IMPROVED 



Evaporator 



After 1 7 years of hard 

 work studying and ex- 

 periuientiug' we have 

 perfected an eva])ora- 

 tor that is a comijlete 

 sviocess. It ean he op- 

 ernted on a waue aud 

 labor basis low euoiigh 

 to leave a handsome 

 uiargin of profit o\\ all 

 fruits and vegetables. 



It only takes 13 hours to evaporate Italian prunes; 3 hours for apples; 4 hours for peaches, pears and apricots. It evaporates 

 all fruits in from one-fourth to one- third the time of old style hot air drier and the evaporated fruits are far superior. 



By soaking the product in water a few hours before using it can not be distinguished from the fresh fruit. It is absolutely 

 impossible to get ptomane poison from these goods. It is not a complicated process and can be operated by any intelligent fruit man.

 mously opposed to the eight-hour-a-day 

 law as applying to the fruit industry. 

 It was the consensus of opinion that 

 such a law would mean millions of dol- 



lars of loss. The fruit crop matures 

 c|uickly and ripens rapidly. All over- 

 ripe fruit is practically a loss. It was 

 the consensus of opinion, at the present 

 time under the present labor condi- 

 tions, that inasmuch as fruitgrowers

croi)s harvested before they become 

 too ripe that any law that would tend 

 to shorten the present hours woukl 

 mean an innnensc loss to the fruit- 

 grower and naturally result in the 

 quantity of fruit being shipped mate- 

 rially lessened, intimately atTecting the 

 consuming public and the whole popu- 

 lation of the United States by reducing 

 the supiily of fresh fruits. Fresh fruits 

 are not only delightful but a whole- 

 some diet, and therefore it would seem 

 the public ought to be interested in 

 opposing anything that would tend to 

 lessen the supply. 



The "Control of Pear Scab" was ably 

 discussed by Professor Ralph E. Smith 

 of Berkley, who also delivered an ad- 

 dress on "The Cause and Decay of 

 Fruit in Transit," containing valuable 

 information for the grower. 



Professor B. B. Pratt of Berkeley, 

 whom many fruitgrowers of the North- 

 west will remember, gave a very' inter- 

 esting talk on "Apple Handling and 

 Storage" and "Pre-Cooling and Storage 

 of Pears." 



"The Codling Moth and Its Control" 

 came in for a splendid discussion, 

 which was indulged in by Professor

 Colorado: Dr. K. 0. Ball, director of the 

 F^xperiment Station of Logan, I'tah, and 

 others.
