H. W. Hamlin, Secretary.
Medford I'recooling & Storage Company,
Medford, Oregon. , ,. .
Dear Mr. Hamlin: I am in receipt of your favor of the ;sth. and
note you are putting in cold storage for the cooling of your rruits,
especially pears. 1 am somewhat surprised that you have not had cold
storago protection long before this, because there is no question at all
in regard to its value in the handling of the pear crop. -
1 can remember when we flrst began handling pears In this section,
we had no storage and our losses were always very heavy; In tact we
were in doubt as to the advisability of trying to handle pears at all. If
we kept them around the house, even over night, they were lnjureu,
and if we got them away in fairly good shape they hollered rrom the
other end. ,
Arter we had somo cold storage, hut not enough to allow space ror
packing, we got by better, but still we had complaints from the other
end, of the boxes being cut In the centers as well as on the side alter
being put in the cooling room. . .
Since Increasing pur storage capacity we have used an a r cooled
room some 80x125 feet, where we pack all our pears, and keep the
temperature around 15 degrees. This Is about as cold as the packers
can work in They shiver some at first, but by wearing sweaters and
gloves seem to get used to it and don't complain.
Tho pears usually go In the day before, and the heat is removed
to 45 degrees before they are packed, with the boxes, paper, nails, etc.,
all in the same room. When these pears are packed and moved Into
lower temperatures, they are less than 15 degrees above Ireezing. 1 his
will usually come out in twenty-four hours or less, and the pears are
Bafe. When they are loaded into refrigerator cars, instead of raising
the temperature of the car the load will lower tne temperature, aim
the ice will not run out of the bunkers in streams as It does when you
load common storage or hot pears into an Iced car.
We never think of loss from bad condition in handling Dnrtlott
pears anv more. Wo have kept them as long as 40 dayR, then moved
them to Montreal. Of course pears must be picked right and put in
right. Cold storage will not keep yellow pears, or put back the keep
ing dualities that are gore before they get into the cooler.
If your storage is not completed, provide plenty of room, make your
rooms large, anil provide plenty of tonnage, because pears require
quick cooling. If your rooms are small there Is danger of your over
loading them with hot fruit, in which case they will become hot rooms
instead of cold rooms. You need lots of volume, lots of piping to pro
duce it. and the carloads of hot fruit going into largo rooms will not
destroy the temperatures as they do In the small rooms.
All your pears should be precooled. and It will require soma ton
nago to cool 2000 carloads or pears each season. This is why I sug
gest building large at first, because you are sure to be adding on on-s
other year. Your temperatures should he maintained, and not allowed
to rise more than 2 or 3 degrees at any tinie If you anticipate heavy
receipts, you can run your temperatures a few degrees below freezing,
just before the receipts go in. because if you keep the temperatures
around freezing, heavy receipts will raise them too high. We take In
as high as ten thousand boxes in our plant in a day, and rarely ever
lose more than 2 degrees. 1
If there are any other suggestions that I can give you, feel free to
take the matter up with me ut any time.
Very truly yours, 1
JMP Mc J. M. PERRY.
