Filling the Box. When everything is properly ar- 

 ranged for work, the packer places the box on the rack, 

 puts the paper hod on the side, the liners in place, and 

 then begins the process of wrapping and filling in. For 

 the beginner, this will require considerable attention and 

 often a number of attempts before a desirable pack is 

 worked out. Four or five apples of the average size may 

 be placed in the box before wrapping and a study made 

 of the arrangement which they are likely to best fit. 

 After a little practice, it can be easily determined 

 whether to take a diagonal, straight or an off-set pack.
