A summary of the principal points
Of the investigation of the causes of
decay in oranges in shipment in 1906,
by the Bureau of Plant Industry, U.
s. Department of Agriculture.
The loss from decay in oranges in
1905 amounted to 81 100000 or more
The decay is caused by common
mold which usually enters the fruit
through an abrasion in the skin or
else enters an orange that has had it's
resisting power weakened in some
other manner. More than half the
decay in the eastern markets can be
readily traced to mechanical injuries
in the skin of the fruit Moist, warm
air provides ideal conditions for the
growth of the decay. Cold air or dry
air may prevent the termination of
the mold spores and retard the growth
of the disease if it has already start
ed. 1t is unusual for decay to appear
in clean, sound orange even under
adverse conditions.
The investigation in 1906 has cover
ed the following field:
L. The mechanical injury in picking
the fruit and the damage done by
handling it in packing house.
2 The decay in sound unbrushed
brushed and washed fruit, and in
fruit all of which has been injured
10y the clippers in picking, by stems
puncturing other oranges Or by abra-
sions of other kinds.
g. The decay in sound unbrushed
brushed and washed fruit in the
coast, mid-valley, and upper San Ber-
nardino valley regions.
4. The decay in New York in sound
unbrushed, brushed, washed, and in
mechanically injured fruit shipped
under ventilation, under icing, and
under preceding In the last method
the fruit is cooled to 35 to- 40 degrees
Fahr. in a cold-storage warehouse be-
fore shipping, and is then forwarded
under icing.
5. The decay in New York in sound
unbrushed, brushed, washed and me-
chanically injured fruit delayed from
one to seven days after packing in the
packing house.
6. The distribution of decay in the
car in unbrushed, brushed, washed,
and in imperfect fruit when shipped
to New York
Clipper Cutting-The average in
jury from cutting the orange with the
the tree has been about five to eight

brushed, sound fruit least, and the
mechanically injured fruit most, as
may be seen from the following data
taken from fruit shipped, under icing,
from the same house in April:
Time Of delay before shipping one
day, brushed, GO per cent, washed,
81 per cent, injured, 80 per cent, total
6.3 per cent; time of delay before
shipping three days, brushed, 20 per
cent, washed, 3.3 per cent, injured,
4.3 per cent, total 90 per cent; time
of delay before shipping five days,
brushed, 2.5 per cent, washed, 10 per
cent, injured, 1910 per cent, total $50
per cent; time of delay before shipp-
ing seven days brushed, 5.4 per cent,
washed, 10 per cent, injured, 1910
per cent, total 31.4 per cent.
In an iced car the decay is more
serious in the fruit in the top tier of
boxes, as the fruit cools more slowly
than the oranges in the bottom tier
of boxes. Sound brushed or unbrush-
ed oranges appear to carry nearly
equally we'll on both tiers. There
may be two to four times as much
decay in the top tier in washed fruit,
and still greater difference in or
anges that are mechanically injured
In preceded fruit the temperature
Of the car is more uniform from the
top to the bottom There is little
difference in decay in the fruit in the
two tiers of boxes. There is usually
though not always, a little more decay
in the fruit in the top tier of boxes
in cars shipped under ventilation as
the air is warmer on the average in
the top of the car.
These results, as far as they go,
appear to indicate that the fundamen-
tai requirements for the successful
shipment of the orange are that the
fruit should be delivered to- the pack
ing house free from scale and free
from mechanical injury, it should be
handled in a packing house with
enough care to prevent mechanical
injury, and it should be shipped
quickly after picking at the coolest
practicable temperature. AS condi-
tions vary from these fundamentals
the probability of loss from decay in
creases.

per cent decay.
The u1brushed fruit from the coast
to the upper San Bernardino valley
has averaged from l to 2 per cent
decay in all places; the brushed fruit
from 80 to 4.5 per cent, and the
washed fruit from II to- 1875 per cent
Similar trea tmen't in handling has pro-
duced similar results in all sections.
Shipping Tests Ventilation When
shipped quickly after packing under
ventilation, to- New York the decay in
twenty cars of fruit forwarded from
the last of February to the middle Of
April was as follows:
Unbrushed fruit apparently free
from mechanical injuries, 1.5 per
cent; brushed fruit apparently free
from mechanical injuries, 1.5 per cent;
washed fruit apparently free from
mechanical injuries, 4.5 per cent;
mechanically injured, 40 per cent.
Icing. When shipped quickly after
packing under icing ITO New York (for-
warded from March to May) the de-
cay in about 35 cars of fruit has been
as follows:
Unbrushed,s apparently free from
mechanical injuries, Oh per cent;
brushed, apparently free from me-
chanical injuries, 0.5 per cent; wash
ed, apparently free from mechanical
injuries,' ~ perrt cent; mechanically
injured, 60 per cent.
Precooling-W When shipped quickly
after packing at a temperature of 30
to 40 degrees Fahr and iced regularly
in transit the oranges ,of all grades
have arrived in New York practically
sound The decay in the imperfect
and washed fruit has only been re-
tarded under this method of shipment.
The mold spores have not been killed.
The fruit that would have rotted un-
der ventilation or under icing is like
ly to decay as soon as it warns up.
There is a double advantage in hav-
ing clean, sound, unwashed fruit to
ship. First, it carries we'll under all
systems of shipping, and second, it is
more likely to- remain sound ON arriv-
al in the distant market.
Delayed Shipments brush
ed, washed and mechanically injured
fruit has been held in the packing
house, one, three, five and seven days
after packing, and then shipped under
icing to New York, the decay in all
of the grades in ten cars was as fol
lows:
Shipped the day of packing, 20 per
cent; shipped three days after pack
ing, so per cent; shipped five days
after packing, 1913 per cent; shipped
seven days after packing, Ito per
cent.

per cent in 1906. In 1905 it aged
Is to 20 per cent. The injury seems to-
be reduced to a minimum when the
picking is done by trained gangs Of
men under the control of the packing
house, or when the packing house en-
ploys an inspector to guard the differ
ent growers against this type of in
jury. The injury appears to he
more common when the fruit is pick
ed by the box and when the pickers
are not under careful supervision.
The oranges delivered to a packing
house by different growers may vary
from 1 to 40 per cent in the amount
of clipper injury and similar varia-
ton is common in the fruit picked by
different men in the same grove. In
several of the largest interests lin
California this type of injury - has
averaged not over per cent in 1906.
Stem Puncturing.-The average in
jury from stem puncturing has prob
ably not been greatly reduced H'hAeo6.
This type of injury is the result of
leaving the stem of the orange too
long. 1t has averaged not over 2 to
3 per cent in large interests which
have handled the fruit with great
care, but it often runs as high as 20
to 80 per cent. There is usually from
2 to times as much stem puncturing
in washed as in dry brushed fruit.
Stem puncturing is caused most COM
monty in the grove in dropping the
fruit into the picking bag, and in
pouring it into the boxes. In the
packing house it is increased by steep
gravity runs, by the oranges drop
ping into the bins, by washing the
fruit and by other forms of rough
handling It is most severe in pack
ing houses with overhead, compli-
Gated machinery, and in all houses in
which the machinery is run at a high
rate of speed. There are other COM
mon forms of mechanical injury such
as gravel punctures in the oranges in
the bottom Of the picking boxes, finger
nail cuts and punctures and abrasiOns
caused 10y incidental disorders in the
packing house machinery
Decay in Unbrushed, Brushed,
Washed and Imperfect Fruit.-An
average of large number of tests
made in all parts of the orange dis
trict with oranges held two weeks in
warm, moist, rooms, or under the
most favorable conditions for decay,
gives the following approximate re-
suits:
Unbrushed fruit apparently free
from mechanical injuries, 15 per cent
decay; brushed fruit apparently free
from mechanical injuries, 40 per cent
decay; washed fruit apparently free
from mechanical injuries, 1870 per
cent decay; mechanically injured fruit

A SEASoNABLE WARNING.

In these days when the spirit Of a
greater Oregon is in the air the state
can i'll afford to assume the handicap Of
woman suffrage Most people think
that there Is no danger Of it passing,
but when il Is considered that six years
ago it only failed by scant 2000 votes
in the entire state, and that at that
time the woman sufTragists had no
money, while today they have a cam
paicn fund Of more than $4,000, and
have twelve speakers imported from
other states campaigning through Ore
gon, the danger will become apparent
So seriou, does the danger appear to
the business men of Portland that more
than 300 of them recently published a
protest against woman suffrage over
their own signatures The list as pub
lished contained the name of practically
every commercial interest manufactur.
ing and industrial, contained in the
State of Oregon. The men who signed
this protest represent all walks of life
and all political parties. They are not
politicians in any sense of the word.
They are certainly typical of the brains
of the state and protest from them is
certainly worth q careful consideration
of every citizen. Following is the
language of the protest as published:
I'VE, the undersigned, believe that it
would be injurious to the general well
fare and development of Oregon and
therefore unwise to adopt woman suff-
rage at this time. We believe further
large majority of the women of the
state do not want it. We take this
means of recording our opposition to the
proposed amendment to be voted upon
June 4, 1906.
