In packing crates or bushel
kets, Mr. Iliff stated that a bulge
one inch produced the best
and that the peaches would
(shrink or settle more than
amount during transportation
the pack would be full when it
ed the markets. When a bulge
cr than this is packed, stresses
produced in the container for
the container was not
which causes it to fail, and
bruises the peaches in attaching
cover.
The above practices of packing
closing the containers will
{good results and minimize
the contents, which in the case
peaches easily done through , ,
is
proper methods.
t'ar Loading
In ear loading there are two
of laods, first, the solid load in
the crates arc loaded throughout the
entire length of car entirely through
the doorways, Second, the divided
load where the car is loaded up to the
doorway and braced by a center gate
brace.
In the solid load it is necessary to
determine the length of the car and
subtract the length of the load in or
tier to determine the excess or slack
space to be taken up. The best me
thod of determining the length of the
car is to measure it with a fifty foot
steel tape bought for this purpose.
This is accurate and produces uniform
satisfactory results. The next best
method is to lay a row of crates
snugged closely together along one
side of the car. This will show or in
dicate the amount of space to be
taken up.
When the car is measured it -
best io figure the length of load bas¬
ed, not on 24 inches, but about 24 3-8
inches for each stack of crates. This
will provide in sixteen stacks an allow-

ance of 6 inches, which is necessary
because the crates vary in length due
to inaccuracies in assembly and in or¬
der to avoid being shy an inch or
fraction of an inch when the last
stack is put in place. Then if all the
allowance is not required when the
doorway is reached it can be taken up
by spacing strips placed across the
car at the center of each layer of
' crates. It is not good practice to place
j these strips up and down, or verti
I cally as they are more likely to fall
off.
I After the amount of slack to
taken up is determined, the next step
is to determine how to take it up.
There are several methods depending
upon the amount of slack. If over
eight inches and less than
inches, ...... take it up , by one or two . end ,
bulkheads, one in each end of car
placed next to ice bunkers. If more
than eighteen inches take it up
means of a center gate placed in the
door ways. If less than eight inches
take it up by an end bulkhead, spac¬
ing strips (car strips) or a spacing
frame made of car strips (to take up
three inches when made of one inch
strips). See Freight Container Bu

A1 ,,, the , above methods ... are equally ef- ,
fective when properly executed. ... In
general it is easier and quicker to use
center gate and it is as economical
if not more so, than the other
thods, especially when the time taken
to figure and take up space by
strips is consumed, as well as the
time the trucks are kept waiting and
that the crates of peaches are being
kept in the sun and maturing rapidly.
In stowing the crates in the car,
care • should be exercised to see that
they are evenly spaced and tightly
stowed, otherwise the load will be un
even and hard to make, as well as be¬
ing slack which will cause damage in
transit.
Car strips should be of equal thick
ness if a level and even load is to be
obtained. They should be thick
enough to prevent the crates from
ridng on the bulge. If a bulge of one
inch is used, use car strips one inch
thick. If a bulge 1 and 1-2 inches is
used, use strips one and one half in
ches in thickness and so on,

SOUTH MUST GROW TREES
TO BECOME FUTURE CENTER

Washington, D. C., May 26.-“Ex- j
perts of the paper manufacturing m .
are looking toward the expan-1 South
as the logical field for future
but the South will not realize
this great opportunity unless our
people take steps to provide a ron
tinuing growth of timber”, said Mr.
Lincoln Green, assistant to the pres
ident of the Southern Railway Sys
tern, in discussing the need for per
manent forestry work in the South,
The heavy grades of paper, such
a- wrapping paper, boards and boxes,
cont j nue d Mr. Green, make up about
forty per cent of the paper consumed
j n the United States and the wood of
the Southern pines is well suited for
their manufacture. Abundance of wa
ter, cheap power, good transporta
tion facilities and proximity to mar
k e ts are other important factors in
the paper industry, all of which the
South has.”
“Paper manufacturing is now being
conducted successfully at several
p 0 j n ts in the South, waste from lum
j J( , r j n g operations which otherwise
vvou | f | t, e a total loss being used. The
,. a pjj growth of timber in the South,
the opportunity to produce naval
storos as a by-product, and the fur
^ er opportunity to use thinnings and
was t e from lumbering operations in
I the manufacture of paper all combine
i to offer the South the opportunity to
produce real wealth from lands which
are now lying idle.
, “If some one of our Southern ports
g j 10U j ( j take up the provision of a por¬
manent t; m ber supply in its immedi
ate hinterland, there is no reason why
1 nianufaetur
j( . cou)d not niake paper
infer succes8 f u ] industry, along with
j the production of lumber and naval
stores.”
j ------ plan of exempting incomes and in¬
heritances from state taxes is likely
i to be followed all over the country.
It is said that two-thirds of the coun
ties of Georgia are feeling the exo¬
dus of substantial citizens to Florida.
Georgia's state government costs
her people but a little more than $5
a year per head.
Georgia has millions of acres of
land with kaolin deposits.
