Packing Apple Ammunition 



Continued from page 6. 



encd to another box. A rubber cot is 

 worn on the thumb to assist in picking 

 up the paper. 



Wrapping apples is quite a trick. As 

 the paper is held in one hand the apple 

 is picked up with the other and placed, 

 or rather thrown, into the middle of the 

 sheet. As the hand closes over the 

 apple the edges are caught by the other 

 hand and given a slight twist, after 

 which the apple is placed firmly in 

 position in the box, folded side of the 

 paper underneath. 



Nearly all sizes of apples go into two 

 styles of diagonal packs, three-two and 

 two-two. The former is so called be- 

 cause three apples are placed across the 

 end of the box, then two, and so on. 

 Of the first three, one goes in each cor- 

 ner and one in the middle. The next 

 two tit into the spaces between them, 

 while the next three are placed in a 

 position to the first three. The third 

 and fifth layers are packed the same, 

 but the second and fourth layers are 

 packed two-three. That is, only two 

 apples are laid next to the end of the 

 box, iitting into the spaces below, be- 

 tween the apples in the layer under- 

 neath. 



The two-two pack is started by plac- 

 ing an apple in one corner and another 

 midway between it and the other cor- 

 ner. Of the next two apples, one is laid 

 next to the space between the two just 

 placed and the other in the space be- 

 tween one of the apples and the side of 

 the box. All the layers in this pack are 

 started the same way, only the corner 

 apple is placed in the opposite corner 

 from the one which contains an apple 

 in the layer below. 



Apples of which 104 or less fill a box 

 are put into two-two packs, which have 

 four layers, four rows to the layer, 

 while all smaller sizes are packed three- 

 two, having five layers of five rows 

 each. 



A postal scales is a great aid in de- 

 termining in what pack apples of a cer- 

 tain size will go. This is found by 

 dividing the weight of the apple into 

 the weight of a box of apples, the lat- 

 ter being 45 pounds, or 720 ounces. For 

 example, apples weighing a half pound 

 each go into the 88 pack; seven-ounce 

 apples pack 104; six ounce, 125; five 

 ounce, 150; four ounce, 175. The use of 

 a scales makes it possible to pick out 

 for the grader guide apples of exactly 

 the right size. 



In exhibition packs the apples are all 

 turned one way, but in commercial 

 packs they are turned any way to make 

 them fit closely together, so they won't 

 work loose. In some packs, such as the 

 104 and the smaller three-two packs, 

 the apples in each layer fit closely to- 

 gether, while in others, such as the 112, 

 they must be left quite loose, being held 

 in place by the apples above and below. 



Given apples of a certain size, how 

 can they be packed to "come out right"? 

 It is all a matter of selection and know- 

 ing which way to turn the apple when 

 it is laid in place. An expert packer 

 must be a good judge of form and size, 

 able quickly and accurately to measure 



I Say "DontBuy 

 this Tractor or 

 Any Ot her Until 

 You Get this Book" 



It tells all about the most 

 wonderful little Tracklaying 

 Tractor ever built for Orchard 



and Vineyard work. Write J 



me today, or send the "Tractor Oppor- p 



tunity" coupon. Lowest prices now. ■ 



My name is W. B. Raymond, and I am J 



the man in this concern whose job it is J 



to get the story of the wonderful little ■ 



Bean TrackPULL Tractor before orchard- J 



ists and vineyardists. And I say "Don't J 



buy this tractor or any other until you ■ 



get the TrackPULL story, because that 5 



story may revolutionize your tractor ideas S 

 to your great benefit. 



"There are some things that the Track- E 



PULL won't do, and you want to know 5 



those things before you buy a Bean _ 



TrackPULL — and there are other things g 



it trill do that other tractors can't do, pj 



and those things are vitally important, B 



particularly to vineyardists and or- pj 

 chardists. 



"The front drive principle — steering g 



with the track that PULLS — is just one pj 



of the features of this great little tractor pj 



that is patented. No other tractor is like ■ 



it. A patent, of course, always means a ■ 



big advantage. ■ 



"Look at the illustration. The Bean — ■ 



6 h. p. at the draw bar — pulls instead of ■ 



pushes itself over the ground, and you ■ 



steer with the track that pulls. That I 



means you can do everything with the ■ 



Bean that you do with horses plus a lot I 



of things horses and other tractors never ■ 



have done — like going under tree-boughs ■ 



only four feet off the ground and pulling ■ 



full load on turns. The Bean works be- ■ 



tween seven-foot rows in vineyards — ■ 

 that's another advantage. 



"But I couldn't begin to show you in ■ 



an ad all the advantages. They've got to ■ 



go into a book, and you ought to have ■ 



that book before you buy a tractor be- ■ 

 cause it will save you money."
