and spread out in shallow trays in the sun to dry. They should be removed to a wcll-vcntilatcd 
storage room at night. It will take several days of drying, out-of-doors and in the house, before they 
are ready to pack. The variety should form the basis of the grade. If irregular in size, they should be 
screened and divided into different sizes. 
At the present time practically all the Pecans of improved varieties are sold to a private trade. 
Hardly any of them as yet find their way into the general market, as the supply is so far short of the 
demand. For quant it y shipments, good clean barrels 
> are best; for smaller 
packages, neat 
wooden 
or 
corrugated paper boxes are most satisfactory.
