Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handling and Shipping Potatoes to Processing Plants in Pallet Boxes and Burlap Bags The bag method was cheaper than the pallet box method. When considering the above factors only. However, there are increased overhead costs for the indirect loading of bags. Losses in transit due to adverse temperatures, and losses of quality from storage. These additional costs may make the pallet box method more economical. If new bags are used for only one trip instead of three and the bags have a salvage of 5 cents each. The pallet box method costs less than the bag method.

Download or read book Packing California Potatoes in Fiberboard Boxes Classic Reprint written by Philip W. Hale and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-09-09 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Packing California Potatoes in Fiberboard Boxes This research project was undertaken to evaluate a new 50-pound fiber board box for use in shipping California White Rose potatoes, in comparison with the conventional 100-pound burlap bag now in general use by potato shippers. Some 50-pound and 10-pound bags are also used but it is estimated that over 90 percent of these California potatoes are customarily shipped in 100-pound burlap bags. Since 1956, more shippers have been packing or are interested in packing potatoes in the new 50-pound box. As a result, there has arisen a need to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the new 50-pound box with respect to container and material costs, labor require ments, arrival condition, and trade acceptance. It is estimated that in 1957 the equivalent of about 150 cars of California White Rose potatoes were packed and shipped in 50-pound fiberboard boxes.

Download or read book Pallet Boxes for Handling and Storing Potatoes Classic Reprint written by Richard S. Claycomb and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pallet Boxes for Handling and Storing Potatoes Although pallet box handling was adapted to potato production and marketing at almost the same time as mechanical harvesting and fluming, it has not been so widely adopted as the other two marked advances in potato handling. This is due in part to the extremely high initial cost of a pallet box installation, which is 2 to 25 times the initial cost of a good bulk handling system. Pallet box handling has, therefore, been largely limited to those businesses, such as processing, which require extra handling or special handling to maintain or restore desired cooking qualities. Other high-volume enterprises such as cooperatives and seed growing use pallet boxes where there is a considerable degree of separation of lots and varieties. In addition to being good containers for handling potatoes within storage, pallet boxes are currently being used as shipping containers from storage to market. A structure for pallet box storage is characterized by open span construe tion. It must be at least 20 percent larger than a bulk storage to hold an equivalent amount of potatoes because much of the space is occupied by box material and pallet bottoms.

Download or read book Tobacco Culture written by John van Willigen and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-10-21 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whereas most crops drive farmers apart as they compete for the best prices, the price controls on tobacco bring growers together. The result is a culture unlike any other in America, one often forgotten or overlooked as federal and state governments fight over the spoils of the tobacco settlement. Tobacco Culture describes the process of raising a crop of burley from the perspective and experience of the farmers themselves. In the process of gathering information for the book, the authors performed most steps in the tobacco production process, from dropping plants, burning seedbeds, topping, and cutting to stripping and baling the finished product. Van Willigen and Eastwood document both present practices and historical developments in tobacco farming at the very moment a way of life stands poised for dramatic change. In addition to growing practices, the authors found other common threads linking growers and tobacco producing regions. Where tobacco is grown, it often becomes the major cash crop and carries the health of the economy. Farmer Oscar Richardson states, "It's bread and butter. It's the industry of the community, the state as a whole.... You take tobacco out of Kentucky and this farmland wouldn't be worth a nickel." Combining cultural anthropology and oral history, John van Willigen and Susan Eastwood have created a remarkable portrait of the heart of the burley belt in Central Kentucky.

Download or read book Wicked written by Gregory Maguire and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestseller and basis for the Tony-winning hit musical, soon to be a major motion picture starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande With millions of copies in print around the world, Gregory Maguire’s Wicked is established not only as a commentary on our time but as a novel to revisit for years to come. Wicked relishes the inspired inventions of L. Frank Baum’s 1900 novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, while playing sleight of hand with our collective memories of the 1939 MGM film starring Margaret Hamilton (and Judy Garland). In this fast-paced, fantastically real, and supremely entertaining novel, Maguire has populated the largely unknown world of Oz with the power of his own imagination. Years before Dorothy and her dog crash-land, another little girl makes her presence known in Oz. This girl, Elphaba, is born with emerald-green skin—no easy burden in a land as mean and poor as Oz, where superstition and magic are not strong enough to explain or overcome the natural disasters of flood and famine. Still, Elphaba is smart, and by the time she enters Shiz University, she becomes a member of a charmed circle of Oz’s most promising young citizens. But Elphaba’s Oz is no utopia. The Wizard’s secret police are everywhere. Animals—those creatures with voices, souls, and minds—are threatened with exile. Young Elphaba, green and wild and misunderstood, is determined to protect the Animals—even if it means combating the mysterious Wizard, even if it means risking her single chance at romance. Ever wiser in guilt and sorrow, she can find herself grateful when the world declares her a witch. And she can even make herself glad for that young girl from Kansas. Recognized as an iconoclastic tour de force on its initial publication, the novel has inspired the blockbuster musical of the same name—one of the longest-running plays in Broadway history. Popular, indeed. But while the novel’s distant cousins hail from the traditions of magical realism, mythopoeic fantasy, and sprawling nineteenth-century sagas of moral urgency, Maguire’s Wicked is as unique as its green-skinned witch.

Download or read book A Soldier Supporting Soldiers written by Joseph Heiser, Jr. and published by . This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Soldier Supporting Soldiers is the second in a series of works by distinguished U.S. Army logisticians that focus on firsthand experience in the organization of combat service support. These studies seek to describe and analyze problems still familiar to those who provide the materials and other support required by today's Army. Their authors also clearly underscore the challenges that their successors will face in an era of limited resources. With active careers that span the last half century of Army history General Carter B. Magruder, in the recently published Recurring Logistic Problems As I Have Observed Them and Lt. Gen. Joseph M. Heiser, Jr., in the pages that follow, have much to say to the student of military operations about what constitutes efficiency and effectiveness in military logistics. General Heiser's study marks a clear departure from the Center of Military History's policy of refraining from publishing biographies or memoirs. Although we believe that the compelling reasons for establishing such a policy fifty years ago still pertain, we also think an exception should be made in this case. General Heiser has a unique skill in conveying important logistical lessons through personal anecdotes. Especially in his early chapters, he uses specific incidents from his own career to illuminate for his reader larger principles of logistics. Thus in this special instance our audience is treated to an extended, personal account that in some ways has just as much to say about military leadership and ethic as it does about logistics. The logistical principles discussed in this study appear especially vital to today's military students, given the recent massive challenges tologisticians posed by operations in the Persian Gulf and possible future contingency operations. I urge them to study and reflect on the insights provided in the engaging chapters that follow. Harold W. Nelson Washington, D.C.Brigadier General, USA December 1990Chief of Milit
