BETTER FRUIT 



April 



Speaking of Arsenate of Lead 



One of the largest and most thorough orchardists of the entire West says: 



(Name and address on request) 



"Have made tests of practically all other brands, but have always returned to 

 Grasselli with considerable satisfaction because: 



"First — It remains in suspension better than others. 



"Second — It leaves no residue in the tank. 



"Third -It seems to stick to the fruit, while other brands seen to wash off. 



"Fourth-It kills the worms. 



"It is almost impossible to find a wormy apple on any of my ranches. Less 

 than 1°; will cover all my losses in that respect." 



IT WILL DO YOUR WORK EQUALLY WELL 



Twelve years of unvarying, successful and satisfactory use throughout the Northwest . 

 Always uniform, dependable and effective.

Discussions at Ninth Apple Show 



Continued from page 10 



munities have been bitten and taken 

 .steps which showed poor judgment. 



Question: Is it as easy to dispose 

 of evaporated fruit as any kind of 

 fruit? 



Dr. Caldwell : Yes, taking a period 

 of years into consideration. The vol- 

 ume of evaporated apples fluctuates 

 directly as the apple crop of Western 

 New York because 75 per cent of the 

 evaporated apples are made there. 

 This year their crop is short; some of 

 their evaporators did not run more 

 than two weeks, as against 80 or 90 

 days in ordinary seasons. Their out- 

 put won't be 10 per cent of what it has 

 been during the last five-year period; 

 that means that the total volume put 

 on the market this year will be about 

 one-third of the 1913-1914 output, which 

 was normal. That, of course, means 

 high prices over the next eighteen 

 months. 



Question: Are apples held over from 

 one year to the next of good quality? 



Dr. Caldwell: If dried to 27 per cent 

 moisture they are very nearly as per- 

 ishable as fresh fruit; they can be 

 handled only during the cold months 

 and they deteriorate promptly as soon 

 as shipped into warmer territory. I 

 may say that the New York producers 

 have absolutely slain their Southern 

 markets. For the past seven or eight 

 years it has been practically impossible 

 to find on the market of one of the 

 .Southern States an apple made in New 

 York, for the simple reason that they 

 won't keep and the dealer must get 

 rid of them while the cold weather 

 lasts. That is not true of the Virginia 

 product. I have over at the Apple Show 

 samples coming from five evaporators 

 in Washington or Oregon, which have 

 been kept in my laboratory in the open 

 in an ordinary wooden packing box for 

 9^2 or 10 months and no deterioration 

 has occurred. Those samples were 

 evaporated to 22 to 24 per cent moist- 

 ure. I see no reason why they should 

 not be kept five years. 



Question: What would be the in- 

 creased cost of drying to 22-24 per cent 

 moisture? 



Dr. Caldwell : No increase for labor 

 and an increase of about 5 per cent for 

 fuel and a cutting down of the volume 

 to be handled of about 5-6 per cent. 

 The larger portion of the difi"erence in 

 the water content would be taken out 

 not on the dryer itself, but in the car- 

 rving room.
