Excerpt from Bruising of Pacific Northwest Apples During Shipment and DistributionThe bruising of apples during the car loading of tray - packs as shown in table 8, was not outstandingly different whether the trays were in wood boxes or in cartons, or whether either of the 'two types of trays was used. Although bruises caused by car loading were greater in the winter and spring tests than in the fall test, it is noteworthy that more damage was done to fruit in tray - packs in the January test than in the March test. As the difference was attributable to slightly better workmanship in loading in the March test, it emphasizes the importance of even a moderate degree of care in handling packages. In this instance, care in handling was more important in preventing bruises than differences between packages or difference in fruit ripe ness occurring between January and March.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
