ETHYLENE, BY-PRODUCT OF

OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES
News and Articles of Interest to Growers of Every
Variety of Crops.

The manufactured gas industry
has recently added to its list a new
form of service having nothing t
do with heat, according to reports
from the Minnesota College Of
Agriculture, says the New Jersey
Pubic utility Information Com
mittee.
Fruit and vegetables can be
stored green and ripened at will
or can be picked before maturity
and ripened naturally by the use of
ethylene, constituent of manc-
featured gas, according to expert
ments made by DR.. r. B. Harvey
of the Minnesota College of Agri-
culture, described in the Scientific
American.
Ethylene has been made from
manufactured gas and used as an
anesthetic, but its application to
fruit and vegetables to increase
their respiratory rate and so in
duce a natural ripening process is
recent development.
Practically all important fruits
and vegetables of the tropical and
temperate zones have been success
fully treated, says DR.. Harvey, who
foresees shipments of delicate
tropical Injuries, such as the man
go, papaya, custard-apple and
others in a green state, to be per
fectly ripened upon their arrival
here.
The only equipment needed, says
DR.. Harvey, are cylinders of ethy-
lene and "a reasonably gas-tight
chamber in which a temperature
of $50 degrees is maintained.
Ethylene is permitted to flow into
the chamber. in which the fruit is
put, at a rate determined by ex-
pertinent. Immature tomatoes only
one inch in diameter have been
perfectly ripened in a week by the
new process and large green
tomatoes in "a to GO hours, he re-
ports, while celery has been
blanched in 60 hours and the
fragile Japanese persimmon has
been ripened in so hours.
