UTILIZATION OF GRAPE POMACE AND STEMS. 19 
Since it was deemed more practicable to assemble the waste ma- 
terial at some utilization center and there work it up into merchant- 
able products, several widely separated points were selected which 
would represent the maximum range of ready-assembling stations, 
and also their importance from the standpoint of working up waste 
materials from other industries. Table II gives the estimated cost 
of assembling the waste at several selected points. The freight 
rates represent car lots wherever possible and are given for shipping 
the whole pomace and the seed alone.

The operating costs may be divided into two general groups: (1) 
Those pertaining to drying the pomace, with the separation and 
bagging of the seed, and (2) those concerned with working up the 
material into the finished products. 
The charges against drying the pomace and separating and bagging 
the seed may be itemized as follows:

These figures cover the cost for handling the pomace of a plant. 
crushing 1,000 tons of grapes for a season of 20 days and represent 
the charge on 200 tons of wet pomace dried to 100 tons containing 20 
per cent of moisture. One ton of dried and bagged pomace costs,, 
therefore, approximately $18.
