The process followed in the preserv.
ing OF the orange juice requires little
expense. and the pure juice and ex
tracts can be had at a cost little in
advance of the artificial connections
now oxered TO the trade.
Fellowships established at the uni

Robert Kennedy Duncan called for
the expenditure of almost 100000 IN
industrial research, and among these
a sum of $1,000 year for two years
has been donated pending the investi-
cation OF the means of utilizing or

In addition to the subscription Of S..

application of the experiments.
Fruit Growers Benefited.
Realizing the immense advantages
to Pittsburg manufacturers in having
the problems worked out in the labo-
ratories. the Pittsburg Industrial De-
velopment commission and the re-
search department of the University
of Pittsburg have co-operated In the
enterprise. which means an immeas.
urable benefit to the commercial
world. The advantages of the re-
search will accrue not only to the
fruit growers Of Florida and Cali
fOrnia and other parts of the world,
but to manufacturers of oils, flavor.
ing extracts. confectionery. medical
etc.
One Of the results of the invest.
cation likely will be the satisfactory
preservation Of pure orange juice In
a manner not conflicting with the
state and Federal pure food and drug
acts. The summer girl, who always
awaits a new beverage. will hall with
delight and enthusiastic patronage an
orange drink offered with sciences
seal Of rich favor and genuine purity.
II seems now that In the Pittsburg

been discovered.
A dozen oranges OF average size will
produce a quart OF juice. Selling this

oranges, aside from the revenue 10 be
derived from the extraction of the
various oils, aldehydes and terpcnses
in the rinds and the seeds.
Loss Has Been Heavy.
The orange Gull as all shippers
and fruit dealers well know, is not
fruit which has shown decay. The
Gull may be of inferior size or show

spects be just as good for commercial
purposes as the "A No T. quality At
present the difference between The
