decayed, wormy and badly-bruised 

 apples are unsatisfactory for the pur- 

 pose, making only the low grades of 

 evaporated stock known as waste and 

 chops. These low grades are quoted 

 at present in the Rochester, New York, 

 market-s (Fruit and Produce Marketer, 

 page 9, January 6, 1916) at from 2% to 

 3% cents per pound. With the cost of 

 evaporation at about 2 cents per pound 

 of evaporated fruit, and from 12 to 15 

 pounds of cured fruit per 100 pounds 

 of green fruit, such low-grade apples 

 would only net about 12 to 15 cents 

 per hundred, if the growers owned 

 their own evaporators. It is only 

 the good-to-mcdium grades of fresh 

 fruit which will bring the top prices 

 as cured fruit. This class includes 

 ineiiium-sizeil, poorly-colored, limb- 

 rubbed, lop-sided and slightly-bruised 

 fruit, but practically sound and edible 

 when received at the factory or dryer. 

 This is much the same type of fruit 

 demanded for canning, and at about the 

 same prices as quoted for canning 

 purposes. 



Turning now to the lowest grade or 

 cull fruit, there are several possibili- 

 ties for its disposal; it may be made 

 into vinegar, denatured alcohol, or used 

 as stock feed. The prices usually 

 realized for vinegar apples, of from 

 $2 to $5 per ton, may not warrant their 

 special harvest during the rush season 

 of picking and packing the higher- 

 graile fruit. The culls which come 

 from the orchard to the packing house, 

 however, mixed with better fruit, might 

 be profitably utilized for vinegar pur- 

 poses inasmuch as they have already 

 been harvested and assembled at a 

 central point. A portion of this fruit 

 usually is even adapted to evaporation 

 or canning, so the average value to the 

 grower might approach ?5 to ^8 per 

 ton, providing it could be handled 

 through a non-profit co-operative fruit- 

 growers' association. Even with low- 

 grade fruit which reaches the packing 

 houses taken care of, there are still 

 many tons remaining on the ground in 

 the average orchard which should be 

 utilized as stock feed, and here lies the 

 most practical disposition of most of 

 the real waste fruit of the orchard, 

 unless denatured alcohol enterprises 

 are established to consume such fruit 

 at prices paying something more than 

 cost of handling. 



In considering the value of the sev- 

 eral fruits compared to grain and hay 

 as stock feed, the accompanying table, 

 prepared by Professor Jaffa of the 

 University of California, is interesting.
