In the form the first column of “leaf results” shows the condition of the leaf when picked, whether wet (W) or dry (D). Unless this were noted the proper amount of Teas the leaf _ought_ to make could not be known, and there would be no check against theft, which is carried on to a great extent in many gardens. As explained previously, only the sections ready in each garden are picked. The sections are not entered in the form, only the number of the garden. The flushes now noted are the 20th, in some the 21st, or 22nd in others. The Tea is calculated from the leaf. It should be 25 per cent. if the leaf is picked dry, and 22 per cent. if picked wet. As each load comes in a memorandum is made as to whether it is dry or wet, and the figures in the column “Tea should be” are thus found. The Tea is weighed the morning after it is made and entered in the column “Tea made.” The percentage it bears to the leaf is then calculated and entered in the account column. After sifting the whole is weighed again, and the result entered in the column “Tea after sifting.” Doing this is very important, for it checks theft. Directly after it is weighed this second time it is put in the bins in the store. _Daily Leaf and Tea Account._ --------------------------------------------------- TEA RESULTS. --------------+------+---------+---------+--------- |Tea | | |Tea after Date |should| | |it is |be |Tea made |Per cent.|sifted --------------+------+---------+---------+--------- October | | | | Sunday, 1st |„ | „ | „ | „ | | | | | | | | | | | | Monday, 2nd |198 | 200 | 24 | 199 | | | | | | | | | | | | Tuesday, 3rd |231 | 230 | 25 | 233 | | | | Wednesday, 4th| | | | Thursday, 5th | | | | Friday, 6th | | | | Saturday, 7th | | | | | | | | Total for |„ |Mds. lbs.| | the week | | 1632 | | --------------+------+---------+---------+---------
