pen to have a year when the weather conditions are very un- 

 usual, as they were last year. 



President Rogers : Are we not more hable to find this 

 trouble where the apples have been in a place where it was 

 very cold and then have been brought cut? Will not this 

 trouble develop more rapidly under such conditions? Has 

 anybody seen it that way, where the scald has developed very 

 rapidly after the fruit has been brought out of cold storage? 

 I have seen it where they looked very nice when first brought 

 out, but when you got them into the store and on the mar- 

 ket they have looked altogether different. The cheek of 

 the apple has developed those scald spots very rapidly, and 

 seems to have undergone a constant change. 



Dr. Clinton : That is, whether cold storage apples go 

 down rapidly? 



President Rogers : Yes. 



Dr. Clinton : I had not noticed that particularly, but 

 I suppose the}' are apt to after coming out and becoming ex- 

 posed to another temperature. 



President Rogers : Here is another question : "Will 

 commercial lime and sulphur be hurt by freezing?" Mr. 

 Henry, can you give us any information about that? 



]\Ir. a. T. Henry : Well, in the first place, Mr. Chair- 

 man, commercial lime and sulphur will not freeze at the 

 temperature at which water will freeze. I have had some 

 left over and it has been frozen several times, and when it 

 thaws out it is practically the same as the commercial lime 

 and sulphur. There will a slight scum form on the top, but 

 that little scum that forms does not seem to make any dif- 

 ference with it. No, I think it will not hurt lime and sulphur 

 to freeze. 



President Rogers : Here is another one : "What is 

 the matter with the fruit market?'' No name is signed to 

 it. Anybody care to answer that question ? 



Perhaps T had better answer that to the best of my abil- 

 ity. I do not think there is anything the matter with the 

 market at the present time. Take it back sixteen or eight-
