GAN STORE GRAND
VALLEY APPLES
FOR z MONTHS
W. B. Gross Finds Winesaps in
Good Condition After Year in
Boston Storage House.

That Grand valley apples may be
fept in storage for full year has
been demonstrated by an experiment.
accidentally carried out by W. b.
Cross. owner of the famous Cross
orchards west of town. says the Cliff
ton Success.
Last year Mr.. Cross put a car OF
Winesaps in cold storage in Boston.
He took the most of them out this
last spring, and they netted him 5 %
for fancy. When he sold the apples,
however. he was short two boxes, and
when he visited Boston a few weeks
ago. he received bill for storage ou
two boxes, which had been hidden
away an the big ice plant. The ap-
pies were then taken out, I3 months
after they had been placed in stor-
age. ond found to be in perfect con-
ditior. Mr.. Cross brought a few OF
:he apples back with him, and they
were still sound, after having been
out of storage for several weeks.
This shows" said Mr.. Cross, that
we can successfully store our apples
tor yeal or thirteen months. IL we
set bad year in apples, we can mold
or fruit for year nd unloci
them. 5ust before the rev crop IS
placed on the market, at. gCSd
Prize
There is only one trouble with the
valley. and that is the marketing OF
our fruit. If we can handle that end
of the fruit business successfully,
there is no need to be afraid of the
future. | believe the price of land
has reached the bottom in the valley
now. and we will soon begin to see
the upward trend. From now on we
viii make substantial growth, and
eventually reach the same level which
was maintained fev years ago. Once
our marketing problems are solved
the Iest will be easy.

1t is said that the innovation is
put in force to facilitate and better
the postal service during the holiday

the stamps and Walter Jones says he
would rather take a licking himself
than lick all the stamps he sells in a

moisten the stamps and this will be
done by means Of the usual glass
