A Packing Demonstrator 



Owing to the increased demand for box- 

 ed apples, more particularly in the western 

 market, and on account of the inability of 

 most eastern growers to pack boxes with 

 sufficient skill to render them attractive, it 

 was considered expedient by the Dominion 

 Government to appoint an apple packing 

 demonstrator. This appointment was made 

 by Mr. J. A. Ruddick, Dairy and Cold 

 Storage Commissioner, under whose direc- 

 tion the work of the Fruit Division was at 

 that time carried on. The position was 

 filled by Mr. P. J. Carey, who had been in 

 the employ of the Dairy and Cold Storage 

 Branch for several years as Chief Fruit 

 Inspector. 



Since then Mr. Carey's services have 

 been much in demand, and he has found 

 ample scope among the growers of Ontario 

 and Eastern Canada for his ability. Ap- 

 plications for Mr. Carey's services, made 

 to Mr. D. Johnson, Fruit Commissioner, 

 Ottawa, will receive prompt attention. 



Great skill is required in the packing of 

 fruit iin boxes. There are many growers 

 in the east who have never packed fruit in 

 any other package than the barrel, and to 

 these the art of box packing is particularly 

 difficult. Mr. Carey has done much to 

 raise the standard of boxed apples in On- 

 tario, and has also given demonstrations 

 in Quebec and the Maritime Provinces.with 

 the result that many of the more progres- 

 sive growers in eastern Canada are now 

 fairly expert packers. 



In addition to demonstrations at exhibi- 

 tions and similar meetings, Mr. Carey has 

 visited many packing gangs in the or- 

 chards of Ontario, particularly, and in this 

 way has been able to give first hand as- 

 sistance to many whom he could not reach 

 in any other way. Much instruction work 

 of this nature has been done and as the 

 ciuality of boxed apples shipped from On- 

 tario is increasing every year to meet the 

 growing demands, there is every likeli- 

 hood that demonstration wotk in apple 

 packing will continue to effect excellent 

 results. 



It is a mistake to think that men capable 

 of running a large business, like a coopera- 

 tive fruit growers' association, successfully 

 are plentiful. They are scarce. It is a mis- 



take to underpay them. They should be 

 given a remuneration that satisfies them, 

 and their work will be better. If their work 

 is not satisfactory they should be dismissed 

 but if it is satisfactory there shoiuld be no 

 haggling over remuneration. — D. Johnson, 

 Canadian Fruit Commissioner.
