PRESERVING ORANGES.
New Process Which IL Said to Be Better
Than Cold Storage.

The Southern California Fruit E1-
change, with headquarters, in Los
Angeles, has for some time been ex-
perimenting with q new system of
preserving oranges while in process
of shipment. Last year, experiments
were made with good results, but the
matter was undertaken too late in the
season for anything definite to be de-
termined. The question has been
taken up again this year, and, early
as the orange season is, the Fruit E1-
change is preparing to announce the
complete success in every particular
of its new system.
r. R. Snowden, :of Los Angeles, is
the inventor, and athsaprocess con-
sists in fumigating the oranges with
certain gases before shipment, in
order to kill the fungus which is the
cause of the decay.
Test shipments have been made
from California to J Kansas City
and, upon the arrival of the cars here,
it was found that OF the natural fruit
which was uniced aud untreated
chemically, the decay was ten per
cent of the iced fruit ,tyo per cent.
wasrspilsd; while of the portion that
was treated by this ne1 process Of
using gases, only one per cent was
unfit for use. If to this be addedthe
fact the cost of the new treatment is
very much below that of using ice, as
is at present done, it can readily be
seen how vastly important is the new
invention. The cost of icing car
load of oranges across the continent
is about 1920, while ithas been rough
lily estimated that $40 will cover the
cost of the chemical process. 3''a
T.. r.. Cochraue, of the firm OF
w. G.. Cochraue & Son, agents Ia this
city for the Southern Californiss sFruit
Exchange, talked interestingly yes
terday of the new method. "There
is not the slightest room for doubt"
he said, "thst our new chemical pro-
cess has proven o success. Not only
is the fruit preserved better than by
the use OF ice,: but the saving in cost
is tremendous. Just what the cost is
OF using gases We do not know exact
ly, as there seems to be considerable
secrecy surrounding the details Of the
matter, in California. But that il will
revolutionize the present methods of
shipping fruit there can be little ques-
ton.
"We are expecting several more
consignments treated by the new
method in few days, but we are
quite sure that the results there will
bear out the experiments and the
tests already made. kansas City

the Joy Of strength arose in the SOUL L.
