Experience this year is impressing | ^ a 6 __ a ^ ains , n | condition in which peaches reach the
market and their adaptability'for the
fruit trade depend largely upon the
manner in which they are graded and
packed. In some orchards no special
preparations are made beforehand, and
there is no special organization for the
work. Unskilled hands do the packing
and through, carelessness in the selee
tion a few peaches, perhaps but slightly
tainted, find their way into the Grates,
with the result that the whole mass be
comes infected and the fruit rejected by
the dealers is thrown back upon tha
hands of the shipper. Then we heal
the complaint that there is no money in
peaches. But Providence has never yet
bestowed a gift upon a people for the
handling of which there could not be
found some intelligent and hence sue
cessful metnod.
The orohards of Georgia have attrac
ted such wide attention throughout the
United States that we find them fre
quently mentioned in periodicals de
voted to farming and horticulture even
in the distant n-rth.
In the American Agriculturist, pub
lished in Springfield, Mass., and in New
York and Chicago, Professor W. G.
Johnson thus describes the method
practiced in the orchards of J. H. Hale
of Georgia.
“The fruit is sorted into three grades
and placed in long canvas trays arranged
in compartments in front of the worker,
about, one foot above the center of the
table, with the packers on the opposite
side. The peaches are classified into
three grades and then packed into car
riers of six baskets each. About lOfl
peaches of extra large size are packed in
a carrier. The No. 1 size usually re
quires from 120 to 150, while No. Stakes
from 190 to 210. Peaohes below this
size are, as a rule, not placed,in carriers.
The fruit is carefully graded by experts,
many of them being orange packers
from Florida. Every peach must be up
to standard size, without blemish and in
perfect stage of ripeness before being
placed in a basket. The general fore
man of the packing shed keeps a very
careful watch over all the frnic packed,
and before the lid is nailed on a orate an
expert makes a full inspection, being
sure that every peach is up to standard.
If a single peach is found containing- a
bruise or a blemish of any kind, the en
tire crate is returned to the packer aiid
as a penalty must be repacked.
“The fruit is handled mostly by white
men and women, and expert packers
can put up from 80 to 100 carriers per
day, the number depending largely upon
the variety and amount of fruit being
packed. Some experts padk from 195 to
200 carriers a day, each person handling
from 20,000 to 30,000 pieces of fruit, in
addition to removing the baskets and
middle tray of each carrier. ”
Every well equipped orchard should
have sot only, its packing house, bnt
also Its canning factory, where the
peaches not selected for shipping nor
reserved for home consumption ean.be
put up in cans and thus preserved until
required for fall qpd winter use at the
home or for sale in all the cities and
towns, where there is always a demand
for'suoh goods.
None of the fruit should be wasted,
hut the peaches n& shipped-or canned
or consumed at iiome while fresh from
the tarees should be carefully dried and
stored away for. future use. For this
the evaporator is in many respects supe
rior to-the old method. The fruit thus
dried looks whiter and cleaner and finds
a. readier sale than that dried by the
snn, though some prefer the latter.
