. Better fruit. Fruit-culture. August, iprp BETTER FRUIT WellBuiltStorageHouseValuablelnvestment THE building of apple storage houses in the Northwest is being engaged in on a larger scale this year than at any other period in the his- tory of the fruit industry in this sec- tion. In almost every apple raising. An apple storage house built along good lines. Note tile intake doors near the ground level, the slat doors above and the numerous and large outlet flues. district storage houses are being built, and interest in proper construction to secure the best results from common or air cooled storage is keen. In last month's issue, Better Fruit published an article written by F. W. Allen, As- sistant Horticulturist in Fruit Storage Investigations of the Bureau of Mar- kets of the United States Agricultural Department that attracted widespread attention among western fruitgrowers and fruitmen. Mr. Allen has taken a deep interest in the matter of securing the kind of construction in apple storage houses that will secure the best results and incidentally save growers many dol- lars. Many mistakes have been made in the past in the construction of these houses owing to lack of information and the idea that most any kind of a storage house would do. This idea however is becoming a thing of the past as is shown in the accompany- ing illustration of the latest type of storage house recently completed in a Washington apple growing district. It will be seen at a glance that the construction of this house is complete and substantial, and that it should prove a valuable investment to its owners.
