A Study of Handling Methods to Improve Fruit Market- 

 ability , (l) Investigate potential of hydrocooling peaches 

 prior to shipment to market, (2) Measure rate of cooling 

 in commercial storages to demonstrate presence or lack of 

 sufficient rate of cooling. (3) Learn possibilities of 

 control of storage scald by applying diphenyl amine to apples 

 in a hydrocooler. (4) Learn if apples moving from orchards 

 in different storage conditions reach storage in about same 

 condition. (5) Demonstrate means of control of weight loss 

 of Golden Delicious apples in commercial storages. (6) Study 

 means of educating handlers and reducing bruising on apples.

Fluorosis in Plants and Animals . To learn (l) extent and 

 distribution of fluorosis in plants and animals in selected 

 areas of Utah; (2) if increased levels of prain, Ca, and P, 

 and aluminum salts will help to alleviate symptoms of fluorosis 

 in dairy cattle; (3) if dairy cattle can be raised in areas 

 where fluorides are in atmosphere; (4) by survey on animals 

 if fluorosis in animals is increasing or decreasing; (5) toxic 

 level of fluorides for young dairy cattle; (6) by autopsies 

 and histopathologic al studies on animals with varying degrees 

 of fluorosis; (7) by survey if fluoride residue is decreasing 

 on plants in Utah County.

 Plants . (1) Survey areas of fluoride injury to plants for 

 purpose of: learning role of insects in injury of plants, 

 studying insect populations and species on plants injured 

 by fluorine. (2) By greenhouse experiments learn if fluoride 

 level of plant has any direct effect on activity of insects 

 associated with plant under study.
