BETTER FRUIT 



An inspection of the prune dryers can 

 follow very successfully the campaign 

 of investigittion ;uul education. As soon 

 as the people come to realize the ini- 

 portiuicc of this work they will wel- 

 come any inspection which will aid us 

 in getting better production. A series 

 of meetings will be necessary before 

 next season before we really accom- 

 plish results, such as the meeting at 

 Salem last year. 



The part the agricultural experiment 

 station is playing in this program will 

 interest you. The departments of chem- 

 istry, plant pathology, entomology and 

 horticulture are all working on prob- 

 lems that will assist the prune men. 

 In the department of horticultm-e we 

 are .starting some plant-breeding work. 

 We are working out the pollination this 

 year of the prune and are hoping as a 

 result to be able to make some selec- 

 tions and crosses which may enable us 

 to secure a better prune than we now 

 have. We are conducting fertilizer 

 experiments on some of our prune 

 orchards to deternune whether or not 

 the addition of certain plant foods will 

 be desirable. We have also started our 

 first year's investigations in the possi- 

 bility of standardization. We do not 

 care to say very much about our first 

 year's work, altliough we are somewhat 

 encouraged. We feel this work should 

 be checked over carefully for a number 

 of seasons before we can consistently 

 take a definite stand. We have started 

 a study of this problem from the field 

 to the packed box. The fruit has been 

 studied in its dilTerent natural groups 

 in the field. We have found that with 

 this fruit there is a great dilTerence in 

 specific gravities between those which 

 drop naturally and those which have 

 to be shaken from the tree. In fact, 

 there is such a difference that there is 

 some promise that by means of a de- 

 ternunation of differences in specific 

 gravities we may be able to establish 

 certain grades; and that certain quali- 

 ties, such as maturity, sugar content, 

 general eating and drying qualities are 

 very closely associated with this difTer- 

 ence in specific gravity. We have also 

 come to the conclusion that the use of 

 lye is not only undesirable but unneces- 

 sary. There has been a feeling among 

 the American people, and among cer- 

 tain experts of the Department of Agri- 

 culture, that the use of such substances 

 as lye and sulphur is unnecessary in 

 connection with the drying of fruits, 

 and the feeling is that the various sub- 

 stances used are not so much for the 

 purijose of simplifying methods of 

 evajjoration or to enable the grower to 

 turn out a better product, but on the 

 contrary to allow him to use certain 

 fruits and vegetables which are unde- 

 sirable for foods, and that the use of 

 such chemicals can cover a nudtitude 

 of sins. Whether or not this conten- 

 tion is true is not for me to say, or to 

 discuss at this time. The fact remains 

 that many people believe this to be the 

 case, and many people both in this 

 country and abroad are demanding that 

 such substances be not used. This 

 feeling is so widespread that investiga- 

 tions have been started in vai'ious wavs
