up in ;i crusher and the mass put 

 through a centrifugal machine, from 

 which the condensed cider is extracted. 

 He dechired the commodity did not 

 compete with the apple in any way. 



One harrel of condensed cider will 

 make five barrels of cider by merely 

 adding water. It requires no preserva- 

 tive and cuts the costs of freight trans- 

 portation and cooperage for barrels. 

 In malving cider syrup a filter press 

 is necessary, and Mr. Gore stated that 

 the government was not through with 

 its experiments, as tlie proper clarity 

 had not been attained. In response to 

 a (iuer> from H. K. Stiahorn he stated 

 that tile syiiip could not be reduced to 

 sugar, as it failed to crystallize. He 

 complimented Seitei- Brothers of Moraii 

 Prairie on their product, which he said 

 was superior to the government prod- 

 uct. A. J. Seifer staled that his product 

 was the result of ten years of ex- 

 periment. 



H. C. Sampson, chairman of the b\ - 

 |)roducts committee, submitted the com- 

 mittee's report of its investigations of 

 the last twelve months. He reported 

 a total fruit acreage in the Northwest 

 of (i(l."),000 acres, which would produce 

 ultimately 150,000 cars of fruit, of 

 which the railroads couki furnish re- 

 frigerator car service for about 30,000 

 cars and 20,000 cars could be stored in 

 the Northwest, leaving a total of 

 100,000 cars to be cared for in b\ - 

 proilucis phmts. In 191-1, according to 

 the report, of 12,000 cars of apples in 

 the Northwest, .^,030 cars were com- 

 bined "C" grade and five-tier fruit not 

 large enough or good enough to be 

 wisely salable. 



"(Irowers must ail.jusi their ideas 

 away from the basis of the high prices 

 of a few years ago to a basis of modest 

 profit on carefully tended, econom- 

 ically managed orchards," said Mr. 

 Sampson. "The vital factor is the con- 

 servation of high-grade fruit and the 

 assurance of a reasonable price foi- 

 green fruit. Montana does not have a 

 single cannery or evaporator within 

 her territory. Nevertheless, during 

 191,3 Montana imported 00,000 cases of 

 canned fruit, 70 per cent of which was 

 peaches and pears. She imported 40 

 cars of apple-cider vinegar and 20 cars 

 of sweet cider. She imported 12,5,000 

 cases of tomatoes, 75,000 corn. 60,000 

 peas and 25,000 beans, or a total of 

 285,000 cases of canned vegetables. No 

 figures are obtainable as to her im- 

 portations of dried and evaporated 

 fruits and vegetables. Idaho in 1913 

 shipped out 175 tons of dried apples, 

 50 of dried prunes, 75 of other dried 

 fruits, 25 of canned berries, 100 of 

 canned peaches, 25 of canned rhubarb 

 anil 50 of beans, but during that same 

 xeai- the same state imported 185 tons 

 of dried apples, 75 of dried prunes, 150 

 (if dried peaches, 100 of other dried 

 fruits and 950 of canned fruits and 

 vegetables. Her imports were a total 

 of 9(i tons greater than her total 

 exports.
