Drying cut fruits . wmmmmm wmmmm Fig. 2.—A well built group of concrete sulfur houses with close-fitting wooden doors. to three pounds of sulfur per ton of fresh fruit, provided all the oxygen of the air be consumed in the combustion. However not all the oxygen present in the atmosphere is used in the process of combus- tion, since combustion ceases when the concentration of oxygen in the air becomes low. This requires definite provision of draft to secure rapid and complete combustion unless the sulfur house is very leaky, in which case more sulfur must be used. In order to secure uniform distribu- tion of the sulfur dioxide the vents should be so located as to cause the current of air and fumes to pass over as much of the fruit as possible. The arrangements shown in figures 4 and 5 have given good results.
