Crescent CITY News


The problem of keeping pace with
the advanced methods of marketing
citrus fruits, now that the industry
mas new and permanent enemies
which have necessitated washing and
drying the fruit before shipment
has been serious one, especially to
the small grower. Washing machines
are expensive necessities. But the
problem is about to be solved, at least,
SO far as Crescent City is concerned.
True, Chase & Co., Crutchfield d
Voolfolk, Hardee, Mcfarland & Hunt
and other large packers and shippers
have done much toward solving the
problem for the small grower and
will continue to do so. But a new
plan is now on foot which will not
only help the small grower, but will
do more than anything heretofore
tried to place the Crescent City or.
ange in its rightful place in the mar.
kets of the country.

and the packing houses of the Will
hams Groves are hereafter to be man.

sort of local citrus eXchange-in
which all fruit sent forward, whether
grown by Mccormick, Hubbs, the vii.
liams' Groves or by others, will all
go out under one Crescent City brand.
All will be put up in the best art of
the modern packer and properly grad
ed, first being thoroughly washed and
dried by improved methods. The
scheme is precisely like that of the
Florida Citrus Exchange, which has
no local organization here. These
packing houses have been equipped
with the most improved machinery
and this is so constructed as to thor.
oughly wash, and what is more i'm
portant still, thoroughly dry, the fruit
before packing. E. N. Maui has just
completed the new machinery in the
Mccormick packing house. THIS
house will be used exclusively for
round oranges. The Williams pack
ing houses, will be used exclusively for
tangerines and grapefruit, and the
machinery for washing and drying
the former has been so arranged as
to do the work without injuring the
fruit in the least.
