STORAGE OF APPLES
FAVOURABLE RESEARCH Now that tiie export for apples is cut off, storage of tire fruit on the orchard for as long as possible becomes very important. Investigating this method of keeping fruit on Nelson orchards, research workers have brought to light information which should do away with much apple wastage.
Their research leads them to believe that, with proper safeguards, no difficulty should be experienced in storing in suitable sheds such varieties as Stunner, Dougherty, Statesman, Ballarat and Tasma for periods up to tho end of June, and, in certain eases, the end of July. The work lias been carried out by Mr. L. W. Tiller, of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, and Mr. E. Chittenden, of the Cawthron Institute. They are continuing their joint investigations this fruit season.
