SYDNEY, Sept. 1.-The value OF New
South Wales for orange growing all the
year round was demonstrated by recent
experiments with the late Valencia
oranges on the Yanco experiment farm
Of the Agricultural Department These
oranges, fit for the market early In
October, 1918, were left on the trees
until the end OF February, 1913, and
were then stored rrtil June is before
they were made available for consump-
ton. They were then found to be In
perfect condition.
The specimens were stored by wrap

lined boxes. Experiments IN Washing
ton navel oranges and lemons were also
made at Yanco, these being conducted
fortnightly. commencing June IA and
ending on August 7, 1918. The fruit
for the greater part was wrapped and
packed in paper lined boxes and also
In sand Some OF II, however was
