The Exposition jury found Zerolene first in lubri-

 qualities, in purity and uniformity. A victory for 

 Standard products made from California crudes, 

 in competition with other gasolines and automo-

RELIABLE 



Picking Receptacles. — Every grower 

 should be careful about picking his 

 apples, endeavoring to prevent all un- 

 necessary bruising. There are several 

 picking receptacles on the market in 

 the way of picking buckets with canvas 

 bottoms, and some canvas bags, which 

 will bruise the apples less than ordi- 

 nary buckets. These patent devices 

 are also easier to empty and the empty- 

 ing is done not only more rapidly biit 

 with less bruising. 



Apple Packing. — First, secure able 



packers who put up an honest pack. 

 Beware of the apple packer who packs 

 too many boxes in one day. ^Vhile some 

 packers may exceed 100 boxes per day, 

 under favorable conditions with a large 

 run of sizes, a good packer taking all 

 grades, sizes and conditions as they 

 occur throughout the harvesting season 

 will very seldom average much over 100 

 boxes, while there are many who can- 

 not and will not average this quantity. 



September 



Apple Harvesting. — Apple harvesting 



will commence in various sections the 

 latter part of September or the early 

 part of October, therefore a few sug- 

 gestions in the way of preparation may 

 be of some value to the fruitgrowers 

 vyho are inclined to be, frankly, just a 

 little lax in making thorough prepara- 

 tion in advance of the harvesting 

 season. 



Apple Picking. — Don't expect your 



apple pickers to pick more than a rea- 

 sonable number of boxes a day. \Mien- 

 ever a picker picks too many boxes 

 generally he will knock off, by work- 

 ing rapidly and through being careless, 

 a large number of fruit spurs, which 

 will make the crop short next year.
