the Iriiit wa.s packed it was labeled and 

 sent downstairs by gravity, either into 

 an iced car or if necessary into our 

 cool rooms, where it would be held 

 twenty-four or forty-eight hours, or 

 two weeks if advisable, under ideal 

 conditions. With later varieties of 

 pears and apples the necessity for night 

 hauling was removed, although we con- 

 tinued to haul at night as much as pos- 

 sible because of the convenience of so 

 doing. Thus we have had one crew 



varying in size according In the amount 

 of fruit to be packed, in constant opera- 

 tion since the first week in August. 

 There has been one head packer over 

 this crew, whose constant and only 

 duty has been to supervise and insijcet 

 the pack. The growers have not pur- 

 chased from us a single box or a single 

 sheet of pai)cr, and we know where 

 every particle of material has gone and 

 exactly what, if any, our waste has 

 been. Perhaps fortunately for us the 



cro]) of our district has this year been 

 a light one and we have been permitted 

 to work out this experiment under con- 

 ditions which did not result in tremen- 

 dous crowding. We have made mis- 

 takes, but no vital ones. We have 

 gained the experience of a full season's 

 work, and can most certainly correct 

 these mistakes another season and im- 

 I)rove in many minor details upon the 

 general method. The improvement in 

 the ijhysical handling of the fruit, both 

 from the standjjoint of bruising and of 

 keeping the fruit in proper tempera- 

 tures, and the improvement in our 

 grading and general standardization of 

 pack and mechanical excellence of it 

 has been very marked. One large 

 foreign buyer, after careful inspection 

 of our methods and our packed fruit, 

 characterized the pack as the best he 

 had seen. We are peculiarly fortimate 

 in our district in having on the whole 

 very good roads and comparatively 

 easy hauls. Our association is also 

 |)eculiarly fortunate in having cold- 

 storage facilities which are available 

 immediately after the fruit is packed. 



The possibilities of this system seem 

 to me very far reaching. Our district, 

 and I believe every district in the 

 Northwest, must come sooner or later 

 to a co-oi)erative use of our waste 

 material. With all of our culls or 

 otherwise unpackable fruit collected in 

 one place, the day is not far distant 

 when we may be able to install as an 

 adjunct to our packing and cold- 

 storage plant an up-to-date cannery and 

 apple-.iuice factory. This will do away 

 with the great problem of what to do 

 with our culls, and while we all hope 

 for the time when the percentage of 

 culls shall be reduced to a negligible 

 quantity, we all know full well that 

 there never will be a year when a large 

 fresh-fruit i)acking plant, such as ours 

 is bound to be, will not have an abun- 

 dance of waste material that can be 

 advantageously turned into some by- 

 product. 



In conclusion let me say that cen- 

 tralization of packing has, in my opin- 

 ion, come to stay; that it will ilo more, 

 especially in connection with cold- 

 storage facilities, toward the proper 

 handling of our fruit and the proper 

 standardization of our pack and im- 

 proved deliveries in all the markets of 

 the world, than any single plan or 

 idea that has ever been tried out by the 

 deciduous fruitgrowers of the North- 

 west.
