Apple Packing Demoiutration.
The readers of this territory
will be interested to learn that
there will be an apple packing
demonstration at North Wilkes
boro Sept. itOth, and Oct. 1st.
Mr. Cooper, who will conduct
this demonstration, is the man
who put up the prize carload of
apples at the National Horticul
tural Congress last year- and
hence, his record would indicate
that he is the best apple packer
m the Cnitcd States today.
One of the most important
things to consider m getting
prices for apples is, that they
be out up in an attractive man
! tier and also in such shape that
they will not shake about and
' bruise while in t ransit and M is
only apples that are put up in
this way. that can go into the
open market and compete with
apples that are properly packed.
We have good fruit, but have
always failed to put this fruit in
the market in a saleable condi
tion; hence, it behoves every
apple grower to attend tins de
monstration these two days and
learn how to pack his fruit in
such a way that it will command
the highest price.
