THE RoTTINe OF APPLES.
Six Principal Kinds Of Disease Which
Attack the Fruit.

There are six principal kinds Of
rots shat attack apples and perhaps
there are minor ones. These six are
the bitter rot. black rot. blue mold.
brown rot, pink rot and one that has
no English name but is known only
by its scientific name, Alternaria.
Blue mold seems 10 be able to grow
at lower temperature than any OF
the other molds Some apples were
inoculated with the spores of all these
molds and rots and placed in cold
storage at just below freezing. 81 de
grees. At the end of nine weeks the
blue mold had spread in all the APP
pies in which It had been pricked.
while none OF the other molds had de
veloped at all
This is interesting. as showing what
we may expect from fruit kept in cold
storage. Its keeping depends largely
on whether or not the blue mold has
obtained a foothold on the fruit.
On the other hand when the apples
that had been inoculated with the
other rots were taken into a living
room where the temperature was at
20 degrees a normal temperature for
human beings. all the different molds
and rots developed with great rapidity.
In two weeks all of the fruits were
half or wholly rotten.
The lesson to be drawn from this.
says Farmers Review. is that the
grower OF apples must know some
thing about the different kinds OF rot
so that he can tell when his fruit is
affected. Such affected fruit must be
dealt with according TO it's exposure.
II it has become affected with blue
mold germs it must be put to some
immediate use rather than be put into
cold storage
Molds and rots are produced by
vegetable organisms that are like
plants in that some will grow in one
temperature and some i'm another.
However, all of the molds and rots
that affect apples will grow at above
40 degrees. Therefore i'm the ordinary
cellar IL is impossible 20 keep fruit
that has been exposed 10 any Of these
rots
The germs OF the various diseases
are not killed 10y low temperature;
they are only reduced to a quiescent
state Therefore when apples that
have become inoculated by the forms
other than blue mold come out OF the
storage house they begin 20 develop
these rots very rapidly. and tho peo-

fruit rot more quickly than It other

BOXES VS.. BARRELS FOR APPLES.

piled that whether boxes or barrels
were used depended upon the demand
of the particular market He says:
During the past few years the box
