Apply space treatments at closing time and at other times as operations 

 permit and flies make it desirable c. 



Pyrethrin or allethrin, each synergized by materials like piperonyl butoxide, 

 sulfoxide or others, are the chief killing agents. Some products contain 

 methoxychlor or other materials. Products containing DDT, chlordane or similar 

 materials should not be used unless edible foods are covered. 



Apply space treatments by using oil based pyrethrin or allethrin "fly sprays" 

 in hand or electrically operated atomizers or by using aerosol bombs, Lai-Pie 

 (5-lb) bombs are less expensive than smaller types if used according to direct- 

 ions, Othendse the smaller types may be just as convenient and no more costly.

AR E YOU USING AN APPLE BOX DUIgJNG AID? 



Although research data has shovm that one of the greatest causes of bruising 

 is grading operations is careless dumping onto the receiving belt or the feed 

 table of the grader, many grwrers still are not using an apple box dumping aid. 

 The bruising that occurs during the dumping of apples on the grader is one of the 

 easiest and least costly to minimize. Let's do something about it I 



The use of a pad placed over the top of an apple box when the box is tipped 

 can reduce bruising. After tipping the box, the v/orker should gradually raise the 

 pad to allovj- the apples to roll gently onto the receiving belt of the feed table 

 on the grader. Counter balancing the pad makes it more convenient to use. 



Another inexpensive dumping aid is a canvas bag, "The operator places a 

 canvas bag, with one end tacked to the grader, over the top of the box of fruit 

 while he tips the box over. Then he releases the bag and lifts the box gently 

 to allow the apples to floiT out,"
