Oa that part of the A� experience.experience.Prot.t. Robe tam Gaye the great trouble arises from lack of shill. lack of care and lack of hon- esty to packbtg. Every experienced dealer will admit that this is true. and I shall briefly note my observe - thew under these headings. First -lack of care -aa to which farmers and packers are both to blame. Farmers do not take care of their trees, do not trim, do not man- ure, do not spray, In tact, outside of a'few districts, they :ook on the ap- pe4 as a sort of side crop, that May or may nue, yield something and con- .squent:y take no Interest In the *reheard. The result 1L that la poor earn, when prices are good, they no apples, and when there is a crop their sample L so poor that the dealers come and run over the fruit and reject two-tblyds of 1t. In many cases the picking Is carelessly done ; boys are est to pick. dm, with a bag sung over the back, and the fruit la turned out Into barrels or In a pi's. The farmer will scold the boys for knocking or throwing tte mangold wuraele about, but he Allows them to work their own sweet will with the apples. Theo the packers come In a hurry. taken() trochee to see that the apples are properly sorted or W settle them In the barrels, and often leave them lying around the orchard for weeks beton abhpment. Then Darr lack of skill, and this le entirely the fault of the deal - el.. Mr. MCMlllan was right when be Meld 'm PanMaaeoli lane toe Mal- en did most of tits packing. and were to blame U the wort, was im- properly done. The first thing to be got rid of 1s the idea that every• bodyinnows bow to pack apples pro- perly. It requires time and experl- enoe to acquire fedi knowledge and every farmer's son or workingman In the country le not capable of taking champ of the work without some training and Instruction. But we find that many buyers ignore this, and hire some local man to buy anXd pack nppltle. and the result la poor sorting, "lack barrels and open heads. Prof. Robertson, in his evi- dence before the Agricultural Com- mittee, says that apples packed by the same man and In the same locality are often found. on arrival In Europe, to be cumeen, some being slack and web, while others are tight, When one knows tow way In whirl' many ap- pipe ppies are handled, this does not mem 1range. For Instance, some are parked Mat u they are pinked from the tree, others aro placed in plies In the orchard, often 1n.Ne sun. and left for a week or two, some are taken into the barn or sled and are packed ,there. Often apples are packed 1n the orchard, and left ly- lag around for a week or two before shipment. Thew differmi t ways of handling ascent. in man oases. for a difteei ora .n we condition of the frau ce'-4ets- the mar. kers of Europe Al - regards lack Of betty, both the farther and the pecker are to blame. 1t always seems strange to me that while farmers expect to carefully clean their wheat and bar. ley and other grains. and properly sort their potatoes before taking them to market, when It comes to fruit everything goes, literal) speak- tng, and when the Boyers s1rt to sort their apples they naturally creme hie arsd find fault. Then the dealer Le not hotter% when ire sends careiehs. inexperienced then to do the work, who ran over the farmer's fruit, scat - and destroyintgg what they do not take. The packing season is very Mort. and the work mast be dont expeditiously, but that is no tames for the waste and deetruc- Ron that goes on to many orchards. ekpeclally when there Is a good crop. Taking the figures given by Prof. Robertson: along with others that I ave been able to analyse. we are sate 111 concluding. that not more than one- third of the apples shipped across the Atlantic from this Province arrive In goof condition and are cleared 4 t! ghite, another third are classed 4 slack and allgitty wet and the re- mainder an slack and wet.
