2307. Anonymous. Further study needed on time for picking frozen lemons. California 

 Citrograph 4: 140. 1919. — It is pointed out that tests of lemons to determine the composi- 

 tion of sound and frozen lemons with special reference to the effect of slow thawing on frozen 

 lemons conducted by H. S. Bailey and C. P. Wilson, and published on by them in Journal of 

 Industrial and Chemical Engineering, show results different from those of Young and 

 Thomas. Their tables show that the specific gravity of stored frozen lemons is much closer 

 to normal fruit than it is to the frozen fruit remaining on the tree. The entire difference may 

 possibly be accounted for in the fact that the fruit which Bailey and Wilson used in their 

 tests was picked January 7, beginning about daylight and immediately after the freeze, 

 while the fruit used by Young and Thomas was picked January 13 after the freeze which 

 came on the night of January 6. — /. E. Coil.
