COMPARISON OF THE WORK OF DIFFERENT PACKING HOUSES. Typical rough and careful handling.âThe figures presented in Tables XVII to XX and the accompanying diagrams include the averages of both commercial and experi- mental shipments from a number of houses representing all classes of work. Extremes of rough handling and con- sequent very high decay "^^ during transit, as well as extremes of careful han- dling accompanied by ex- cellent shipping quality, were found in different parts of the State. Table XVII and its ac- companying diagram (fig. 20) give the average per- centages of decay occur- ring during 1910-11 and 1911-12 in the commercial shipments from 12 houses using care and from a like number of houses in which the work was roughly done. During both seasons the percentage of decay in the commercial fruit shipped by the houses using care was almost as low as the average for any of the care- fully handled lots, picked, graded, and packed by bu- reau workers.
