in northern cities estimated that 10
per cent of the oranges shipped from
Florida deeayed before reaching the
consumer. In 1918 the annual produc-
ton of cantalOupes in the southwest
ern states was estimated at 100000
standard crates of A melons each. and
Investigations showed that more than
one-tenth Of these melons reached the

The mistakes which western canta-
loupe growers and shippers made IL
lustrate the problems with which the
producers have TO deal. Many did not
realize that to insure desirable eating
and keeping quality, the cantaIoupes
destined for long-distance shipment
should be picked Just about the time
at which they win slip cleanly from
the stem, or slightly before this stage
Is reached. Ii was found. also, that
the common practices in handling the
fruit were unnecessarily rough and
that instead of allowing considerable
time to elapSe between picking and
loading into iced refrigerator cars,
they should have been loaded as soon
as possible. 1t was demonstrated that
the wrapping of cantaloupes was I'M
desirable. because the wrappers re-
taried the cooling and often caused
the cantaloupes to become moldy at-
ter they were removed from the re-
frigerator cars

fruit The chief strawberry decay is
one that develops very rapidly under
favorable temperatures. and the fun

IN bruised fruit Therefore poorly
handled berries. even If shipped In

decay after being removed from the

number Of small dealers have no IA

Problems for Celery Shippers
There are problems also for ship

found, for example, that head lettuce
cut so as to eliminate the lower two
or three leaves and deprived of all
diseased leaves, develops far less de-

manner followed by many shippers.
Celery Is often injured because II Is
