TO KEEP APPLES.
“The apple crop is irregular in|
Pennsylvania and elsewhere in Amer-
ica this year. In some local places |
there is a good crop, and in many |
others there is but a partial crop.
However, there are enough apples to!
give all a fair supply at a fair]
price,” Says H. A. Surface state zool-|
ogist, department of agriculture, !
Harrisburg.
In discussing the subject of keep-
ing apples he said: “To keep apples,
a person should select sprayed fruit.
It has been well proven that sprayed
fruit keeps much better than that |
which has not been sprayed. There
are two reasons for this. One is that
it is with out damage by insects or
fugus diseases at the time it is put in-
to storage;and even though not spray-
ed an undamaged apple keeps much
longer than one that is damaged. The
second reason is that the exceeding-
ly minute amount of fungicidal mate- |
rial applied to an apple in the pro- |
cess of spraying, while not in the |
least bit harmful to a person eating
the apple , still retains enough of its
fungicidal properties to prevent the
ready action of disease germs.
To keep fruit well it should be sort-
ed and all are injured by insects
especially the codling moth, and all
that have the least eveidence of rot-
ting or specking, or damage by fuan-
gus disease, should be rejected and
used immediately. Also, all fruits
damaged by bruises, and especially
by falling and piercing or cutting the
skin, as by stones or stubbles, should
be selected for immediate use and
certainly not be put aside for storage.
in other words store only sound fruit
which is not cut bruised, cut, or brok-
en.
Put the apples into rooms that can
be ventilated, but at the same time |
be kept from frezing. Open the win:
dows or ventilators at night, and
while the air is warmer outside than
inside during the the day close them
80 as to keep the interior of the fruit
room cool . An abundance of cold,
fresh air is important in keeping
fruit.
It should not be too dry,
will cause the fruit to shrivel. Fruit
kept in a real dry room does not come
out of storage as plump and fresh
as that in a room containing more or
less moisture. Therefore kettles, or
barrels of water in a fruit room are
sometimes helpful. They are also
useful in preventing the freezing of
the fruit because of the immense a
mount of latent heat given off by the
water when it commences to freeze.
The fruit does not freeze at a temper-
ature quite so high as that for the
“..f#reezing of the water, but it is too
risky to attempt to hold the fruit in
a room after ice crystals have com-
menced to form on water in the most
exposed or coldest part of the room.
Often an iron kettle containing some
live coals will be sufficient to warm |
a room to the safety point. Outside
banking on the windward side is im-
portant. Occasional ventilation is se-
cured and the essential work of sort-
ing out spoiled fruit later in the win-
ter is facilitated.
AUTOMOBILE ACT TO BE
RIGIDLY ENFORCED.
Applications for 1916 licenses are
coming into the State Highway De-
partment in great numbers but State
Highway Commissioner Cunningham
has issued a statement in which he
again called upon owners and oper-
ators of automobiles to get their ap-
plications for license tags in at an
early date. The statement particu-
larly urged those owners operating
five or more cars to hurry their appli-
cations along. Prompt action by
these owners will do away with much
of the congestion which has arisen
in previous years in the Automobile
Division of the State Highway De-
partment.
Another class of owners to whom
the Commissioner particularly ad-
-dressed his appeal are those operating ;
Jjitneys. The enormous increase in
automobile traffic in congested centres
the last year is due largely to the op-
eration of jitneys, causing the State
Highway Commissioner to lay great
stress on this in the statement just
issued.
While the statement is so worded
as not to express theats of what will
be done to those who fail to make
their applications in time, yet, the
Commissioner made it plain that a|
rigid enforcement of the provisions of
thse Automobile Act would be under-
taken and that those who neglect to
apply for licenses need expect no
leniency.
NEW. POSTAL RULING.
The postal authorities at Washing-
ton recognizing the the liability of
postmasters to make mistakes in get-
ting letters in the wrong boxes, have
fixed a penalty of $300 on persons
taking mail out of an office other than
their own, and not returning it imme-
diately. The excuse that it is the post
master’s fault cuts no ice. If you have
been getting other people's mail yom
