FACTS ABOUT FRUIT.

G. Harold Powell. whose work
and character are fully described
in the February American Magazine
is teaching the world how to save
millions of dollars in packing and
shipping fruit. Fruit Is n living
organism with an allotted span of
existence. Harsh handling shortens
its life and renders 1t valueless for
food An extract from the article
follows:
1.-TWO general conclusions have
been reached by Mr.. Powell and
his band of plant specialists with
regard to the keeping qualities of
fruit in storage and in transporta-
ton: first. that rough mechanical
handling increases greatly the liza
biIity OF all fruit to disease, and,
second, that cooling as quickly as
possible after picking prolcngs the
life or fruit by retarding the rip
ening process. which in warm
weather goes on more rapidly off
than on the tree. Simple. In one
state. California. the losses from
decay on oranges alone ran as high
as 81 100000 in single year, and
by pre- cooling this loss has benn
