fungus on them, and while we calculate to crate up our smutty, 

 fungus apples, they haul them to the evaporator. 



Mr. Whittier : I want to say one word more about getting 

 rid of the trypeta by using up the poor apples. The first try- 

 petas I ever saw anywhere round near my premises was the year 

 after I bought apples to evaporate. I got quite a lot of apples with 

 trypetas in them. I had more cores and skins than I could use 

 up with my stock and I dumped them out into the orchard and 

 other places around. Well, the apples that had trypetas in them 

 and were not fit to use were dumped out into the orchard and 

 the next year I had trypetas in my early fruit, and it is the first 

 I ever had. You will have noticed that the first trypetas that 

 ever appeared here in the county appeared near the villages. 

 One year we had a scarcity of apples, they were imported from 

 Massachusetts and they have had trypetas there I know more 

 than fifty years, and we got apples here from Massachusetts that 

 had trypetas in them ; people around in the villages bought 

 them, — but very few were bought in the country around, but in 

 the villages they bought them and dumped the waste at their 

 back doors and other places, and thus trypetas were brought 

 around the villages, and that is where they appeared first. We 

 never knew them before that in this county or in this State. 

 Thus you see they can be carried in these poor apples, and 

 thrown out as waste and dumped, the trypetas have a chance to 

 live. Picking up these apples and using them for canning or 

 evaporating, and dumping the waste out, will not get rid of the 

 trypetas ; but if you let the hogs and sheep eat them I think per- 

 haps you might get rid of them. 



Mr. DeCoster : I believe that clean culture will destroy the 

 trypetas. I have one orchard in a sheep pasture. I raise in 

 that orchard from four to six hundred bushels every year and 

 never have I found a trypeta apple in that orchard. In my 

 orchard at home I am troubled very much with the trypeta, for 

 the very reason that I don't do my duty, and I am trying to solve 

 the problem. I think by practicing clean culture we will get 

 rid of the trypeta.
