When these four lots of apples were received, only a small amount 
of starch was present in the early-picked samples and in the late- 
picked Winesap, while the starch had entirely disappeared from the 
late-picked Ben Davis. On the date of the second examination, Jan- 
uary 19, 1903, the starch in all the samples had entirely disappeared. 
RESULTS wirH SAMPLES TAKEN OUT OF CoLD STORAGE. 
On this date samples were removed from cold storage and kept in a 
dry room in the laboratory at a temperature of about 70° F., where, 
owing to the dryness of the atmosphere, they lost their moisture con- 
tent rapidly; before they were finally discarded some apples were 
evidently drier than others, and in many cases while one side of the 
apple was firm and plump the other was dry and shriveled. On this 
account great care In sampling was necessary and in spite of all the 
precautions taken the variations in composition were greater than was 
desirable. It was necessary also to take larger samples for analysis 
than would otherwise have been used.
