Change in Pooling System 



A number of important changes have 

 been made bv the Central Selling Agency 

 of British Columbia in regard to the rules 

 and regulations covering the grading, 

 packing, and standardizing of fruit. The 

 most important change is perhaps in the 

 method of pooling which has been one of 

 the most difficult problems with which the 

 management have had to deal, and a care- 

 ful consideration of the new method would 

 indicate that much of the unwieldiness of 

 the former method has been disposed of. 



Up to now it has been the practice to 

 open a separate pool for each variety of 

 fruit, and last season for apples alone 

 there \verc more than 140 pools. This ye;n 

 tliere will probably be less than fiftyi pools 

 for apples, thus greatly reducing the ex- 

 penses of operating and bookkeeping.

This will be brought about by the adoption 

 of a list of standard varieties, which will be 

 known as the "Main Crop List." The 

 other hundred or more varieties will be 

 handled as an orchard run pack, graded as 

 "No. 2 Special." This same plan is to be 

 followed in the handling of other fruits 

 as well as apples. 



The "Main Crop List" of apples, which 

 is divided into three general classes — 

 summer, early fall, and fall amd winter — 

 will be graded into numbers one and two, 

 and include the following varieties : 



Summer : Red, White and Striped Astra- 

 chan. Yellow Transparent, Early Harvest, 

 Early Colton, Sweet Bough, Tetofsky, and 

 Liveland Raspberry. 



Early P'all : Duchess, Wealthy, Graven- 

 stein, Jeffries, and Maiden Blush. 



Fall and Winter : Arkansas Black, Bald- 

 win, Canada Baldwin, Canada Red, Cox's 

 Orange, Delicious, Fameuse', Gano, Grimes 

 Golden, Hubbardson's Nonsuch, Jonathan. 

 Kaihn of Spitz, King David, Mackintosh 

 Red, New York Wine, Northern Spy, On- 

 tario, Rawls Jennette, Ribston Pippin, 

 Rome Beauty, Snow, Seek-No-Further, Spit- 

 zenburg, Stamen Wimesap, Sutton Beauty, 

 Wagener, Winesap, Winter Banana, W. W. 

 Permatn, and Yellow Newtown. 



Plums, which will be graded into num- 

 bers one and two and standardized, will 

 be: Black Diamond, Bradshaw, Burbank, 

 Columbia, Coe's Golden Drop, Damson, 

 Greengagie', Imperial Gage, Lombard, 

 Peach, Pond's Seedling, Sugar, Tragedy, 

 and Yellow Egg. Other plums will be 

 treated as orchard Vun pac^s, not pooled 

 according to variety, but will be graded 

 numbers one and two. 



Several of the most popular varijeties 

 of peaches will be pooled in crops accord- 

 ing to season. Hale's Early, Brigg's Rem 

 May, and the Alexanders will be pooled 

 together, as will the Dewey and Triumph. 

 A third pool will include Fitzgerald, Fos- 

 ter, and Early Crawfords. Late Crawfords, 

 Elbertas, Yellow St. Johns, and yellow free 

 stones will each have separate pools, while 

 all of the peaches will be graded number 

 one and number two. 



Another important ruling relates to the 

 weight of the packages of the different 

 fruits all of which have varied, some not 

 a great deal, others considerably. As an 

 instance the minimum gross weight of a 

 box of apples must be forty-nine pounds. 

 If a package does not come up to this 

 weight it will be regraded number two.
