FOR CITRUS FRUIT
MAKES ICING UNNECESSARY

After the grower of citrus fruits has
successfully combated adverse wealth
er conditions, blights, and pests, and
finally has the ripened fruit ready for
market, he still has to face the prob
lem of delivering that fruit to market
before it spoils. Under average con-
ditions, this means that the time
elapsed from the tree to the consumer
should be about Is days, even when
the fruit is preceded and shipped in
refrigerator cars. Now, however, this
condition may be changed if a new
chemical treatment fulfills the claims
that are made for it. BY this method
a chemical emulsion in paraffin is
brushed over the fruit as it passes to
the packing bins. The chemicals kill
all germs and agencies of decay, and
then evaporate without leaving taste
or odor, while the parafin seals the
fruit alright and prevents whitening
and evaporation. 1t is claimed that
fruit so treated has stood for three
and when cut, was found to
be as firm and juicy as when picked.

 While 8 group of railroaders and oilmen hurried out of the local train bringing them from Robinson, H., that noon, Kate waited. Then she followed her black bag which the con- ductor swung up the steps and found herself seat in the coach.
 The train crawled On.
