Placing Apples In Cold Storage
Interference With European Market Makes Advisable Prolonged
Marketing Period

dition between fruit stored promptly
after picking, say not more than two
days later, and otherwise comparable
lots of which the storage is delayed len
days or two weeks. Such delay is esps
cially injurious during a period of warm,
humid weather. The delayed fruit at
withdrawal from storage is ripper, yel-
lower and duller than the correspond
ing Immediate" stored fruit and in
addition develops more serious scald
and decay. The Importance of eliminat-
ing all avoidable delay in storing cannot
be too strongly emphasized.
Thrty-one to thirty-two degrees Fab
renheit is the standard storage tempera-
ture for apples, and this has been found
to be the best for long keeping of the
fruit. Higher temperatures permit the
ripening of the fruit to advance more
rapidly than at 81 to 80 degrees Fahren-
heit, with the result that the fruit at
these temperatures reached the end of
its storage life much sooner In addi-
tion the lower temperature retards most
effectively the development of fungus
decays and skin blemishes. For a short
storage period higher temperatures may
be used without serious trouble, espe-
cially with the better keeping varieties,
but for long keeping, 81 to- 80 degrees
Fahrenheit will best maintain the color,
quality and texture of the fruit.
Apples should be withdrawn from
storage while still firm and in this con-
diton can be held on the market in
satisfactory shape for several days or
weeks. If allowed to become .exces-
sively overripe in storage, however, they
will break down very fast on with
drawal. Apples from 32 degrees Fab
renheit will as a rule hold in better
condition after withdrawal from stor-
age than will comparable lots from
higher temperatures.
There are several other factors af-
fecting the behavior of apples in stor-
age, but those discussed have been
found to be of greatest Importance, and
their proper control will solve large
percentage of present, serious storage
difficulties.

Crude Drug Market Uncertain
Inexperienced Grower Of Drug Plants Not Likely to Succeed
Poor Policy to Hope Profit From the War in This Line
FHE cessation of the harvesting and

FHE cessation of the harvesting and
shipping of crude drugs because
of hostilities in Europe has caused a
s.arp advance in their market price.
AS result many individuals and firms
have written the U. S. Department of
Agriculture inquiring about the posi-
bilities of the American farmer growing
drug plants profitably. The Depart
ment S specialist in charge of drug
plant investigations has written num-
Der of these correspondents that, al
though it is probable that number of
important drug plants could be grown
profitably here if the present high prices
continue, nevertheless there is a posi-
bility of the early restoration of ship
ping facilities, and in any event the in
experienced grower of drug plants would
be more liable to meet with failure than
with success.
Some medicinal plants, says the De-
partment s specialist, may be grown as
easily as ordinary garden crops; others,
however, require the special knowledge
and skill Of practiced gardener. There
are many varying factors in the com
mercial production of drug plants. The
constituents of many of them vary in
quantity according to the time of gath
ering and methods of drying, and a
knowledge of proper methods of harry
esting and curing is absolutely essential
for the production Of drugs Of high
quality.
Special knowledge Needed.
Even if the prospective grower pos
sessed some knowledge of drug plants,
beginning now, he could scarcely hope
to harvest a crop before the late sum-
mer of 1915. In the case of some vari-
eties he might even have to wait until
the end of the second or third year after
planting. Therefore, the farmer who be-
gan at once might not find himself with
a supply of crude drugs on hand until
after prices had returned to their for
mer level.
In any case, the quantity of crude
drugs required by the market is rela-
lively small as compared with fruits,
vegetables, or staple crops. Therefore,
numerous or extensive paintings by the
individuals throughout the country
might easily result in overproduction,
which would cause decline in the mar
ket price independent of the conditions
abroad.
For successful production of drug
plants on commercial scale there must
an available market. Its accessibility
must be considered above all things, by
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1914-10-15

the successful grower. The cost of pro-
duction must be carefully estimated and
to this must be added the cost of pack
ing and shipping to this market. The
packing and shipping expenses might
easily make the enterprise unprofit-
able.
Drug plants to be profitably grown
should yield returns at least equal to
those from other crops which may be
grown on the same land The farmer
must be determine that this is the case.
The fact that much hand work is neces-
sary in the production of most drugs is
liable to make the cost of labor high.
Many Drug Plants Will Not Grow
Here.
Among the inquiries regarding drug
plants addressed to the Department have
been requests regarding plants which
cannot be produced in this country at
all. Others that might be grown here
are also produced in South America and
other localities not involved in the war,
where they can still be produced more
eheaply than here.
There are, nevertheless, certain drug
plants now produced chiefly in Europe
which under suitable conditions may be
grown in parts of the United States.
Among these are the following:
Althea, anise, belladonna, burdoek,
calamus, caraway, coriander, danoelion,
digitalis, elecampane, fennel henbane,
horehound, marjoram, sage, thyme and
valerian.
Seeds of many of these plants may be
obtained from the large seed houses.
Even the aforementioned, however,
need peculiar conditions in order to
thrive, for drug plants very widely in
their relations to soil and climate. Sat
isfactory yields can only be expected
when the requirements Of these plants
are understood and met.
Of course, well l-established companies,
already engaged in similar work, and
with gardeners possessing training and
experience, could undoubtedly meet with
more success in growing drug plants
than the inexperienced individual.
These companies would understand at
the beginning many essential details
regarding soil, climate, and desirable
varieties. They would, however, have
to prepare for unexpected changes in
market values, and remember that the
principal reason certain plants have not
been previously raised here is that un-
der normal conditions they can be more
cheaply grown in Europe.

IN VIEW of the interference with

the European market and the large
prodpction of American Apples this
season, specialists of the Department of
Agriculture call the attention of apple
growers to the advantages of cold star
age for steadying the market at harvest
and for lenghtening the selling period.
Cutting of the market will result, it
is feared, in many thousands of barrels
of good apples rotting in the orchard or
being disposed of at prices which figure
net loss to the grower.
The following are the directions given
by the apple handling specialists of the
Department for using cold storage sue
cessfully in handling apples:
The proper function of cold storage is
to retard the ripening processes of the
fruit and the development of decay or
ganisms and skin blemishes. The first
responsibility for the keeping quality of
his fruit rests with the grower, since it
is his growing and handling methods
that largely determine its vitality, free
dom from disease and general condition
when stored. Cold storage is not rem
edy, or a restorative for poorly devel-
oped, weak, imperfect fruit, but is the
most effective method of preserving the
quality, flavor and appearance possessed
by the fruit at time of picking
Healthy Fruit Necessary.
The first step in successful cold stor-
age of apples has been found to lie in
the practice of such cultural, spraying
and pruning methods as insure produc-
tion of sound, healthy, well colored fruit,
free from disease. Assuming this as the
first requisite, the following factors
have been found to most influence the
keeping quality of the fruit, and fur
nsh best conditions for long storage:
!. Proper maturity at time of pick
ing.
.. Care in all handling operations.
3. Prompt storage after picking.
4. A proper storage temperature.
Maturity Tests.
Careful and extensive Investigations
have demonstrated that fruit picked at
full maturity can be held for a longer
period in storage, and is less affected by
scald and decay than that picked when
somewhat immature. Two important
commercial varieties, Rome Beauty and
Winesap, have been found to be espe-
cially susceptible to seald during stor-
age, if picked prematurcly. There is
no doubt that several thousand dollars
are lost to the industry each year
through the improper picking of these
two varieties alone. The results empha-
size strongly that more care and atten-
ton should be paid to this detail of the
harvesting operations than is usually the
case
BY full maturity, however, is not
meant overmaturity, which may cause
fully as heavy losses as immaturity.
Each grower should study his own fruit
and his own conditions in order to de
termine the proper picking stage. Prob
ably the most reliable single indication
of maturity is the whitening or slight
yelowing of the "ground color y of the
frnit This is the color underlying the
blush or red color and should not be con
fused with the latter.
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1914-10-15
Careful Handling.

Care in all handling operations IS
the second important requisite OF sue
cessful storage. A class of fungi, OF
which the common blue mold is an ex-
ample, are known to be unable to attack
and cause decay of healthy, uninjured
fruit. In spite Of this fact, very seri-
Gus rots both in storage and in transit
to market are the work of fungi of this
type, and the largest contribntory cause
in all cases is bruising or skin breaking
suffered by the fruit in the picking and
packing operations. Microscopic bruises
and breaks in the skin are large enough
to afford entrance to the pores of these
fungi and the necessity for the utmost
care in all operations connected with
the handling of the fruit to avoid brnis-
ing and mechanical injuries is more
urgent than most growers realize.
Prompt Storage.
