Bill Doe - 0, C. Doe and Sons, Havrbuck Orchards, Harvard, i.Iassachusetts - has 

 his pickers working vdth him. They aro interested in picking good apples. They 

 are quality conscious » The pickers are conpetinc vath each other for a daily bonus 

 that means better apples for Bill to sell. 



Here is how it works. Simple! 



Bill took one of his best PACKERS and put her in the orchard checking apples 

 as they i-rere picked. She made one check on each picker both morning and afternoon. 

 She checked "rough-looking boxes - each one all the way through". At U:30 p,m», 

 she added up the score ^ One-quarter of the pickers with the smallest amount of 

 picking injury got a nickle bonus on their pick for the day, every day. Bruises, 

 stem pimctures, cuts. or any other form of picking injury was counted against them. 

 Some time a special check was made on certain pickers. If wore than tvro boxes vrere 

 checked, the two highest counts (most injury) were used for the daily total. 



The pickers like it, naturally. They are nov^ taking a special interest in do- 

 ing a good job of picking, Bill likes tliat. It's easier to get pickers, too. Bill 

 has found the migratory help, picking 100 or more boxes per day, are usually among 

 the winners. 



Injury has been reduced to betv/een 10 to 20 marks per box. 



Bill sells more apples than he grovs. Late in the season he took part of his 

 crew to other orchards. He found that in these other orchards the pickers were 

 making between ^0 to 80 marks per box as a regular thing I 



The boxes with the lew injuiy sell for 2$^ to ^0<ji more per box. 



All this for a nickle more on one quarter of the boxes picked!
