From Far-Away Australia 



Clyde Sani])son, son of E. E. Samp- 

 son, recently returned from Australia, 

 where he was engagerl for two years 

 instructing orchardists in the most 

 improved ways of growing, harvesting, 

 packing and selling fruit. He assisted 

 in organizing the Australia Co-oper- 

 ative Exporting and Distributing Com- 

 pany, with head olFice at Melbourne 

 and branches throughout the different 

 fruit sections. Mr. .Sampson states that 

 giiiwers over there have met with dis- 

 api)ointnients in co-operation in the 

 past similar to the disapijointments ex- 

 IJerienced in the Northwest. He states 

 that the trouble has been largely due to 

 the co-operation being started by 

 theorists, but that now co-operation is 

 getting on the right basis and that the 

 co-operative concern for whom he has 

 been working is rapidly increasing 

 their business. It costs the Australian 

 I'luitgiowcr about twenty-five or thirty 

 cents per bushel to harvest his crop. 

 .\pples are packed in what they call 

 "cases," holding a bushel, and being 

 8% inches high, 14V4 inches wide and 

 IS inches long. The four sides are rigid 

 and the apples are packed without any 

 bulge. They formerly used excelsior, 

 but Mr. Sampson showed them the 

 diagonal pack, which enables them to 

 pack the apples firmly and do away 

 with the excelsior.
