there will be no shifting or breakage

able. 1t should be well padded and
have only sufficient slant to provide
for the easy movement of the fruit. In
emptying from the field box to the
hopper, the greatest care should be
exercised to transfer the fruit without
dropping it or throwing it any dis
lance This operation can be accom-
plished with little or no injury either
by holding the fruit back with the arm
or hands in emptying or by using a
canvas cloth to hold the fruit back so
as to allow it to roll out easily and
gently from the box into the hopper.
Washing and Cleaning.
In many sections of the Gulf coast
region where citrus fruits are grown,
the washing or cleaning of the fruit
prior to packing is absolutely neces-
sary, in order to remove the sooty-
mold fungus which follows the attacks
of white, fly and other insects. Wash
ing will continue to be one of the
necessary handling operations until
the growers take the necessary steps
to control the white fly in citrus
groves and to grow clean, bright fruit.
If the fruit is in such condition that
it has TO be washed, it is essential
that every precaution be. taken to per-
form this operation in such a way as
to infiict as little injury as possible
on the fruit as it passes through. the
washing machine. Extensive investi-
cations have shown that the decay in
packed fruit is largely due to injuries
received or aggravated during the
operations of washing and drying. The
bad effects following washing are due
not so much to actual injuries made
in passing fruit through the machine
as to the incubation of injured and
bruised spots with spores through the
agency of dirty and infected water.
Injuries made in the grove or in other
operations of handling, or injuries
made as the fruit passes through the
machinery, are aggravated by the adj
ditiOn of moisture, especially when
the water is not clean.
The three main causes of decay fol-
lowing the washing and drying opera
tons are q dirty and infected water
in the soaking tank, CD poorly con-
structed or operated washing machin-
cry, and CD the slow or but partial
drying of the fruit under unfavorable
climatic conditions. The first can
largely be obviated by proper handling
of the fruit in the field and in hauling,
so as to bring it to the washer in
sound, uninjured condition, and by fire.
quently changing the water in the
washing tank. The washing tank may
be eliminated entirely and a spray
substituted before the fruit reaches
the washing machine, in addition to

of the greatest Importance that the
grading rules be strictly adhered 10
and that the first grade contains no
fruit except such as is clean and free
from blemish and which comes up to
the first-grade requirements in every
way. If there exists any doubt regard
ing the grade in which the fruit is to
be placed, it is much better to place
it in a lower grade. Good grading
goes hand in hand with good, careful
work in the other operations of har-
vesting and handling
Avoid Long Drops From Sizer To Bin.
In equipping packing house, sepa-
rate sizers are usually provided for
each grade and one bin for each size
of a grade Great care should be
exercised in constructing and arrang-
ing the bins so as to guard both against
long drops from the sizer to the bin
and the piling up of fruit in the portion
of the bin next to the sizer to such
an extent as to interfere with the
proper sizing of the fruit Accuracy
in sizing is of great Importance in de-
termining the appearance of the pack
and the price paid for the fruit at the
market end
Next to soundness and keeping quail
ity, the appearance and attractiveness
of the pack is one of the greatest fac
tors in determining the market price
of fruit. 1t therefore is of the greatest
Importance that this part of the hand
ling operations be carefully and eff
GENTLY supervised
The best pack for all purposes is
firm, moderately high one, all of the
fruit being packed in firmly and tight
ly from bottom to top. If the fruit
throughout is firmly tightly packed
and it remains in sound condition, the
pack will not become slack in transit
as is the case where the fruit is rath-
er loosely packed in the bottom of the
box
Considerable injury and harm is
done by dragging the oranges around
in the bins and tossing the off sizes
into neighboring bins. Every packer
should wear a glove, at least on The
hand which picks up the fruit, SO as
to avoid finger-nail scratching. The
picking bin should be thoroughly pad
ded and kept tree from dry twigs and
other trash and the drop from the sizer
to the bin should be the shortest pos
sible.
In wrapping citrus preparatory 10

placed in the twist Of the paper and

spraying it as it goes through or over
the brushes Where the fruit is badly
covered with sooty mold, soaking
tank is almost necessity. Where
used, the water should be changed
frequently, at least two or three times
day.
Types Of Driers.
After the fruit has been washed, il
may be run through dry brushes or
directly to dryer or to drying racks.
Of late, most of the packing houses.
at least the larger ones, have substi-
tuted artificial dryers for the drying
racks so common few years ago. A
drying rack, if properly handled and
placed, may from some standpoints be
satisfactory. If placed outside of the
packing house, drying can be done
only during favorable weather. To
place the drying rack inside of the
house means the elevation of the fruit
a considerable distance and the roll
ing OF this fruit down rather steep
gravity runs. 1t is almost impossible
to keep such devices free from splin-
tiers or to handle the fruit on them
without infiicting more or less injury.
The artificial dryers now in use are
open somewhat to the same objection
in that they do not do satisfactory
work under the most unfavorable eli
matte conditions or during prolonged
periods of rainy weather. Great i'm
provements in dryers, however, con-
stantly are being made, and, where
handled, more satisfactory
work can be obtained with artificial
dryers than with the ordinary drying
racks.
1t is of the greatest Importance that
the fruit be thoroughly and quickly
dried. The blue-mold spores require
moisture for termination. If the fruit
is left for any length of time in a
moist condition. or if the fruit is
packed while still wet, ideal conditions
for the termination of these spores
are provided. Under these circum-
stances if any of the oranges are in
iured decay is certain to result.
Good Lift For Grading.
The fruit usually is run on grading
belts directly from the dryer. These
grading belts may be either of canvas
Or in the form of roller conveyors which
keep turning the fruit as it passes be-
fore the graders. In order to do grad
ing properly, it is necessary to have
good light This point can hardly be
overestimated, as one of the most COM
mon mistakes in building a packing
house is to provide insufficient light
for grading.
The grading of the fruit is entirely
without reference to size. Whatever
grades are made or established it is

vision of machinery and equipment
especially designed to handle the fruit
! both economically and carefully are
! largely wasted The injurious results
of bad field handling can not be coun-
teracted or atoned for in the packing
house.
Hints On Packins-House Equipment.
Wherever possible, it is desirable to
locate the packing house near the
railroad, in order that the fruit after
it is packed can be loaded directly into
the car from loading platform with
out further hauling or loading and I'M
leading from wagon. In general, it
may be said that the best packing
house is not necessarily the one that
has the most machinery in it or one
that costs the most. The size of a
packing house and the character Of its
equipment will depend largely upon
the amount of fruit to be handled and
whether the fruit has to be washed or
cleaned. In equipping and arranging
the machinery the thing that should
be kept in mind more than any other
is simplicity.
The fruit should be kept on one level

Washington, d. c., Dec. 16.-In the
packing houses, citrus fruits are sub
ject to injury in numerous ways in
the course of the various operations
of cleaning, drying, grading, sizing and
packing. The most common causes of
injury are rough, careless handling by
the workers, poor arrangement of ma
chinery, undesirable types of washing
machinery or machines carelessly
operated, badly constructed drying
racks or inefficient dryers, and steep
gravity inclines of drops, says the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture.

vision and Payment of
Picking Crews.

FiNNii'S
Where the picking is done by pick
ing crews hired by the grower, ship
per, or marketing organization, good
reliable foreman should be secured.
1t should be the duty of this foreman
to see that all pickers do their work
carefully and properly, that the clip
pers are in good condition and that
the picking boxes are in good repair,
and generally to supervise the quality
of work in field handling. In order
that he may know just what kind OF
work his pickers are doing, he should
make frequent inspection of each
mans work, ascertaining by actual
count the percentage of clipper cuts.
long stems, and other injuries and i'm
perfections These duties, if proper
ly and conscientiously performed,
will require all his time, and in most
cases he should not be required to
do any picking. The payment of pick
ers by the day, instead OF by the box
is preferable from the standpoint Of
securing careful and proper work, as
box or piece labor usually puts a
premium on quantity. Careful inspec-
ton of the character Of work secured
under the two systems of labor pay
ment has shown conclusively that the
pickers working by the day do on the
average much better work. On the
other hand, good work can be secured
with either the boX-payment or day
payment plan if the labor is properly
supervised The character of work
done by picking crew depends on the
foreman, and the responsibility for
the field handling rests primarily with
him. An efficient foreman can secure
careful work under either system of
payment, though much more easily
when the pickers are paid by the day.

Handling Citrus Fruit
In The South

J handling is the poor condition of the
field box. Every box sent into the
orchard or grove should be thorough
ly inspected, kept in good repair, and
free from protruding nails, splinters,
gravel and twigs. A box entirely
boarded over ON the bottom is prefer
able, as this prevents injury by stems
or weeds and other objects that might
otherwise extend into the box and in
jure the fruit. The boxes should not
be filled or heaped to such an extent
that any fruit will rise above the end
pieces, as otherwise the boxes when
stacked will rest on the fruit instead
of on the ends of the boxes them
selves.
The breakage and bad repair of
careless handling in disposing of them
after emptying or in distributing them
in the orchard, where they are often
thrown violently and carelessly from
the wagon into piles on the ground.
Due care should be used in handling
the boxes while filed, in order not to
injure the fruit in them. but equal
care is required in the handling Of
the field equipment when empty, in
order to guard against breakage,
splintering, ETC.
Guard Against JoIting or Rough
Handling.
The wagons on which the fruit is
hauled should always be provided
with good springs, and no fruit, under
any circumstances, should be hauled
on springless wagons, no matter how
good the roads may be. The utmost
care should be used both in loading
and unloading to guard against I'M
necessary jolting or rough handling
Where the heavier types of boxes are
used, it is not an infreQuent occur
renee to see them set down or dropped
with such force as to cause consider
able fruit to bound out on the floor Of
the packing house. Care in handling
the fruit both in the field and packing
house is oftentimes largely nulIified
by careless, rough handling in hauling
and unloading.
