Timely Hints About Cold Storage.

WA Taylor, Pomologist, u. S. Dept of
Agriculture.
Fruit growers DESTROYS of preserving ap-
pies by cold storage for exhibition purposes
will find temperature of 81 degrees will
probably be most satisfactory with pos
sible range of 80 to 80 degrees of good re-
suits. If the house is SO managed that there
is no danger of a drop below 80 degrees, this
temperature would be preferable to 81 de
grees, but there would be some risk in spec-
fyng the lower temperature. In higher
temperature, the ripening progresses more
rapidly in the storage house, there is more
danger from scald, and the fruit will de-
teriorate more rapidly on removal.
We have used paraffine, parchment, tissue
and imprinted newspaper in the storage
work and have not observed distinct ST.
periority of any one over the other.
double wrapper is distinctly advantageous
and a combination with an absorbent paper,
like imprinted newspaper, next to the fruit,
and an impervious paper, like paraffine, out
side, would probably be more efficient.
A box of about so pounds capacity pre-
sents several advantages over barrel Tor
storing exhibition fruit. 1t is packed more
easily, is handled more carefully in transit,
and is more convenient in the storage house
The contents in box cool more quickly
than that of barrel, which is distinct ad-
vantage.
Where variety collections are for exhibits,
we have found it advisable to pack all the
varieties to be withdrawn at one time IN
the same package rather than to pack each
variety in a separate package. from which
several successive Withdrawals are to be
made box with sides, top and bottom o.
not less than 3s Inch material and preferably
H-inch is advantageous for exhibition stock
as it prevents the bruising of the fruit y
tight box is preferable for long keeping
kinds Summer varieties that ripen quickly
can be placed with advantage in ventilated

Horticultural Notes
BY r. Walden

sioners his Il an appointment by Cover
nor Mcbride that will meet with favor by
the fruit growers of Washington Mr..
Wright is practical fruit grower and is
the president of the Yakima Fruit Growers
Union. The fruit exhibit at the State Fair
is one of the most important. What would
state fair i'll Washington be without
large and fine display of fruits? Then fruit
growing is one of the important industries
of the state and is becoming more SO from
year to year. 1t is a very proper thing
therefore, that this department should be
represented by a practical fruit grower.
There is no one better qualified to fill this
important position than w. l.. Wright He
is most excellent man and is an honor to
the position to which he has been appointed.
While speaking of the State Fair it seems
not out of place to say that the fast horse
business holds a position entirely out of
its proportion to its value to the industries
of Washington. Why should the fast
horses receive the largest share Of the at
tentiOn of the commissioners and carry off
the lions share of the premiums? The
excuse that is given for this state of things
is that the fast horses draw the crowds and
swell the gate receipts, thus enabling the
fair managers to meet expenses. But that
is a delusion. One of the officials of the
fair some two or three years ago informed
the writer that it took all the gate receipts
to paw the premiums on the fast horses and
all other expenses had to be met by the state
appropriation and funds raised by conces-
ions. Then so far as the money side of the
question is concerned, if the fast horses
were ruled out entirely and one half of the
gate receipts were lost, still the fair would
come out ahead several thousand dollars.
The fact is that the extra gate receipts
secured by the horse races and kindred
sports are all consumed and several thous-
and dollars more to encourage a business
that is no benefit to the state financially,
morally or in any sense whatever.
