TO MAKE SYRUP FROM
WEST VIRGINIA APPLES

Washington, Oct 19.-Following
extensive experiments begun last
spring, the head of the fruit and vege-
table utilization laboratory of the
Department of Agriculture has APP
piled for public service patent COW
ering the making of new form of
table syrup from apple juice. This
patent will make the discovery, which
the specialists believe will be of great
value to all apple growers as means
of utilizing their culs and excess APP
pies, common property of any cider
mill in the United States which wish
es to manufacture and sell apple cider
fsirup.
The new syrup, one gallon of which
is made from seven gallons of ordi-
nary cider, is a clear ruby or amber
colored syrup and maple syrup.
Properly sterilized and put in sealed
tins or bottles, it will keep indefinite
ly, and when opened will keep under
household conditions as we'll as 9TH
er syrups. 1t has distinct fruity a.
roma and special flavor of its own,
which is described as being practical
ly the same as the taste of the syr-
up substance which exudes from a
baked apple.
The syrup can be used like maple
or other sirups for griddle cakes, Ger
calls, household cookery, and as flaw
oring in deserts. The government
cooking experts are at present expert
menting with it in cookery and ex-
pect shortly to issue recipes for use
Of the new syrup in old ways and
