COMMUNITY PACKING
OF APPLES SUCCESS
in THE NORTHWEST
Report of Popular New Enterprise
by Government Specialists Gives
Best Methods Learned Last Year.


WASHINGTON, July 1s.---Commu-
nifty packing houses are likely
to solve the problem of labor in
handling, in short period the in
creasing apple crop of the Pacific
northwest. The success of the CEN
tralized packing plants in 1915, not
previously tried to any considerable
extent in this region, was indicated
by the wide adoption of this plan last
season when perhaps one-fourth of
the crop in oregon and washington
was packed in community houses.
investigations of the new enterprise
last season conducted by specialists
in the office of markets in the United
States department OF agriculture,
and now published in preliminary
report, make available for interested
organizations and individuals, sugges-
tions as to best methods of con-
structing, equipping. and operating
such packing plants.
The advantages of the community
over the individual or ranch plan of
packing; according to the specialists,
are better and more uniform grading
and packing, obtaining experienced
labor more readily and using lnex-
perienced labor more effectively, us
ing expensive labor-saving equipment
such as sizing machines and gravity
conVeyors which the small grower
could not afford. and the simplify
ing and facilitating of inspection
work
The community packing house
scheme. is new and consequently an
unprotected phase OF the apply in
dustry. Although the idea was wide
ly employed last year its adaptations
were largely experimental, Investi-
cation by department specialists was
undertaken to sift from the various
plans tried. the best and most eco
nomical method of handling apples
through all the operations of pick
ing, hauling from the orchard, re-
ceiving al the packing house, grad
ing sizing, packing. storing and load
ing on tn cars. Sixty packing houses
at or near Spokane. North Yakima,
Wenatchee. Cashmere, Entiat. Pater-
os, Brewster, Okanogan. Omak and
Walla Walla, Washington, and Hood
River and Medford, Oregon. were in
cluded in the stuy OF these sixty
houses, thirty-three were operated as
community houses. seven were oper-
ated by dealers somewhat on the
community plan. and twenty were
ranch houses Individual or ranch
packing houses and operations were
included in the investigation so that
the efficiency and economy of the
two systems might be compared.
While the investigators preferred
not to draw definite conclusions from
a single seasons work. the discus
sions of equipment, organization and
personnel. a floor unit, general op-
GRAFTON, and specifically the opera
ton, and specifically the operations
in two typical houses, which make
up the report, provide for growers of
the northwest what should prove
helpful summary of methods that
were most successful last week.
