"Packing Plant Problems"— Archie MacLellan, NCA and May- nard Holmes—The more we know about a lot of berries the better. Tell us what has been done to af- fect quality. Separate late and early water, green berries, picking machine and poor quality. We try to use poor quality fruit first. Speed in handling important. Idea that any kind berry is O. K. for canning is wrong — berries for whole sauce must be as good as fresh fruit berries. Fill boxes uni- formly. Receiving berries is a problem—need stoi-age space and fast handling when berries coming in heavy. Test weights—average determines weight of load. Re- gardless of further shrinkage, grower paid on basis of average weight. Picking boxes a problem—pile up in plant at end of season. Should have name on boxes. "Rodent Control"—Wesley Jones, U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service— 1. Take precautions before stor- ing—make sure no rodent shelters around storage—dumps, trash, piles of old boxes. Check for hiding- places in storage. 2. Rodent proof buildings—drains in floor, open or broken windows, open doors. Aim to ventilate storage and keep doors closed. Cover openings for fans with hardware cloth. Rodents may come in with berries, may gnaw through wall. 3. Control in stor- age—mice only—use strychinne treated, rolled crushed oats—no good for rats. Will last all sea- son—best used in bait station like cigar box with 1 inch holes. War- farin best for both rats and mice^ anti-coagulant, colorless, odorless, tasteless. Need 3-5 c
