Cable Association.] LONDON, July 7„ Professor Franklin Kidd, a member of the Cambridge Low Temperature Research Committee, who, with Doctor West and Dr. M. N. Kidd, investi. gated Australian apples and pears transportation troubles, suggested (hat the ideal procedure would be to ship unripe fruit, using low temperatures during transport without freezing, and subsequently allowing fruit to ripen at temperatures of sixty to seventy degrees Fahrenheit. He could clearly foresee th c time when conditioning in warehouses and stores, equipped with means of controlling temperature, would be uni. versally employed for scientifically maturing fruit subsequent to transport, instead of during transport, as the result of which it often arrives unripe or overripe, but rarely at its best possible quality.
