The Question of the Day 



With the fruit grower is, how can he derive 

 a revenue from his overripe and unsalable 

 fruits? 



It can be done. It is being done. How? By 

 the use of the new and up-to-date process of 



DEHYDRATING 



Which is the cheapest, quickest and best 

 process ever devised for preserving fruit with- 

 out changing the taste or flavor; is clean and 

 sanitary. There is always a market for this 

 product. Can be operated by anyone. Capac- 

 ity to meet all requirements.

out or eaten the roots. Ttiere was, 

 however, always an abundance of feed. 

 We find they will eat the tender young 

 shoots in the spring if left in the 

 orchard after the cover crop has been 

 turned under. Of course they would 

 eat the apples from low-headed trees if 

 put in the orchard too early in the fall. 

 Then, too, they will jjack the ground in 

 many places, especially in winters like 

 the past one, when we bad no freezes 

 to loosen the ground. This requires 

 great care to plow at the right time or 

 your ground will be cloddy. Generally 

 it will require more work to get your 

 ground in the same condition than it 

 would had the hogs not been pastured. 

 However, when you pocket the returns 

 from a nice, smooth bunch of fat hogs 

 you will not be able to see that your 

 orchard has been harmed in the least; 

 but you will be able to see the benefits 

 to your trees from your cover crop, 

 and also a nice profit from your hog 

 raising, which was accomplished with- 

 out extra help and with very little extra 

 labor on your part. 



Fine Table Syrup from Apples 



(V . S. Dep.irtmeiit of Agriculture) 



FOLLOWING extensive experiments 

 begun last spring, the head of the 

 fruit and vegetable utilization labora- 

 tory of the Department of Agriculture 

 has applied for a public service patent 

 covering the making of a new form of 

 table syrup from apple juice. This 

 patent will make the discovery, which 

 the specialists believe will be of great 

 value to all apple growers as a means 

 of utilizing their culls and excess 

 apples, common property of any cider 

 mill in the Ignited States which wishes 

 to manufacture and sell apple cider 

 .syrup. 



The new syrup, one gallon of which 

 is made from seven gallons of ordinary 

 cider, is a clear ruby or amber colored 

 syrup of about the consistency of cane 

 syrup and maple syrup. Properly ster- 

 ilized and put in sealed tins or bottles, 

 it will keep indefinitely, and after being 

 oi)ene(l will keep under household con- 

 ditions as well as other syrups. It has 

 a distinct fruity aroma and special 

 flavor of its own, which is described as 

 being practically the same as the taste 

 of the syrujjy substance which exudes 

 from a baked apple. The syrup can be 

 used like maple or other syrups for 

 griddle cakes, cereals, household cook- 

 ery and as flavoring in desserts. The 

 government cooking experts are at 

 Ijiesent experimenting with it in cook- 

 ery and expect shortly to issue recipes 

 for use of the new syrup in old ways 

 and for taking advantage of its special 

 flavor in novel dishes. 



The department chemists have already 

 produced over ten gallons of this syrup 

 in their laboratories, using summer and 

 other forms of apples. The success of 

 the experiments has greatly interested 

 some of the apple growers, and during 

 October a large cider mill in the Hood 

 Hiver Valley, Oregon, will, in co-opera- 

 lion wilh the government cliemisls.
