Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 40, Number 61, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 April 1908 — A Home Made Fruit Ladder. [ARTICLE+ILLUSTRATION]

A Home Made Fruit Ladder.

A handy fruit ladder can easily be made with just a Common ladder and two long stout props. The props should be provided with forks at the the ends which fit over the rungs of the ladder. . The proper arrange-

ments of the props in order to secure a firm ladder is shown in the cut. The advantage of this form of fruit ladder, over the coknmon step-ladder is that by means of the movable props the ladder can be placed in any desirable position without disturbing the branches or fruit.
