FRUIT FOR EXPORT.
COOL STORAGE PROBLEMS.
GREATER CARE IN PACKING, By Telegraph—Pres3 Association—Copyright London, April 10. A paper on "Fruit and Refrigeration"was read at a meeting of the Cold Storage and Ice Association by Mr. F. Moore. He maintained that the best temperature at which apples should be carried was 23deg. Fahr., with no greater range than 2deg. either way. Some fruits would carry better if they were pre-cooied. That was unnecessary in the case ct apples, but it was very desirable as far as pears were concerned. Mr. Moore said they must look beyond the refrigerating engineer before they could receive fruit from the Antipodes at its best. They must not expect refrigeration to preserve thoroughly fruit which was not in the best condition when it reached the refrigerator. Sufficient importance was not attached to the proper time for gathering fruit, and to its treatment after gathering.
Sir Thomas Mackenzie, High Commis# sioncr {or New Zealand, presided at the meeting.
