LARGE NUMBER
LEARNS TO PACK
INSPECTORS ARE THE INSTRUCTORS
Association Holds Annual School Daily
Free Lecture on Grading Rules
An Added Feature

A glance at the cards they are study.
ing might lead one in these days of war
news to think that the students at the
Apple Growers Association packing
school were studying army tactics
But the diagrams of the placards do
not represent the possible maneuvers
OF battalllons and army corps. The
charts show the methods of packing
apples. Men and women seeking in
struction in this wholesome and remun-
erative art have mOtilized from all
parts of the Hood River valley. They
have come from Underwood and White
Salmon, and the Willamette valley ard
Portland are represented.
One Of the sections of the storage
house of the Apple Growers Union
plant, temporarily a school room. has
presented busy scene since Monday,
when the packing school opened for
registration. Apple laden packil z
tables have been arranged conveniently
in the room, and around them are
grouped the boxes of the students. Ii
is an interesting sight to view the in
tent faces of the beginners, men, wo-
men, boys and girls. Instructors hover
about the working groups ready to
demonstrate the methods of placing the
fruit A smile of satisfaction lights up
the face of beginner. He has finished
his first box Of fruit and regards it
with pride. But the Inspector comes
and deftly lifts an apple from the rows
of the pack, showing that larger one
or perhaps smaller one should have
been placed there. And so the work
continues.
The school is being attended by
growers, many of whom are not taking
the lessons in packing. They are at.
tracted by the daily lectures on the
rules of grading. An effort is being
made to thoroughly instruct all inter
ested in the fruit industry in the grad
ing rules, which will be mainland this
year strictly according to letter.
