DESCRIBE USE
ETHYLENE GAS
Does Not Have Effect Of
Ripening Immature
Citrus Fruits

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 26.
The process of coloring citrus
fruit by means of exposure to ethy-
lene gas has been extended to a
number of other fruits and vege-
tables with varying success, accord
ing to investigators in the bureau Oh
chemistry and soils and the bureau
of plant industry CT the United
States department of agriculture.
Although the use of ethylene gas
in coloring oranges is commonly de-
scribed in the Grange business as the
"ethylene ripening process" the de-
department Of agriculture workers
who developed the method, after It's
discoverer, DR.. F. E. Denny, had Sc
cured the public service patent COW
ering it, have preferred not to use
the term "ripening'' in describing
the effects produced. That term, it
is pointed out. is applied in many
WAYS to describe natural processes,
and may convey the idea OF lncreas-
ing the food supply in a fruit or
vegetable, that is, increasing the
starch or sugar content.
Their experiments lead them TO
think that the changes produced by
ethylene gas are very similar TO
those which take place naturally
after the fruit or vegetable has been
harvested and is stored under prop
er conditions. There is a decided
difference, however, in the time re-
CURED for the change.
If an orange is picked when inn
mature, end before the fruit has
stored sufficient sugar, ethylene gas
will not add to the sugar or reduce
the acid. 1t does promote a color
inc Of the rind that makes other
wise desirable fruit more attractive
to the eye.
In the case Of pears the full
sweetness Of the fruit may not have
developed when the time for har-
vest comes. Some of the food ma
terial is in the form of starch, which
changes to sugar in the course OF
storage. Ethylene gas causes the
change to take place more rapidly.
A desirable effect has been observed
in treatment of Japanese persim-
mons. But in none of these cases,
the chemists emphasize, does ethy-
lene cause a half-grown immature
fruit to be made palatable. The ex-
perimenters have also had some sue
cess with green-colored apricots
which grew on the inside branches
of trees and failed to color for lack
Of sunlight.
The department has had enthuS-
astic reports on treating green to-
matoes to bring out color, but ex-
periments by scientists in the de-
partment indicate that immature
fruits will benefit but little, if any.
Their results with other fruits and
vegetables have been inconclusive,
and they are unwilling to forecast
success until they have adequate
evidence.
For citrus fruits the method is
widely used, and inquiries have
come from nearly every citrus
growing country. The method is
well established in the citrus states
Of this country.

THE ALASKA JUNEAU FOR OCTOBER

october was the Alaska Juneau's banner month It again made high record in gross recoveries and operating profits The latter were S173O00 against $l375OO in September and $14l 900 in August. The last named was the previous high record perform ance The ore handled in October was about 300 tons less than in September but the value per ton showed an increase from $o959O to $10246-an ad- vance of 656 cents. The total tonnage milled in october was 329,79O, a little than 10,638 tons @ day. The net profit for last month was $13200o, after charging off interest and $3350O expended in developing the Ebner mine and properties in the Taku district the Porcupne country back of Haines and other properties.
 This is just another demonstration that the Alaska Juneau is a great mine The performances cf the last four months make it apparent that the profit over and above interest and depreciation and expenditures for development for the year will be well over a million dollars compared with $751;, coo last year
 Again this suggests that notwithstanding the great value of Juneaus other assets in hand and in prospect the Alaska Juneau is the main pillar in her foundation and prosperity.

Praise for Gov. Parks.
(Nome Nugget.)

The brief telegram from Washington published last Saturday stating that President Hoover had nominated George A. Parks Governor of Alaska, and another published Wednesday of his confirma- tion by the Senate, was joyful news and every true Alaskan has reason to rejoice that an Alaskan for Alaska" has been reappointeds Governor of this great and wonderful Territory.
 We are sincere when say that never before has Alaska had such wonderful Governor, man who is so thoroughly familiar with all parts and Divisions of the Territory It is safe to say that he has walked over and flew over more of Aaskas enormous areas than all her other Governors con- bined. Lnkened unto President Hoover he is an engineer by profession, and his vast experience of observation enables him to place before the people of the Nation the tremendous possibilities and po- tential wealth of the Territory which is awaiting opportunities for capital to become interested and unlock the treasures, many of which are still lying dormant
 It is true that some opposition was carried on against the reappontment of Gov Parks but it came principally from selfish politicians who wished to get control of the Territorial plums and the fight was made on him by men who have tried for years to dictate to Alaska Governors but who have failed generally
 No specific charge of consequence either as to his personal character official conduct coud he brought up The only thing that can be said against hlm IS that he has not permitted others to dom mate him. This, in itself probably was one of the best recommendations that could have been nre sented to President Hoover

 It is plain that the enforcers have long way to go if there is to be real Prohibition in the U. s. A. It will be reached by skipping hips or peeping in keyholes-or by shooting taxi driv- CTS When single bootlegging concern tain loss of millions and not be temporarily put out of business it proves that there is such a demand for liquor and so much capital and organ ized effort used to supply the demand that methods employed throughout the country simply fill jails and cause expense and annoyance.

 John and Peggy thought he was just announcing to himself the fact that they had arrived, but the Lit tie Black Clock said he was so fond of speed and doing everything in hurry and saving time every where that he said Guests" just as any one else would have said Hello, Guests" or addressed them by their names.
 Glad you've been looking round a bit," he said. He was fine looking man, but he looked as though he couldn't keep still very long.

 They nodded quickly. They felt they shouldn't spend too much time in speaking.
