POMOLOGICAL PARAGRAPH 



Aspiration bulbs continue to be troublesome : Many growers use a 

 rubber aspiration bulb to pump samples of atmosphere from their CA 

 rooms to the Orsat analyzer. These bulbs become porous and prac- 

 tically every year some CA storage operator obtains erroneous read- 

 ings with his Orsat analyzer because of introduction of outside air 

 through the bulb during the aspiration process. Two years ago, 

 'Mcintosh' apples in 2 CA rooms were severely injured from low oxy- 

 gen (Og) because the leaky aspirator bulb was responsible for higher 

 Op readings than were actually present in the atmosphere of the 

 storages . 



A few storage operators who have short sampling lines to the 

 storages skip the rubber aspiration bulb and use the water level- 

 ling bottle to take their CA storage atmosphere samples. For most 

 storage operators, however, it is more practical to replace the 

 aspiration bulb with a small air pump. The investment in an air 

 pump is minut^in comparison to the value of the apples in storage.
