More than a fifth of the apples 

 in cold storage on October 31, in 

 both 1964 and 1965, were in 

 controlled atmosphere(CA)storage. 

 Over the next 4 months of 1964- 

 65, the volume sealed in CA stor- 

 age changed little while the volume 



in regular cold storage declined 

 with shipments therefrom. There- 

 after, stocks in and shipments from 

 both types of storage followed 

 similar courses. The storage 

 pattern for 1965-66 appears to be 

 close to that for 1964-65.
