 kalies dissolve the preciijitated copper 

 of bordeaux mixture and torni new

 tion is used.

Apple buyers and consumers are demanding standardization and uniformity in tlie 

 grading and sizmg of apples. Tliis work is usually done by hand, costing from five to 

 Hfteen cents per box. The apple industry demands economy in every phase of the 

 business. Consequently an apple grower in Hood River has invented 



The Hood River Apple Sizer 



It will reduce the labor of grading and sizing from 20 to 30 per 

 cent after crop is in the apple house, making the little machine 



save J2.50 to ?6,00 per day. 



The Hood Kiver Apple Sizer 

 is simple in construction and 

 operation — with no complicated 

 machinery to get out of 

 order. It is small and 

 compact, occupying a 

 space of 4i.,xt; feet so it 

 can be used in any pack- 

 ing house, no 

 matter how 

 small. With 

 extra help it 

 has a capaci- 

 t y of .5 

 boxes perday 

 and the cost 

 of g ra d ing 

 and sizing 

 can be done 

 for 3c per 

 box. The 

 priceissolow 

 that every 

 grower, no 

 matter how small, cannot afford to be without it. ANY GROWER WITH A 1,1100 

 BOX CROP CAN SAVE THE COST OF THE MACHINE IN ONE YEAR.
