PICKING, PACKING, AND MARKETING "]"] 



some form of bookkeeping should be carried 

 out so that each worker will receive full 

 credit for the number of boxes picked. The 

 system of a tallyman, who has each picker's 

 name, and marks against these names the 

 number of boxes picked, has not proved 

 satisfactory, because of the lack of confidence 

 in the tallyman by the pickers. 



The method of giving checks which have 

 numbers from one to ten on them, denoting 

 the number of boxes received, has proved 

 quite satisfactory. These checks can be 

 again exchanged for checks of higher denom- 

 ination as 20, 30, 40, 50, etc. The great 

 advantage of this method Is that each one 

 of the pickers keeps his own books and Is paid 

 according to the amount of checks turned 

 in on the day of settling accounts. Pickers, 

 however, are liable to lose the checks which 

 causes some misunderstanding at times. 



Tags which have numbers from i to 50 

 printed on them, which are punched as the 

 picker turns in the full boxes, are found to 

 be the best system to date. 



Pickers are generally paid by the box, and 

 the more experienced the worker, the larger 

 the income. Some sections pay one cent
