352 THE APPLE 



is built first for storage of apples, other articles taking second place. 

 It should be conveniently situated, both centrally for the members 

 and with a view to ease of shipping. 



A storehouse 40 x 100 ft. will store 18,000 barrels and will 

 take care temporarily of a crop of 25,000 barrels. The cost of 

 such a building will vary according to the material used, location, 

 labor, and other factors ; but a good storehouse built of wood, well 

 insulated, can be completed for between $3000.00 and $3500.00. 



A large concrete storehouse using ammonia system of refriger- 

 ation has just been completed at Sodus, New York. It accom- 

 modates 75,000 barrels of apples and was built at a cost of about 

 $ 1 2 5,000. Generally speaking, storage buildings of this type should 

 be built at a cost not to exceed one dollar per barrel.
