Every picker has a number. I his is important ; let the pickers be referred to by tl nr numbers, not by their names. When each picker brings in a load, the number of quarts is marked in a space opposite the number of the picker. If an indelible pencil is used the pickers can not accuse you of altering the record ; and if you put in the number of quarts in the presence of the picker, there will be no oversights or mistakes. The entire record is open to any picker at any time during the day when he or she comes to deliver berries Vou can see at a glance how each picker is working ; or, if you desire to know at any time how many quarts have been l)roughtin, you can foot it up in a minute. Each evening the record sheet is taken down, folded, and the date, numl)er of quarts picked, and whate\ er other memoranda may be desired, are endorsed upon it. It is then filed away. These sheets furnish a complete account of tlie season's picking. They also furnish valuable information for future use.

My trays were made according to the following directions, and seem well adapted to the service required of them : For the ends use inch strips three inches wide; for the bottom, four stnj)s of laths; and for each side, one P1CKIN(; AND PACKING '^5. strip. (Some growers add four legs to the tray, so as to raise it off the ground when in use.) A handle is made fromhalf of a barrel-hoop, spanning the tray length- wise, and tacked to the end pieces on the outside. This tray is designed to be made large enough to hold six one-quart boxe
