BETTER FRUIT 



Pasc 



independence iind a new hold on his 

 proposition. 



The Wynian Fruit Farm, Brunswick, 

 Ohio, was up against tlie distance prob- 

 lem and solved it to its own satisfac- 

 tion with a motor truck. "I feel sure 

 we would not be able," says J. P. Wy- 

 nian, manager, in commenting on the 

 situation, "to handle our fruit crop 

 without the use of the motor truck. 

 Living, as we do, eighteen miles from 

 market, the tiuck saves us many dol- 

 lars in time and expense, over horses, 

 in handling our fruit." 



Thus, in matters of time, conveni- 

 ence, wider range of markets, grasp of 

 the job, and peace of mind, the motor 

 truck is proving to be the most popular 

 hit on the fruit grower's program. It 

 niefins shorter hauls, quicker deliveries, 

 more profit, and a better time for the 

 fruit grower; fresher fruit, better fiuit 

 and more fruit for the consuming 

 public. 



New Fruit Juices for the Home 



That the juice of currants, blackber- 

 ries, black raspberries, sour cherries, 

 and peaches may be prepared and kept 

 as successfully as grape juice and by 

 the same methods, has now been dem- 

 onstrated in the course of a series of 

 investigations which the United States 

 Department of Agriculture is conduct- 

 ing into the whole complicated ques- 

 tion of fruit juices. The juices of the 

 fruits mentioned, it has been found, re- 

 tain their characteristic color and fla- 

 vor after being sterilized and stored 

 away, and can, therefore, be made 

 available for use throughout the year 

 in households and at soda fountains, 

 etc. In this way it is thought much 

 fruit that has hitherto been allowed to 

 go to waste may be utilized. 



For reasons, however, which are not 

 as yet very thoroughly understood, the 

 various fruits differ greatly in the 

 efl'ects of sterilization upon them. Thus, 

 strawberry juice and red raspberry 

 juice lose their distinctive colors and 

 flavors very readily, and, therefore, 

 cannot be put up on a commercial scale 

 and marketed as grape juice is. Lemon 

 and orange juices also undergo peculiar 

 changes in flavor after sterilization, and 

 no satisfactory method of overcoming 

 this obstacle has yet been developed. 

 Lemon juice is the more promising, but 

 this, too, cannot yet be manufactured 

 commercially with success. With cer- 

 tain precautions, on the other hand, 

 luncapples can be made to yield a ster- 

 ilized juice of a very attractive flavor, 

 which should have distinct commercial 

 possibilities. The juice, however, shoulrl 

 be kept in cold storage at from 32 to 35 

 degrees Fahrenheit after sterilization, 

 and most of the suspended material 

 should be removed by means of a milk 

 separator or by filtration. Moreover, 

 where atmospheric oxygen is not ex- 

 cluded in the process of bottling, the 

 juice darkens gradually. 



These studies have already rcsulled 

 in the discovery of a method of produc- 

 ing concentrated ajiple juice by freez- 

 ing, which is no! only easier to ship
