NEW PACKING METHOD
INTERESTS GROWERS

IT. the opinion Of representative fruit
growers who witnessed his dem0nstra-
lions here last week. George Sykes.
Who has made a life profession af
packing apples and citrus fruits. may
have evolved "a system that Will revOlu-
tlonlZe the preparation Of boxed apples
for the market. The new system calls
for box divided by a central partI-
ton into two compartments Of cublcal
shape. Wrapping paper Is not needed,
although il may De used If the packer
of apples desires Squares Of stiff
paper. bearing a ge0metric arrange
ment Of die cat sits, are placed INTO
the compartment for each layer of APP
pies. Thus the most inexperienced la
borer may pack apples, each square
forming q pattern. Nr. Sykes claims
that a l0-year old child can put up as
perfect pack by this system as an
experienced fruitman.
The new process will eliminate not
only the expense Of wrapping paper,
the cardboard filler reducing the paper
cost OF packing one cent per box over
the old system, but the new boxes cost
five cents less, at current quotations,
than the standard boxes now used by
! Northwestern growers. The boxes
used under the new system also weigh
far less than those Of standard design,
and Mr.. Sykes claims that more of
| them can be placed in a car. Thus the
transportation charges on carload Of
fruit will be materially reduced. The
old standard method of packing was
characterized 10y the bulge in the box,
which kept the pack tight. 1t was
necessary to stack the apples IN ears
on their sides. Under the new system
the fruit will be placed in cars ON end.
as oranges are now shipped. While
the bulge is eliminated under the new
system evolved by Mr.. Sykes, the ap-
pies, arranged geometrically with eight
| points of contact for each apple, pres
sure applied when the top is nailed on,
il is claimed, is equally distributed and
the fruit reaches market without any
blemishes that cause deterioration or
detract from its sale.
MIR. Sykes claims that his method
meets with the approval of recent or.
der Of shipping authorities who placed
a ban on fruit containers that required
bulge. Rough handling of boxes
with bulging sides, it is said. results
often in fruit reaching market in a
| badly bruised condition
Because practically all growers are
supplied with standard boxes for this
seasons requirements, the new system
will be tried out only on a small eXper-
mental scale. Mr. Sykes has demon
strated his new system in southern
Oregon. From here he will go to
" ashignon fruit districts. The dem
onstratlon was held under the auspices
Of the Blake-McFall Paper Co., Of
Portland, which has made arrange.
ments to supply NothWestern fruit
growers with limited number of the
new boxes and paper layer divisions.
Mr.. Sykes, as he says, has been a
tramp fruit packer for the past Is
years Most of the commercial packs
adopted by Northwestern fruit growers
were originated by him. His new sys-
tem will be tried out on a commercial
basis for the first time in California
districts this season. 1t will be dem
onstrated this fall to citrus growers Of
southern California.

Man Who Stayed at
Home" Not Improbable

The recent advent of German sub
marines along the Atlantic Coast re-
minds one of comments made earlier
in the season about "The~ Man Who
Stayed at Home" at the Forty-eighth
Street Theatre. The plot of the play
is centred around the activity of Ger
man submarines which have been or
dered to destroy American shipping
and transports. Until now people have
not treated the play seriously. "It is
very exciting and interesting, but, of
course, impossible" was what they said.
With war no longer 5000 miles away,
"The Man Who Stayed at Home" has
an added appeal. Not only does it out
line the German determination to de-
stroy American commerce in the At
lantic Ocean, but it points out that
Teutonic spies are on all sides.
Last Tuesday night one hundred
members Of the Department of Justice
in New York attended the performance
of "The Man Who Stayed at Home" in
q body.
The entire story of "The Man Who
Stayed at Home" revolves around Sc
cret plant for wireless, hidden in the
chimney place of summer hotel, and
installed to report the movements of
troops.

Clifton Crawford suffers from stage
fright That is why he won't do
"Gunga Din" any more nor sing
"Come into the garden, Maud" And
this isn't something that somebody
told US who knew a man who knew
Crawford 1t is something which he
himself told US.
All of the interviews which we ever
have read with Mr.. Crawford stated,
principally, that he used to be a golf
instructor. So we made up our mind
that we should not let this startling
fact embellish our tale, and then it
crept in-but it happened like this:
1t was in Fancy Free" The first act
was pretty. we'll along and Albert Van
Wyck, alias Clifton Crawford, had not
appeared. Every time you thought it
was his cue to come on pretty girl
would rush up to the hotel clerk and
ask for Mr.. Van Wyck, and then he
would non-appear again. The idea
was finally forced upon US that he was
trying to dodge the girls. Heavens!
What if he should succeed in lodging
them all night? What would. the show
be? We like chatter and pretty girls
and dances by Jack Mason, but we do
tire of them sometimes, and we never
tire of Clifton Crawford. But he
finally appeared, and then, in just a
minute, the curtain fell on the first
act. Or so 1t seemed.
In fear and trembling lest he should
not recite "Gunga Din" nor sing
Come into the garden, Maud" we
trailed him to his dressing-room and
learned, firstly, that he would do nei-
Their of those things, and, secondly,
that the reason was because he suf-
fered from stage fright. We agreed
to let him off with Gunga if he would
but wander once more in the garden
with Maud, but he remained obdu-
rate. in one of his scenes Cawford
likens himself to "a worm crawling
along on his little Journey" but if he
is worm he refused to turn. Never
again would he recite nor sing, and
this is the reason-stage fright.
