WASHINGTON. May 3.-The > fol
lowing nummary tuken from ii new
farmer's bulletin, No. 6G64, of th?'
United StntOB department of agricul
ture, "Strawberry Growing In the
South." shown he imporance of care
ful grading and packing if the grow
er expects to obtain "iiuallty"prlces:
Picking the Fruit
The stago of maturity at which
berries should be picked depends up
on the distance they are to be ship
ped. When grown for a local mar
ket they should be picked when
thoroughly ripe but not soft. lt
grown for a distant market the ber
ries must be picked before they are j
thoroughly ripe, but they should be
fully grown and about tliree-fourthH
ripe. If picked before they are color
ed the berries will shrink and wither,
making them unfit for Bale. Straw
berries should be picked with a short
piece of stem attached (about one
fourth to one-half inch). They should
never be slipped from the stem, an
that apolla their appearance and In
jures their shipping and keeping
qualities.
Parking.
Uniformity in the pack ls essential
In order to obtain high prices for
strawberries, and this cnn be secur
ed only when the berries havo boen
carefully graded and sorted. Some
growers have the berries graded in
the field.
A common practice in some sec
tions is to pick thc ripo berries of
all grados Into the same box and ,
when the tray is full to take it to the
packing shed, where the berries are
sorted and packed. The graders dump '
tho berries on a table and pick out
all green, overrlpes or small berries. 1
The others aro placed In the boxes, '
one of the graders arranging the top
layers In auch a way that the berries j
show to best advantage. Whon ber
ries are packed in this manner, caro
should bo taken not to put the small,
Inferior berries in the center of' tho
box and the large fine berries on
top. The fruit should bo uniform
throughout the box, with the top lr.y
er merely placed to add to the at
tractiveness of the pack and to hold
the f-uit In place. Where a fancy
pack It put up, the berries should
be divided into two grades.
After the berries ' are picked they
should be placed in the shade as soon
aa possible, for heat injures tho fruit
in a short ime. The pickers should
not be allowed* to leave thc flited
boxes ale.:?: the rows, wlmre the ber
ries will be exposed to the sun. Tho

shorter the timo that elapses after
the fruit is picked before it ls put in
to refrigerator ears or refrigerator
boxes the better it ls fur the berries,
which will continue to ripen rapidly
until they are chilled.
Lurg?? Crates Preferable.
Many different types of boxes and
crates are used for strawberries, but
the tendency la toward a standard
full-size quart box. In fact, in sev- '
eral States it ls Illegal to offer for
sale a short box; shipments to these
markets must be handled to conform
with the laws. The boxes now in usu
i are the American or standard quart
; berry box which holds a full quart;
I tho octagon box. and the square seale
I board type of ijuart und pint boxes.
The American type ls the one that ls
most generally used; it is full size,
strongly made, and packs well in the
I crate. The octagon box is objictlou
abie on account of its shape and thc
raised bottom. A long, narrow box
is not satisfactory, because lt ls In
convenient to pick up without grasps
lng the sides between the thumb and
lingers, and when handled in this way
the berries aro likely to be mashed.
Moreover, the sides of boxes with
raised bottoms often split off below
the bottom, causing the boxes to tip
over. Tho scale-board boxes are
cheaper than splint boxes, but as the
latter are moro substantial they aro
praferred la nearly all markets. The
type of crate depends on the boxos
that are used. Any crate that is sub
stantially built and well ventilated is
satisfactory, but coBt is an import
ant consideration, as they aro not
returned to the shipper. The largest
crate that can be handled convenient
ly 1B the one to use, as the large ones
are cheaper in proportion to JLhs
quantity of berries they carry. The
24 or 32 quart crates are generally
used, though in some sections the fin
quart crate is employed. Crates with
hinged lids have an advantage over
others in that they provide for thc
Inspection of the fruit to better ad
vantage. The hinged-Itd crate In- [
v?tes inspection and this is a point In
Its favor.
A large part of the strawberry
crop grown in Plorlda ls shipped to
northern marketB In refrigerator box
es. These boxes, or pony refrigera
tors, hold 64 or 80 quarta of berries.
After the boxes of berries are placed
in the refrigerators a metal tray is
put in place above the berrlea and
ill filed with ice. The main advantage
in using these refrigerator boxes is
in long distance express shipment ;
where refrigeration ls necessary.

lion and sincerity and a fine realiza
tion of square dealing can produce
in success.- Principles that governed
Mr. Reynolds' work from the very
start are the. foundation of the pres
ent euormouc business.
Mr. Reynolds was one of the first
men to nee tho possibilities of the
culture und manufacture of tobacco
In the world-renowned Piedmont re
gion, and not lacking in courage and
boldness, risked everything he had to
try lt out The venture has not only
blessed personally the labor of his
awn hands, but likewise the labor of
thousands and thousands who depend
entirely upon the culture or manu
facture .of tobacco for their liveli
hood.
Development of the Industry.
Tobacco, as an industry, lacked all
system when Mr. Reynolds entered
the business years ago. Tho grower
was subject to laws of greed and
..hanee. which means he was paid for
the tobacco he grew any price H pec
ulators chose to tlx. With the devel
opment o? manufacturing came real
competition for the leaf, which in
turn, developed splendid warehouses
Tor Its proppr handling. This pro
duced a system of weighing and grad
ing that completely uprooted practic
es of the speculators and gave all an
jqual chance.
Mr. Reynolds ls a modest, unas
suming man of unusual size, with In
lefatigable energy and Independent
will. Among all the many thousands
if employes in the great factories at
irVinston-Salem, there is no one more
approachable, more democratic In
mareeter than the founder and pres
cient, who watches with the closest
icrutiny and directs with extreme
foresight every phaso of his immense
business.
Mr. Reynolds talks us interestingly
IS reads ? the story of his business
success. "I started roy career In
crowing and manufacturing tobacco
when I was a boy," said the founder,
is he chatt/.d to the wrlttir la tho
sig executive building at Winston
3alem a few weeks ago, "serving my
imo as a laborer in a tobacco fact
ory. At the agu of 18 i was pro
noted to superintendent of this fac
ory. In those days tobacco factories
>nly ran four months in the year and
he other eight months I wat? engag
td se a tobacco salesman.
Only to Slake a Fair Profit
"The principles that governed my
york from the beginning aro the
'oundation of this business. Iv the
?arly days some of the boys on tho
.oad had an idea that the ones who
rauld He the biggest were the best
talesmen. Nearly all of thean iel: >ws
?vere glib talkers and their influence
vas not the best for a boy. My fath
er realizing this, told rae the day that
: started out to sell tobacco that a
nan who would Ho for a dollar would
desi a dollar, advising me? always,
inder all conditions, to tel* the truth
ibout the tobacco I was selling and
.ever ask a price that would yield
nore than a fair profit.
"In Ute section in which' I waa
-alsed at that timo rallroa* s were
ew and far between. I, therefore,
oaded a wagon with tobacco nnd

business.
Experimenting In Advertising.
"In IS72 I felt the need of a more
thorough business education and gavo
up this vork to take a course at a j
business college. In 1873 I began the
manufacture of .tobacco in a log
cabin factory 60 miles from a- rail
road ir Patrick county, Virginia,
with a capital of $2,700. The first
year in business I manufactured 40.
000 rounds, the next year 80,000
pounds and then sold my brands and ?
trade marks to my partners, and
moved to Winston-Salem for the ben
efit of railroad facilities, and on ac
count of this town being located In
the center, of the belt In which the
finest tobacco in the world is grown.
"I erected here a plant that cost
$2,400 and began business with a
capital of $7,500, taking in a partner,
whom I bought out two years later.
We manufactured the first year, 150,-1
000 pounds, which waa the capacity i
of the plant. From the** on, about |
every other year, tbis factory waa
built on top, bottom and additions
made to each end, until the business
waa increased to 1.000,000 pounds,
having taken 18 years to secure thia
volume.
"In 1S92 the bualness amounted to
1,085,929 pounds; in 1893 the b >sl-]
ness amounted to 1,008,101 pounob.
Seeing that my business had lost
over the previous year and having
accumulated more capital than was
necessary to -un the business, I de
cided to experiment in advertising. It
was really rry first experience, and. I
have found it profitable ever albee.
Big Returns From Advertising.
"I spent abodt $4,000 in 1894 and
secured an increase to 1,216,8281
pounds. Seeing that the profits on ,
tlie Increase I made more than re- i
Imbursed me for tito money invested.
I waa influenced to make an appro-1
prlatlon for the next year of $40,900 !
and erect a building with a capacity
of ten times the business that waa
being done at that time. The $40,
000 expenditure increased the busi
ness that year to 2,128,763 pounds. : ;
"The sixth year this factory was j
overworked, the output representing i
11,389,822 pounds. Since that time |
tho appropriation for advertising ha? :
been increased year after year- pro- i
portionatel:' with the Increase in j
business." 1
Mr. Reynolds is a firm believer in i
surrounding hirnse* with able lieu- i
ea an ts. Ar. early as 1888 he effect- <
M* an arrangement with some ot his
smployes. whereby they would share
n the profits of the business. In '
1893 a company was formed and' In
corporated. The percentage ot pro
lta that employes were receiving rep-|
resented the percentage of stork they
had in the company. A number ot tho |
tame employes are engaged in thia t
business today. j
Newspapers the Standard.
"Newspapers and magasines have |
jonst?tuted the backbone of all our.
uivertlslng." continued afr. Reynold*.
"1 believe that a manufacturer who j
nt l good product with which he cab
sake a popular appeal, and will teil
die truth about lt in the datly news
papers, hacked with a good selling j
irganlsaUon, will make an unquall-]

perience with this form of advert?s

lewopapers are, unquestionably, tho]
daudard form of advertising.

In establishing branda we cover the

newspapers for our main advertising

"When you consider the number ot
newspapera that daily go into the
millions of home and how dependent
we all are upon them for the world's
news, it would be hard to depreciate
their value as an advertising, medium.
After all, lt's a simple matter of man

"Yes, newspapers -are good adver

"Thia company thought enough ot

vision, of the business when the Eu
ropean war broke out. As a matter
of fact, moro money waa apportioned

are doing the largest business in our

"We conduct our business conser

"As a matter of fact, business

the best example In this history of
