KEEPING QUALITY OF FRUIT Value of Careful Handling and Quick Shipment and Cooling Prof. A. V. Stubenrauch, of the Department of Agriculurte, has issued a bulletin upon the keeping quality of fruit, which question is one of vital interest to California growers who are in the main widely removed from market, Professor Steubenrauch has favored this office with a copy of his report, from which the following is taken: During the past seven years the Bureau of Plant Industry of the United States Department of Agriculture has conducted investigations to determine the factors that govern the successful shipment and storage of fruits. There have been included in these investigations apples, pears, peaches, plums, oranges, grapes and small fruits. It has been shown that the different kinds of molds which cause the most common forms of decay in these fruits while in transit and in storage are unable to penetrate the sound, normal skin of the fruit. These molds generally gain entrance through mechanical abrasions produced in the preparation of the fruit for market. It is not unusual to find 10 per cent of apples showing cuts or abrasions in the skin. Small fruits are more commonly injured, while oranges frequently show from 10 to 50 per cent of the fruit with the skin cut by the clippers in severing it from the trees or by rough handling of the fruit in the packing houses. It has been demonstrated with a number of shares in the Riverside-Highland company. This stock entitles miners' inches of water thirty-acre grove. The price applied the water passed land of the defendant. Interference, the plaintiff in the Superior Court had a judgment in his favor. The Supreme Court said plaintiff, by the right of head run forty inches four month during the irrigation instead of taking but so regular intervals three year. Although the evidence show he had any title line which ran through the defendant, the court his prescriptive right was safe from any unfriendly part of the defendant. The decision apparently that the courts will provide irrigation water, where they joyed an uninterrupted term of years, irrespective of title to pipe vesting.

Each chair sub-committee is also through mechanical abrasions produced in the preparation of the fruit for market. It is not unusual to find 10 per cent of apples showing cuts or abrasions in the skin. Small fruits are more commonly injured, while oranges frequently show from 10 to 50 per cent of the fruit with the skin cut by the clippers in severing it from the trees or by rough handling of the fruit in the packing houses. It has been demonstrated that by careful handling in the picking and packing of oranges under commercial conditions the injuries can be overcome and the decay can be almost wholly eliminated. Investigations With Table Grapes. During the past two years the storage investigations have been extended to the table-grape industry of California. The investigations were started with two objects in view: A study of the factors which may affect the keeping quality of the grape in transit and in storage on the one hand and, on the other, the possibility of extending the marketing season of California grapes by cold or common storage with a view to the possible replacing with the California product of the $1,500,000 annual importation of fresh Spanish grapes. The preliminary investigations have shown that most of the injuries to grapes occur in handling at the point where the berry joins the stem—the pedicel. Other forms of injury are broken and cracked berries, produced by rough handling or excessive squeezing in packing. The pedicel breaks are perhaps the most difficult to control, especially in tender varieties. The simple bending of a berry to one side may cause a break at the pedicel frequently so slight as to be nearly invisible but sufficient to allow the entrance of the mold. These broken berries under proper conditions of heat and moisture will show mold in a few days. After the mold has started it will continue to develop and spread in the ordinary grape package even at a temperature near the freezing point. Cold Storage Experiments. A few examples will suffice to show how great an influence careful handling and packing may exert on committees of the Californians revision committee are members, individually address pare as early as possible in which there shall be necessity for the tariff of the products of these committees dealing with whether the existing taxation of California products should be increased.

Cold Storage Experiments. A few examples will suffice to show how great an influence careful handling and packing may exert on the keeping qualities of table grapes. Sixteen of the leading varieties of table grapes, some of which are grown commercially in California, were used in cold storage experiments. All of the grapes were handled with the greatest possible care, and were packed in different ways, after which the fruit was held in cold storage. The varieties studied are the Flame Tokay, Museat, Thompson Seedless, Ferrara, Emperor, Verdal, Black Prince, Malaga, Cornichon, Huasco, Bowood, Pizzutella (Lady Finger), Perruno, Chasse las de Fontainebleau, Zabalkanski and Almeria. IMPORTANT RULING. An important opinion under the proscriptive rights of a water user, recently handed down by the Supreme Court, has lately been received in Los Angeles by Deputy Clerk R. L. Dunlap. The court affirms the judgment of the lower tribunal in the irrigation case of A. P. Collins against C. R. Gray, which was in favor of the plaintiff. Collins purchased a ranch in Riverside county, together WRIGHT A BIT WILL A momentous question circles since the result of a fury is settled is "What will Diego county delegation support a candidate for senator L.

There is also talk that in the event Captain Sehon does not push his candidacy among the delegates chosen that an effort will be made to get together on some other candidate, perhaps Senator Wright, Friends of the Senator believe that it is not im probable that he could win the nomination with the solid backing of San Diego county. The conference he will call prior to the convention will develop a climax to the local situation one way or the other.—San Diego Union. Year Book of 1907 Following the custom of the Department of Agriculture, James Wilson, the secretary, has issued and is distributing a year book for 1907. It is a book of 800 pages and full of matter interesting and instructive to the farmer. It is not materially different from the thirteen which have preceded it. But it seems to us it is rather fuller of practical information. Of course the first part of the book, 138 pages, is given up to the annual report of the secretary, in which he reviews the work of the past year, and refers to the hopes for the coming year. The remainder of the book is made up of 27 different papers, covering a wide variety of subjects, all prepared by officers and special investigators employed by the department.
