The price paid for cull apples varies with the season and the condi- tion of the fruit. The market prices of the by-products control, to a great extent, the price paid for culls. Late in the season, just prior to the time of picking, or during picking, this type of dropped apple may bring anywhere from 75 cents to $ a hundredweight. TThen the crop is large and the price of barreled apples low, cull apples usually bring 25 to 35 cents a hundredweight.
