New Method of Bleaching Walnuts.
There has been so much complaint
about the present method Of bleaching
walnuts by the use of sulphur fumes
that an effort is being made to induce
the buyers to take them as they fall
from the trees without any treatment,
says the Los Angeles Times. 1t is evil
dent, however, that the movement will
fail, as the public has become accus.
toned to seeing bright, clean looking
nuts, and will continue to demand
them, even though such nuts DO not
have the flavor and keeping qualities
of the unsulphured nuts. Prof. Wood
bridge suggests the following method
of cleaning, which he claims will
effect all the good results Of the sui
phur process, with none of the deleteri
Gus effects:
Moisten white sawdust with per
cent solution of sulphuric acid. Place
nuts in tumbling barrel with the
moistened sawdust, and turn for one
to two minutes; dump on screen,
when the sawdust falls through and is
used over again. Turn the hose on the
nuts to wash off the little adhering
sawdust, and dry the nuts.
