of the new syrup in old ways and for
taking advantage of its special flavor
in novel dishes.
The department chemists have al
ready produced over ten gallons OF
this strip in their laboratories, using
summer and other forms of apples.
The success of the experiments has
greatly interested some of the apple
growers, and during October a large
cider mill in the Hood River Valley,
Oregon, will, in cooperation with the
government chemists, endeavor to
produce 1000 gallons on CONNER
cial scale and give the new product
thorough market test by making
it accessible through retailers in
limited field. The interest of apple
growers in the product arises from
the fact that the new apple cider
strip promises to give them a COM
mercial outlet for vast quantities of
windfall and other apples for which
they hitherto could find no market
either in Punishable raw cider or in
vinegar. Cider production, it seems,
comes largely at one season Of the
year during which the market is more
or less flooded with this perishable
product. The bulk and perishability
OF the raw cider, moreover, the cider
makers state, often make it unprofit-
able for them to ship the raw cider
of one district long distances to
nonapple-growing region. The mar
ket for cider, therefore, has been
largely restricted in many cases to

reason that boiling cider at once in
terferes with its delicate flavor.
With the cider mill able to make a
palatable, bookkeeping table strip
out of its apple juice, growers, it is
| believed, will be able to use all excess
juice for bottled or canned apple
strip. The new strip. the specialists
find, will keep indefinitely, so that
the cider makers can market it grad
ually throughout the year.
The process for making the sirup
calls for the addition to cider mill
of filter press and open kettles or
some other concentrating apparatus.
! The process is described as follows:
The raw cider is treated with pure
milk Of lime until nearly, but not
quite. all of the natural malic acids
are neutralized. The cider is then
heated to boiling and filtered through
filter press, an essential feature of
the process. The resultant liquid is
then evaporated either in continuous
evaporators or open kettles, just as
ordinary cane or sorgum strip is
treated. 1t then is cooled and allowed
to stand fer a short time, which
causes the lime and acids to form
small crystals of calcium malate.
The strip is then re-filtered through
the filter press, which removes the
crystals Of calcium malate and leaves
slrup with practically the same
basic composition as ordinary cane
strip. Its flavor, however, and ap-
