if INTRODUCTION.
;

Throughout the Pacific Northwest community packing of apples
is rapidly growing in popularity. This service is performed in thor-
oughly modern packing houses equipped with up-to-date machinery
and labor-saving devices, and the packing room is separate from that
used for storage or other purposes. |
It is the usual custom to pack the fruit of each grower separately ‘
and to record the results of the “pack-out” to the credit of the
growers’ accounts. It is imperative, therefore, that the identity of |
i ownership of the fruit be maintained on the warehouse floor
_ until a complete. tally has been made of the various grades and sizes,
and: the proper credit has been entered on the growers’ accounts.
‘Such a plan necessitates a very carefully devised system of warehouse-
floor checking as a safeguard against confusing the ownership of the
fruit prior to its being packed. This is particularly true during a
Season in which the tonnage is extremely heavy and the loose fruit |
Storage space is limited. During the rush of business in the fall of
the year, shippers are often compelled to pile fruit to the ceiling in |
their efforts to provide storage space for all deliveries and still retain
the identity of each growers’ fruit until it is properly recorded.
Within recent years several fruit-shipping organizations have
adopted a system of sampling apples by weight. This system is

62646°—21— Bull. 1006 ;

2 | BULLETIN 1006, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.

unique in the scheme employed to establish a record of the various
grades and sizes of apples packed for each grower. The aim of this
method is to accelerate the movement of the fruit through the packing
rooms and to avoid the expense of repiling and checking that so
frequently arises in attempting to retain the identity of each growers’
lot of loose fruit on the packing-house floor. Asample is selected from
each lot of fruit received. This sample is graded and sized, and a
record made of the weight of each grade and size in the sample. The
percentage relation of the total weight of the sample to the total
weight of the lot is then applied to ascertain the weight of the various
grades and sizes that make up the load, and the grower is given credit
for the total weight, classified as to grades and sizes.

THE FORMS AND THEIR USE.

Accounting forms have been devised for use in community packing
houses operating in the usual Way. A complete description of those
forms may be found in United States Department of Agriculture Bul-
letin 590, A System of Accounting for Fruit-Shipping Organizations.
Ample provision has been made in them for the adequate handling
of the business performed by most of the fruit-shipping institutions.
However, with the introduction of the sample test plan as a means
of determining the various grades and sizes packed for each grower’s
account, a condition has been created which is entirely different from
_ that existing in other organizations. For this reason special forms
are required.

All forms described in Bulletin 590 can be used by packing houses
that sample fruit by the weight method, with the exception of the
Loose Fruit Receipt Form No. 9, Packed Fruit Receipt Form No. 11,
Register of Receipts Form No. 12, Reconcilement of Fruit Deliveries
Form No. 13, and Account Sales Form No. 21. To take the place of
these, five new forms are presented in this bulletin. ;

The new forms have been devised with the view of relieving the sam-
ple test clerk of all unnecessary clerical work so that the weighing of -
each sample may be carried on without undue interruptions or delays.

THE LOOSE-FRUIT RECEIPT.’

The loose fruit receipt (Form. No. 1) is made out in triplicate; the
original copy is given to the grower, the duplicate tissue copy is sent
to the office, and the triplicate cardboard copy follows the sample
through the test room. A small tin holder is attached to one of the
boxes of the sample and in this the triplicate of the receipt is inserted.
This card serves as a means of identification of the sample until it has
been graded.

ACCOUNTING RECORDS FOR SAMPLING APPLES BY WEIGHT. 3
THE SAMPLED-FRUIT RECEIPT.

The sampled-fruit receipt (Form No. 2) is made in duplicate; the
original is given to the grower and the duplicate is retained in the
office files. This form shows the weight of each sample after classi-
_ fication into grade and size groups, and the total weight of the load
similarly classified.

Considerable care and attention are necessary in the preparation of
the sampled-fruit receipt, particularly in recording the test weights.
This record is the original entry of the number of pounds of fruit of the
various grade and size groups credited to the grower’s account, and all
future computations are based on these figures.

THE REGISTER OF SAMPLED-FRUIT RECEIPTS.

The register of sampled-fruit receipts (Form No. 3) is made in
duplicate. The original copy serves as an office record, and the dupli-
cate (further described as the reconcilement of fruit deliveries, Form
No. 4) serves as a statement for the grower.

To facilitate posting, the register of receipts is placed on the upper
part of the sheet occupied by the account sales form. This is done
so that the clerical work entailed in determining the fruit contributed
to the various pools may be reduced to a minimum by merely carrying
down the totals.

Accounts are opened in the register of sampled-fruit receipts under
the names of the various growers. One sheet is provided for each
variety brought in by each grower. The receipts are posted daily,
thus making available at all times a full and complete record of the
quantity, grades, and sizes received for each grower’s account.

THE RECONCILEMENT OF FRUIT DELIVERIES.

In order to avoid clerical work entailed in rectifying errors which
may be found after pools have been closed, the reconcilement of
fruit deliveries (Form No. 4) has been prepared. This form is the
duplicate copy of the register of sampled-fruit receipts, and is arranged
as a statement of the total amount of fruit packed for each grower,
classified according to grades and sizes.

Growers are requested to compare carefully the figures on the
reconcilement statement with the total quantity of fruit appearing
on the sampled-fruit receipts held by them, and to report any dis-
crepancies promptly. iv

Before issuing, these statements should be carefully checked with
the sampled-fruit receipts so as to discover any errors in posting.

THE ACCOUNT SALES.

_ The account sales (Forms No. 5 and 5a) is drawn up in the form of
a duplicating ledger statement; the original copy is retained in the

4 BULLETIN 1006, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.

office and the duplicate copy forwarded to the growers for their
information. The original copy of this form occupies the lower part
of the sheet provided for the register of sampled-fruit receipts, the
duplicate copy occupying the lower part of the sheet provided for
the reconcilement of fruit deliveries. Perforated lines permit them
to be separated easily.

As soon as all discrepancies have been reported and the proper
corrections made on the reconcilements, the total weights are reduced
to boxes and. transferred to the account sales. The information
shown on the account sales includes the classification of fruit by
grades and sizes, net average prices per box (after all selling and
handling charges have been deducted), and net returns for each
variety of fruit.

METHOD OF OPERATION.

RECEIVING LOOSE FRUIT.

Fruit is delivered to the community packing house in open boxes
without being sorted into grades or sizes. _As each lot is unloaded, a
loose fruit receipt (Form No. 1) is made out in triplicate. The origi-
nal is given to the grower as evidence of the delivery of the fruit, the
duplicate (tissue) copy is sent to the office for filing, and the triplicate
(cardboard) copy is attached to one of the boxes of each sample by
means of a small tin holder and serves as a means of identifying the
sample in the testroom. The office copy of each loose-fruit receipt is
held in a temporary file awaiting the receipt of the triplicate cardboard
copy used to identify the samples.

It is advisable to check over the numerical order of the “ads
turned into the office each day by the sample clerk to be sure that
none are missing. This is a very important practice and should be
enforced rigidly as protection for the growers’ account. To facilitate
posting, receipts are then arranged alphabetically, according to
growers’ names. By referring to the temporary file, it is possible to
determine at any time the quantity of fruit remaining in the sample
room to be tested and also to determine the length of time samples are
held before being tested.

The number of boxes selected as a sample from each load varies
with the size of the load. It is usual to set aside 1 box in every 20
(about 5 per cent) as a fair test of each load of fruit delivered. No
fixed quantity is required, as it is generally felt that, regardless of
the size of the sample, an accurate test will be-obtained. After
attaching the triplicate of the loose fruit receipt to one box of the
sample, it is trucked into the test room, and the remainder of the
load is stacked with the unpacked fruit of the same variety.

ACCOUNTING RECORDS FOR SAMPLING APPLES BY WEIGHT. 5
SORTING AND RECORDING.

All results obtained by the test clerk in determining the net weights
of each grade and size group contained in any one sample are recorded
on the duplicate copy of the sampled-fruit receipt. From the
triplicate of the loose-fruit receipt the net weight of the fruit, includ-
ing the boxes, is transcribed on the sampled-fruit receipt (Form No.
2) in the space provided under the caption, Loose-fruit weights. The
weights of the various grades and sizes contained in the sample are
recorded on the sampled-fruit receipt under the caption, Test weights.
These figures are then checked daily in the office as a safeguard
against errors. To accelerate the sampling work, the test clerk
records only the weights of each lot without working out any per-
centage figures. Several samples belonging to a grower are often
combined and one test made of the combined lots, especially when
the tests are small. At the close of each day all sampled-fruit
receipts are sent to the office to be entered on the growers’ accounts.

The work of ascertaining the net weights of each grade and size
group must be very accurate and painstaking. To facilitate matters,
the scales used in the sampling operations are fitted with beams giving
the readings in pounds and decimal parts instead of ounces. The
grading of samples is usually performed on a small model of the
machines used in the general packing room.

As each day’s sampled-fruit receipts are received in the office, the
numbers are checked consecutively and a comparison made with the
loose-fruit receipts held in the temporary file. The checking of the
test clerks’ computations on the duplicate copy of the sampled-fruit
receipt is worthy of special emphasis and should be carefully per-
formed. The percentage of test and the total weights of each grade
and size group depend upon the accuracy of the test clerk’s compu-
tations. | ek,

The following items on the duplicate sampled-fruit receipt should
be carefully checked against like items appearing on the loose fruit
receipt:

1. Net weight of fruit, boxes included.

2. Number of boxes containing fruit.

The following computations made by the test clerk and entered
on the duplicate sampled-fruit receipt should be carefully checked:

1. Net weight of boxes delivered containing fruit (number of boxes times the arbi-
trary net weight of each box).

2. Net weight of fruit delivered (net weight of fruit, including boxes minus weight
of boxes).

3. Net weight of each tested lot appearing under the caption Test weights (gross

weight of fruit, including the bin minus the weight of the bin).
4. Total test weights.

6 BULLETIN 1006, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. -
COMPUTING THE GRADE AND SIZE GROUP WEIGHTS.

. It is the duty of the office clerk in charge of receipts to ascertain
aes percentage the fruit in the sample is of the total fruit on the
load and to compute the weights of the various grades and sizes.
This percentage is found by dividing the total net weight of the
sample by the net weight of the fruit on the load. For example:

Assume that 163.2 pounds is the net weight of the whole sample
and that 4,000 pounds is the net weight of the load of fruit. To
determine the percentage of test: 163.2 divided by eu equals
4.08 per cent.

Having determined the percentage of test, it is a comparatively

simple matter to compute the total weight of each grade and size in
the lot from the results of the fest, as reported by the test clerk
under “Test weights’? on the sampled-fruit receipt. This can be
done either by dividing the test weights by the percentage of test,
or by multiplying the test weight by the reciprocal of the percentage
of test. as shown in the table on page 9.
_ Now, the percentage of test is 4.08 per cent. Suppose that the
Extra Fancy (36-125) test weight is 50.2 pounds; Fancy (36-125)
test weight, 75.6 pounds; ‘‘C”’ grade (36-163) test weight, 37.4 pounds.
To compute the weights of the various grades 1 in this size group by
the percentage division method:

Test weights. Total weights.

- Extra Fancy (36-125)... -- 50. 2 pounds divided by 0.0408 equals 1, 230. 40 pounds.
Wancy (363125): 225 12... - 75. 6 pounds divided by 0.0408 equals 1, 852. 94 pounds.
SSG 1G jee tbe 37.4 pounds divided by 0.0408 equals 916.66 pounds.

Poraem nay Lah 163.:2‘pounds: “0 regs ee 4,000. 0 pounds.

(In this method the percentage is expressed as hundredths, i. e., -

0.04 is used instead of 4 per cent, hence there can never be ise than
two decimal places in the deta

To facilitate the above computations the reciprocals are carried
out only two decimal places and the last digit of the total weight is
corrected as a means of obtaining a balance.

REGISTERING THE SAMPLED-FRUIT RECEIPTS.

The weights of the various grade and size groups appearing on the
sampled-fruit receipts are entered daily on the register of sampled-

ACCOUNTING RECORDS FOR SAMPLING APPLES BY WEIGHT. a

fruit receipts (Form No. 3). (The receipts should first be arranged
in numerical order to be sure that none are missing, and then rear-
ranged in alphabetical order to facilitate posting.) These entries
should be checked back daily as a safeguard against errors in posting.
If this practice is followed, the reconcilements can be forwarded to
growers immediately at the close of the packing season, without fur-
ther checking. At the conclusion of the packing season the weights
appearing in the various grade and size groups are totaled and reduced
to boxes. After this is done all records are in terms of boxes and the
reconcilement of fruit delivered is ready to be sent to the growers.
This should not be done, however, until the number of boxes of the
various grades and sizes has been entered on the account sales.

REPORTS TO GROWERS.

An account sales (Forms No. 5 and 5A) should be made out for
each variety contributed by a grower. Posting the number of boxes
to this form must be done before closing the pools. The form fur-
nishes a complete record of the quality and quantity of fruit contributed
by the various growers to a given pool. It is made in duplicate, the
original copy being filed in the office and the duplicate serving as a
statement for the grower.

To facilitate posting at the time of closing the pools, account sales
are arranged in alphabetical order according to varieties, and then
numbered. For reference purposes a recapitulation of the total num-
ber of boxes in the pool, classified according to grades and sizes, should
be prepared and filed on top of the growers’ distribution sheets.
This permits the contents of the pool to be seen at a glance.

The average prices shown on the account sales are computed after
deducting all selling and handling charges from the gross sales of the
fruit. Such items as packing, building. and equipment deductions,
or part payments on capital stock notes are charged to the grower’s
ledger account. Account sales should in all cases be forwarded to
growers immediately following the closing of each pool.
