APPLE GROWERS ADVISED
TO USE COLD STORAGE.
Dept. of Agriculture Gives Method for
Keeping Apples and PrOlOnging
Marketing Period.

Washington, D. Gin view of the
interference with the European mar
ket and the large production of Amer
lean apples this season, specialists Of
the Department of Agriculture call at
tention of apple growers to the adj
vantages of cold storage for steadying
the market at harvest and for length
ening the selling period.
Cutting of the market will result,
it is feared, in many thousands of bar
rels of good apples rotting in the or
chard or being disposed of at prices
which figure a net loss to the grower.
The following are the directions
gwen by the apple handling specialists
Of the Department for using cold stor-
age successfully in handling apples:
The proper function of cold stor-
age is to retard the ripening processes
of the fruit and the development of
decay organisms and skin blemishes.
The first responsibility for the keep
ing quality of this fruit rests with the
grower since it is his growing and
handling methods that largely deter
ME its vitality, freedom from disease,
and general condition when stored.
Cold storage is not a remedy, or a re-
storative for poorly developed, weak,
imperfect fruit, but is the most effec-
tive method of preserving the quality.
favor and appearance possessed by the
fruit at time of picking.
The first step in successful cold
storage of apples has been found to
lie in the practice of such cultural,
spraying and pruning methods as in

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 furnish best condi-
for long storage:
Proper maturity at time of pick
2. Care in all handling operations.
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
oy scald and decay than that picked
when somewhat immature. Two i'm
commercial varieties, Rome
and Winesap, have been found

President Wilson is Right.

President Wilson is right in taking
the position that this is not the proper
time to agitate the question as to
whether or not this country is prepared
for war. The question of paramount
Importance now is that of keeping al
together out of the present conflict, If
it can bedone honorably, and the discus
sion of our preparedness for war IS
calculated to make strict neutrality
more difficult. If the administration
continues its present policy in dealing
with belligerents, this country will be
the first to recover from the effects of
the war and the one that will reap the
fullest measure Of prosperity after
everything is restored to normal
status.
Let's prepare to reap and enjoy the
fruits of peace at this time rather
than prepare for war.

Neutral to the Core.

When President Wilson and his cabi-
net declared that this country must be
neutral with respect to the European
war they meant just what they said.
Every indication of partiality for this
or that nation is promptly suppressed.
The latest evidence of enforced neu-
trality is the order issued by Secretary
Daniels forbidding the singing of Tip
perary.', the British marching song
by men wearing the United States uni
form. He takes the position that this
martial song should not be played or
sung by American sailors any more
than the s'Marseillaise" or "Wacht Am
Rhein" should be sung.
