AnotluT way of dctfrminiiig the .stage 

 (if maturity i.s by lilting and turning 

 tile apiile back toward the twig. If the 

 stem parts readily from the twig, with- 

 out the use of force, the apple is ready 

 to pick. This is also an advantage of 

 no small importance when rapidity of 

 picking is considered, for by the use of 

 a picking receptacle which leaves both 

 hands free, the apples can be gathered 

 in with greatest case and rapidity. For 

 Ijacking and shipping, the apples, in 

 the advanced stage of maturity above 

 desciibed, cannot be safel> handled. 

 Only with very careful work in pick- 

 ing and packing, and then onlv in small 

 packages, can mature apples be shipped 

 safelx-. 



When picking for shipping oi- late 

 storage, color may make the more de- 

 l)en(lable guide. This, of course, re- 

 ([uires a certain ac(|uaintance with the 

 varielies, in order to recognize the 

 proper color, and also a knowledge of 

 the behavior of the variety in storage, 

 so that the maximum color may be de- 

 veloped at maturity. It is probabh 

 safe to assume that there shoidd be no 

 decided yellowing of the winter apples 

 before picking for shipment. When the 

 under colors turn from gieeii to yellow 

 shades, it indicates the ajjproaching 

 maturit\ of the apple, with consecpient 

 mellowing and danger of biuising 

 when handled. It is at this stage also 

 thai the fungi causing decax most 

 readilx' develoj). 



Helaining the stems of apples when 

 |)icki]ig, while not .so imjjortant as 

 some have considered it to be, is 

 of sudicieni importance that pickers 

 should know how to part the apjtle 

 from the Iwig at the proper place. 

 Witli long-slenuned varielies like Ben 

 Davis, Home, (Irimes, etc., this is a 

 matter onl\ of properly gras|)ing tlie 

 api)le when picking. .\ lingei- or tliuuib 

 placed at the junctuie of stem and 

 twig, and a turn of the apple, bending 

 the stem at that point should elfect the 

 removal without breaking ellbei- the 

 stem or twig. Wilh short-stemmed 

 apples like York, Roxbury, While Pip- 

 pin or Babbit, this method is almost 

 Impossible. With Ihese varieties a 

 condjined pull and sidewise Iwist ac- 

 complishes about the most that can l)e 

 expected. Kven then it is very dilllcult 

 to prevent snapping the twigs. The 

 advantage of thinning to not more than 

 one apple on a twig should not be over- 

 looked in this connection. The num- 

 ber of "drops" while i)icking is much 

 .i-'reatei- when Ihc apples hang in 

 clusters. 



Both bands are reiiuired to ijick a 

 cluster of three or more, and this is 

 ofleii dillicult or impossible when in 

 the tree or on a laddei'. Then when 

 one or two are removed from the 

 cluster the others often fall. As with 

 many othei- similar operations, the re- 

 sourcefulness and ingenuity of the 

 picker will deternune very largely his 

 ediciency in bringing the apples from 

 the tree to the packing table in proper 

 I'ondilion, and it is upon this elTiciency 

 more than upon any cut-and-diied 

 metliods that we must depend for 

 results.
