they may be set nearly parallel to
facilitate the distribution into the bins
of fruit which runs almost uniform in
size. This control is made possible by
a perfected hat rack movement which
is one of the unique features of this
machine.
AS the peaches come off the roller
conveyor they roll down a slight in
cline to the ropes on which they travel
until dropped through into canvas
bins. 1t is impossible to congest the
machine because the peaches are fed
one at a time to the moving ropes.
Some objections to former rope sizers
have been overcome through the use of
a special coupling device, an idler
which serves to keep the proper ten
sion on the ropes and the mechanism
which quickly widens or reduces the
space between the ropes. The machine,
which was devised particularly for six
basket carrier packing, can be used
equally we'll for bushel packs with
slight modification of the bins.
Possibilities for Other Fruits.
In announcing the perfected ma
chine, which is the work of tie grades
and standards project and the tech
biological laboratory of the bureau Of
markets, it is stated that the machine
has possibilities for grading other
fruits such as apples, pears and or
anges, while it may be possible to
modify it to handle sweet potatoes.
An application for a public patent
on this sizer Is pending in the patent
office, but the department can give
no assurance that a patent will be al
lowed on the machine or that some of
the elements covered by the applica-
ton are not already protected by eX-
listing patents. The bureau has applied
for patents on parts of the machine
in order to make them available to all,
and is ready to furnish a set of work.

turers for So which Is intended to

Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1920-08-05

This year a part of the peach crop
may be better graded at less expense
than heretofore by use of a new siZer
developed by government workers. Two
machines were built last year and test
ed under commercial conditions at
Leesburg Va, and Mayfield, Ga. In
formation gained through these tests
was used in perfeCting the present
machine, drawings of which are now
available to all growers or manufac-
turers interested, according to an
nOuncement by the bureau of markets.
The machine has several unique fea-
lures and advantages over existing
types of SiZerS which make it possible
to handle fruit with less bruising,
while its construction permits 10 to 10
packers to work at one time, thus max
ing possible run Of two to three car
loads of peaches a day from each ma
chine, the amount depending on the
average quality of the fruit. The over
all dimensions of the machine are
24X15 feet. It requires an electric
AllpN'l VI lCNS Niittll OllC NV IJpNCI "a
pacity, or a small gas engine, to ope-
rate it, and it can be run at half ca
pacity if desired. Under commercial
conditions it should be sold at a price
not to exceed $50, according to esti-
mates of the designers.
How 1t Works.
The peaches from the orchard are
delivered on an inclined roller convey
or, on each side of which sOrterS stand
and pick out culls and damaged fruit
The rotation Of the peaches on this
conveyor, which is obtained without
bruising, enables the sOrterS to see the
entire surface of the fruit without
touching 1t. From this roller convey
Or the peaches are delivered to two
sets of ropes running over pulleys.
A simple lever arrangement permits
the adjustment of the spaces between
these ropes to accommodate any size
fruit it Is desired to grade. Although
the ropes diverge from each other I'M

PURE BREEDS ARE PAMPERED
Supposition That Common Fowls Are
Most Hardy Is Erroneous-only
Strongest Survive.

The supposition that common fowls
are harder than pure breeds is not
borne out by the facts. Those who
hatch chicks of the common kinds lose
large number of them. only the
strongest surviving, and every year
they are more and more inbred. The
pure breeds suffer from being PAM
pered by their owners In many In
