UTILIZATION OF WASTE SEED FROM THE TOMATO. 11 equipment because of the necessarily increased size of the air blower and the consequent power required for operating it. A drier which can be satisfactorily used for handling tomato seed for oil extraction is a tunnel drier described in Farmers' Bulletin 984, United States Department of Agriculture (fig. 6). An adaptation of this form of drier for handling the quantities of seed produced by a plant pulping 1,000 baskets of tomatoes a day is a rectangular box 10 feet long, 2 feet wide, and 6 feet high. One end rests upon the floor (fig. 6, left), and the other end is raised 2-J feet above the floor level by increasing the length of the studding. This gives the floor and ceiling of the box a uniform slope of 3 inches per foot of. Fig. 6.—A 1-tunnel evaporator. length. The box has a solid floor except at the lower end, where there is an opening 3 by 2 feet which permits the entrance of warm air from the furnace placed immediately below the opening. A ventilating shaft 2 by 3 feet is placed at the upper end and extends through the roof to a height well above the top of the chimney and the peak of the roof. The runways carrying the trays are made of strips 1 by 1 inch or 1 by 2 inches, nailed 4 inches apart to the studding on centers, thus accommodating 16 tiers of trays, one above another. The trays may be 2 by 3 feet or 2 by 4 feet, made of wire mosquito netting nailed to frames made of wooden strips 1 by 1 Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original United States.
