HARVESTING, PACKING AND MARKETING 



The method is indeed a very choice way 

 to sell corn, especially so if a tissue paper 

 is used on the exterior of the corn. The 

 paper will set off the corn and make it 

 very attractive, spelling satisfaction with 

 the consumer as far as sales are concerned. 



PAPER BOX PACKAGES FOR VEGETABLES 

 {From American Agriculturist) 

 The scheme is perhaps best described by 

 taking up the handling process step by step. 

 The first task is to make ready the packages. 

 These are not baskets, bags or crates, but 

 paper cartons such as are used by bakers, 

 laundrymen and manufacturers. They are 

 dark green in coloj and come from the 

 factory in the flat, cut and ready to fold 

 together. Each one is just large enough 

 to hold 12 good ears of corn. There is 

 also space for the date of packing and the 

 "none genuine without" signature. During 

 the forenoon these cards are folded up into 

 boxes and so await the arrival of the corn 

 from the field.
