Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book reveals the substantial inefficiencies observed within the tomato prepackaging industry, and offers practical solutions that could lead to a 36% increase in productivity for those who adopt its advice. With an estimated saving of over 2 million dollars annually in direct labor costs alone, this book is of particular interest to plant owners and managers, particularly those using extensive manual operations. The solutions stem from a study of 14 tomato prepackaging plants. It was found that sorting and packaging operations were the most inefficient areas. Setting up and filling consumer packages with tomatoes accounted for 15% of the total direct labor used in the 14 plants. The most efficient method of filling trays was partial tray filling at a conveyor belt, whereby each operator placed 1 or 2 tomatoes into a mechanically set-up tray moving down a conveyor, enabling a crew of 10 tray-fillers to set up and fill consumer packages of tomatoes an hour, as compared with an average of 2,250 consumer packages an hour, the average production rate found in the 14 plants surveyed. Sorting the tomatoes accounted for 26% of the total direct labor used, and the most efficient method was sorting from 1 conveyor belt onto other conveyor belts, a method which required only 20 man-hours to sort a carload of tomatoes, compared with an average of 34 man-hours found in the 14 plants surveyed.

That tradition is vividly portrayed in Gardens of Georgia, commissioned by the Garden Club of Georgia, Inc., to commemorate its sixtieth anniversary and to celebrate the heritage and beauty of Georgia's gardens.As noted by Georgia founder James Oglethorpe in 1732, Georgia has a happy climate. From the broad-shouldered mountains of the Blue Ridge, through the red clay of the rolling piedmont, across the sprawling piney coastal plain, and on to the subtropical islands on the Atlantic, Georgia is blessed with four regions of gardening opportunities, distinctly defined by differences in elevation, climate, soil, and natural vegetation.Writer William Mitchell and photographer Richard Moore have portrayed the wonders of gardens historic and contemporary, public and private, and urban, suburban, and rural from each of these regions. Whether illustrating overall gardenscapes or capturing intimate vignettes and individual blossoms, Richard Moore's photographs have a depth of color and clarity of detail that immerse the reader into a world of delightful splendor. The text by Willaim Mitchell not only describes the settings as they are today, but also spins a rich background of history in the context of the botanical Eden observed by early explorers.The richest legacy of each generation is to preserve and protect an always vulnerable natural environment and help nature bring forth its green and glowing cycles of rebirth. Gardens of Georgia celebrates that legacy, sharing the ongoing dream of paradise--a new Eden--whether it is in a grand formal garden from an earlier era or a small plot of perennials in a Georgia yard. ; FINE/FINE.
