the last few
layers must be so laid that the bottom
will bear evenly upon It all. The last
layer should be about level with the
top Of the slaves. or just little
higher.
The bottom cushion should then be
placed on the fruit and the head laid
on and forced down with press for
the purpose the head and hoops then
being nailed In place.
A barrel SO packed, can be shipped
long distances, and stored consfd-
cradle length Of time without injury
to the fruit. The more closely the
fruit is packed the tighter the heads
are pressed down-provided the pres
sure is not great enough to cause
bruising-the better will the fruit
stand shipping and handling.

A New York business man who was
forced to q New Jersey suburb on
account Of broken health, Is making
a splendid living by repacking fruit
and vegetables which he buys from
farmers and truckers, repacking them
and selling direct to the consumer.
He drives on an average 20 miles,
and the outdoor life has completely
restored his health.
Three years ago this man COM
menced business with a one-horse
wagon. He repacked his fruit and
vegetables with the aid OF a small
son. drove his own wagon. and con-
Quoted the entire business practically
alone.
He now owns two doubie-team
wagons, two single-ho wagons and
a light auto truck, covering four
routes, each from IL to Is miles long.
This man is simply doing what the
farmers and fruit-growers from whom
he buys his supplies ought to do them
selves II they would make all the
profit there Is to be made in the
business. Growing the crop is not all
Of the game. Marketing Is q good
half of 1t, and perhaps even more.
This New York self-made huckster
buys fruit and vegetables just as they
come from the farmers wagons. They
are delivered at his place often COW
cred with dirt, the fruit bruised and
scratched, vegetables untrimmed and
all generally unsorted.
The fruit, particularly the larger
varieties, such as apples, peaches and
pears. are carefully sorted and graded
by the huckster, the apples washed,
and the fruit is packed in small boxes
or baskets, clean, uniform and highly
attractive in appearance. Small fruits
such as cherries and berries are often
dumped out Of their original pack
ages as they come from the farmers.
sorted and repacked in clean boxes.
Cherries are packed in boxes that hold
from one-haN peck to one peck. and
over the top is tackled gauze to pro-
tect them from insects.
All root-vegetables are carefully
washed, topped and bound in lunches.
Tomatoes are graded and repacked in
clean baskets, and no damaged veg
etables are offered for sale.
