The Adventures Of An Orange

EDITOR'S NOTE: Most of us
are accustomed to taking our
breakfast orange juice or Nile-
cd oranges for granted, but the
route of an grange from tlie

AUSTIN, May 17, One of tho
most maTTfened words in the dic-
,. , .... tionnry is overwork," said Dr.
uitl sizes ot the grades* of this . .
. I John W. Brown, State Health Of-
licer. "It is employed as an
bouse in Redlands recently. It was
open house at the packers and 1
was determined to see just how
tlie oranges were prepared before
being shipped out to the various
parts of the nation.
As the fruit is received from
the grove each grower's fruit is
placed together and run in one lot,
so that an accurate check can be
made of a grower's grade and
size, for he is paid on that basis
The oranges are then dumped on
|u conveyer which takes them into
1 a tank of hot water called a soak-
llug tank where the loty coat and
dust over Uie oran * is cut by
tlie soap and solvent, ■ that when
tho fruit goes into lie long re-
volving brushes it is more easily
washed. The water in the soak-
ing tank is about 120 degrees.
jr Fruit Is Dried
Aft<^ ^eaving the washer, the
oranges are conveyed into a borax-
;olution tank also of the heated
liquid containing approximately
seven percent borax solution, in-
tended as a decay preventative.
Alter leaving this tank, tlie fruit
is rinsed, and is next elevated to
tho dryer, where heated air dries
the oranges thoroughly.
At the box-making part of the
plant we found that the orange
crates are put together by machin-
ery and that it takes only about
ten seconds for a box to be put
together.
Going up stairs, we were shown
the waxer. The orange, after leav-
ing tho dryer, is conveyed to the
waxer where a thin coat of wax
is placed over the fruit to prevent
shrinkage and give a glossy ap-
pearance. This wax is applied by
brushes that pass over the wax
and then transfer it to the orange.
The fruit is then segregated into
its proper grades, the women
workers throwing the grades into
their proper compartments.
After the fruit is graded, the
first grade is stamped "Sunkist"
and tho second grade one of sev-
eral brand names. This stamping
is done by milclriiiQfry and tlie
orange not touched by human
hands.•
The. most Interesting thing in
the whole packing house, to me,
was tho si-sins' machine. I had
iften wondered how the oranges
in each box were so uniform:
There is u long trough with holes
that are large enough for them to
go through. The smaller oranges
go into the first holes and the
larger ones go into holes further
down the line.
flickers Develop Speed
Oranges are '-packed in twelve
different sizes, starting with sixty
four and ending with 392. Exper-
ience and practice makes for speed
and efficiency among the packr
ers who are employed on a "per
• box" basis.
After tlie box is packed and
•j placed on tile conveyer, it moves
; t0 the lidding machine. Here the
variety stamp and tho number of
oranges are placed upon the box. i
