Iliff, an Engineer of the Container Bureau, 30 Vesey Street, New York City, has addressed peach shippers at Fort Valley, Thomaston, Bamesville, Gray, Bradley, Monticel lo, Hampton, Griffin, Byron and other shipping points, on the proper and most economical and efficient method of crate assembly and basket closing, and the loading, stowing, stripping, and bracing the crates in the car. The addresses and conferences were illus krated by means of making actual field tests on the crates showing the type of failures, the reasons for such failures and the way in which they can be remedied by using the proper Bumber and spacing of nails without imposing an extra or added expense to the grower, packer or shipper. He also illustrated his talks by models of the different methods of takoig up ^lack, bracing the crates against the possibility of shifting, and bracing partial layers of crates when only a few stacks are loaded in the ends of the car one layer higher than the rest of the load. The points brought out were interesting and instructive in that they brought to the attention of the growers and shippers points not heretofore known or realized. On the crate assembly, Mr. pointed out that unless the proper number and spacing ot nails were used, the best results could not be obtained, even if crate shooks and ex¬ cellent quality were used. In the nail¬ ing of bottom slats he pointed out that to be effective six nails should be used in the bottom at each end of crate, or a total of twelve nails. Care must be taken to see that the nails are not driven at the mortice and tenon joint as they have little or no holding power when driven at these poutls and are ineffective. He point¬ ed out that the possibility of driving the nails into the joints at the bot¬ tom could be eliminated by placing the two bottom slats close together leaving all open spaces at the sides of the crate. When bottoms are of the “made up” or cleated construction, six nails are necessary in each end, ns the weight of fruit packed is the same as in the case of a two slat inl¬ cleated bottom and these six nails are actually required to prevent the bottom from coming loose in the packing house during packing, handl¬ ing and loading, and in transit and at destination during unloading. In nailing the sides to the end frames, four nails at each end of each side (eight nnils per side) are necessary to prevent the side from loosening and falling off and also to brace the crate against collapse or crushing. The latter type of failure is very common, especially when the load is not tightly stowed. By driving one nail in each outside slat, two in¬ ches away from the mortice joint, and two nails in the middle slat about one or one quarter inches apart, a bracing effect to the crate is brought about that will tend to minimize the failure of collapsing. When only one nail is used in the middle slat, this nail acts as a pivot around which the crate side can rotate and this meth¬ od of nailing aggravates rather than prevents the tendency to collapse or crush. He illustrated this very mi pressively by putting the crate on one bottom edge of the end frame and pressed on fjhe diagonally opposite top edge. nails used When only three were in the side in each end frame the crate was easily crushed, but when fpqr were used he could not crush the THE LEADER-TRIBUNE, FORT V ALLEY, GA., THURSDAY, MAY 28, 1025. I crate even when his entire weight of 170 pounds was put upon it. Try this | test yourself and prove to your own satisfaction that his points and argu ments in favor of the four nails in each end of sides are correct, In nailing the top four nails are necessary in each end (eight in all), In this case too, nails should be kept away from the mortise and tenon joint. | Summary of assembling crates: 1. Keep sides and bottom pieces flush with the end frames to permit tight and even stowing. 2.

This tower is four times as large as the old water tank, which will be torn down after the peach season and the ground which it occupies in the heart of the city will be converted 1 into a park and play grounds. The new tower, it is said, is one of the most modern, from a sanitary and other viewpoints, that can be made today, and has been erected at a low cost to the city that is most gratify¬ ing. MR.

THREE GERMANS HERE TO STUDY I'EACH Continued from Page One and cultivation of peaches and luscious Georgia 1 ruit packed ready for shipment to the and Eastern markets. When asked about the they were getting from this visit the Southland, they were juhilant their praises, saying they found bustle and cordiality and culture far surpassing their utmost tions. 1 heir expenses are paid by German ^ government and they will in this country until the middle September, when they will set sail with the new impressions and ideas and high hopes that they can carry back to the German people increase their own prosperity. Interested in Industry They are especially interested the production of the peach, this being grown on a small scale in Prussian land, arid not at all. When asked about the farms they grow potatoes, here there are some farms of as as a ten thousand acreage, while average farm „ ranges from , ten to ty acres. On their large farms grow potatoes, sugar beets, oats, barley, alfalfa. They specialize in cattle raising and farm ly. The visit to the United States Government laboratory here, the supervision of Oliver I. was a revelation to the and held a keen interest for them, the Germans being classed as a scien tific folk to whom such a station would likely appeal. They are ested since arrival in the production of pecans, these nuts being unknown to the German people, From the United States Depart ment of Agriculture at the visiting Germans were given a suggested itenerary in their investiga tjve tour. They were directed first to Fort Valley, having had in mind when leaving Germany to visit this pench section, of which they had heard much, including colorful reports of Georgia’s Peach Blossom Festival, which they think is a great advertis ing feature. They are enthusiastic over the beautiful farming lands, the state of cultivation, and the plenty and the promise that characterize.’ this section, as they look upon it with foreign eyes and contemplation of in creased agricultural and horticultural interests in the Fatherland. Will Go to Cuba From lure they will go to Cuba and thence to Texas and New Mexico and on out West, where they will look over the apple orchards and horticul tural interests of the Pacific coast. They declared this to be a God¬ blessed land and beautiful—beautiful like their own native land. I)r.

Now, I haven’t a touch of stomach trouble, have felt gained 7 pounds, and never better in my life.
