The dumper constructed by Mr. Lembo has 2 unique features: 

 (1) the bins are tilted into water rather than being submerged; 

 and (2) the dumper handles 2 bins at a time. This commercially 

 available dumoer can be operated in a room with an 8-foot ceiling. 



Summary 



The equioment and procedures described above are those of gen^ 

 eral interest to Massachusetts fruit growers. Other procedures 

 and equipment of more specialized nature were seen and will be dis 

 cussed at fruit meetings during the summer. 



Growers throughout the United States are constantly develop- 

 ing procedures and adapting equipment in attempts to reduce costs 

 and/or labor. By taking trips to other fruit growing areas, the 

 writer and growers making similar trios are attempting to glean 

 ideas that may be of value to the Massachusetts fruit industry.
