C SanFrancisco, Cal. decayed, wormy and badly-bruised apples are unsatisfactory for the pur- pose, making only the low grades of evaporated stock known as waste and chops. These low grades are quoted at present in the Rochester, New York, market-s (Fruit and Produce Marketer, page 9, January 6, 1916) at from 2% to 3% cents per pound. With the cost of evaporation at about 2 cents per pound of evaporated fruit, and from 12 to 15 pounds of cured fruit per 100 pounds of green fruit, such low-grade apples would only net about 12 to 15 cents per hundred, if the growers owned their own evaporators. It is only the good-to-mcdium grades of fresh fruit which will bring the top prices as cured fruit. This class includes ineiiium-sizeil, poorly-colored, limb- rubbed, lop-sided and slightly-bruised fruit, but practically sound and edible when received at the factory or dryer. This is much the same type of fruit demanded for canning, and at about the same prices as quoted for canning purposes. Turning now to the lowest grade or cull fruit, there are several possibili- ties for its disposal; it may be made into vinegar, denatured alcohol, or used as stock feed. The prices usually realized for vinegar apples, of from $2 to $5 per ton, may not warrant their special harvest during the rush season of picking and packing the higher- graile fruit. The culls which come from the orchard to the packing house, however, mixed with better fruit, might be profitably utilized for vinegar pur- poses inasmuch as they have already been harvested and assembled at a central point. A portion of this fruit usually is even
