CAREFUL HANDLIN G at HARVEST is of UTMOST IMPORTANCE if QUAL- ITY is to be MAINTAINED. The UTEN- S1L used in the field when picking and the METHOD used to pick are both vital _if cutting and bruising are to be avoid- ed. Many types of picking utensils are used such as buckets, half-bushel bask- ets, climax baskets, and boxes. Regard- less of the kind or shape, the container should not be too deep and it should not be too large for convenient handling. Containers should also be smooth in- side with no rough edges or sharp points that will sear or injure the fruit. Galvan- ized buckets and one-half round. stave baskets with handles are good. It is well to place some. paper pads or burlap in -the bottom of the picking containers to avoid bruising and to prevent the to- matoes from rubbing on any sand or dirt that may be in the bottom of the container, ~ Special care shouid be given to the job of emptying picking containers into the field crates. Tilt the picking contain- er so that the tomatoes will roll gently into the field box. You may have to bend _ your back to do this but it will pay, Any- thing that can be done to protect the tomatoes from even the. SLIGHTEST INJURY is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT because the smallest skin breaks, bruises and cuts, even though little noticed at harvest time, may develop into a serious defect before reaching a distant market. - When and how to pick is also an im- portant step in marketing quality toma- toes. At the beginning of the harvest season, the fruit should be picked once or twice a week. After the season is well under way, and the weather hot, it is best to pick every other day.

Department of Agriculture at its Forest Products Laboratory in Madison, Wisconsin. A large number of readers wrote in or called in requesting further informa- tion on the method which the USDA calls double diffusion and which will pre- serve posts for a number of years even - in the humid areas of the Southeast. _ An explained earlier the treatment calls fer the use of two chemicals which may be secured from chemical companies and in many cases from farm or hard- ware stores. ; In treating posts farmers will need -a one pound coffee can, a 10 quart pail, two barrels, one of which must be made. of wood or concrete, 25 pounds of copper sulfate erystals and 25 pounds of sodium - chromate powder. To prepare the copper sulfate solu- tion add 24 gallons of water to the wood- en or concrete barrel and add seven cof- fee cans (about 18 pounds) of copper sulfate crystals. Stir until the crystals are dissolved . in the other barrel, which may be a 55 gallon oil drum, mix 26 gallons of water with six coffee cans (about 18 pounds) of powdered sodium chromate slowly while stirring. First the peeled posts should be stood, butt end down, in the copper sulfate solution for two,days. Be sure to put enough posts in the barrel to raise the solution near the top of the barrel. After two days in the copper sulfate solution | the posts should stand one day in the sodium chromate solution (butt end down) and then be turned over and allowed to stand for a second day in the sodium chromate solution. If necessary the posts may be used at once but it is better to close-pile them to keep them from drying out and to let them stay that way for several weeks. Before a second set of posts can be treated more water and chemical must be added to the containers, For each (Continued on Page 4) 7 Georgia STATE OF THE SOUTH STATE EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI Georgia, First: e PEACHES e NAVAL STORES e PEANUTS BROILERS e PIMIENTO PEPPER e 'APROVED PECANS ene ene ETTER TOMATOES class matter Aug. 1, 1917.
