Apple-I'ickera not of Sufficient High Character. A despatch from Toronto says: A t a meeting of the Fruit Growers' Association, held last week, a de- bate on packing and packages pro- voked an interesting discussion. Mr. Elmer Lick, of Oshawa, af- firmed that a pian roust have botn skill and character to bo a good ap- ple packer. An apple should be handled like an egg, and not as if it were a stone or a turnip, as was tho custom with the average pack- et. With regard to character, he knew that young men would not go with the average apple gang or bo associated with it, and in many cases the men could not get board because they were such a rough crow. Aud if packing was to be good a grower must employ men whom he could implicitly trust. The result was, as in a ease he had in mind, where a man brought in 126 barrels of apples and got less than $25 for them. - ---.g--_---- RADICAL LABOR CABINET.
