The 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. Among -the famous orchards of Geor gia aTe those of Messrs.
