Diseases of Apples
Found in Storage
:?
Percentage Depends on the
Growth and Preparation.
(Prepared by tho United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The percentage txf tliseases. particularly
rots and scald, found, in -apples? in
iftorage and on the market depends,
according to the United States Depart' j
nioijr of Agriculture, upon their whole j
past history; that -is, upon the eondi-!
t ions' under whlcl)? they were grown |
and prepare d for market, the amount I
of disease they shovied. when they
were shipimd or 'when they went into
storage, and flnoUy, upon the conditions
under which they were /held, In
transit or in: .storage. The percentage
of disease depends to a considerable
extent, also, upon the length of time
the apples have been kept in storage,
those stored longest being the most
seriously affectodi Inspection of the
commercial apple crop over a four-1
year period showed that the box crop
suffered from n steady increase in percentage
of disease from "October till
June; the barrel crop only , from December
to June.
An analysis of the records of the
inspection. service for 5,222 cars Inspected
during the four-year period, j
191?.to 1921, is'published in Depart-, j
merit Bulletin 1253,. "Diseases of Apples
on the Market." Considering the
inspections for* the four-year period as
. ti Whole, Ulue-tnold rot occurred more
commonly than any other disease. In
"the box crop, scnld was second and
other rots third; in the barrel crop,
other rots exclusive of black rot came
second and black rot come third. Summer
and fall varieties showed loss dis
ease, on the average, than winter or |
long-storage varieties.
In the JusrreU crop the percentage of
disease was less in cars frotn New
Vot!:. Michigan, Virginia and West
Virginia than in. those from all other
eastern states, considered as a whole.
The percentage of disease in the box
crop was slightly heavier In cars fronp
Idaho than In theme from all other
western slates, considered as n whole.

Do You Need a Tonic?
Durham, N. Car,?"About fifteen
years ago two of my children had
whooping cough so badly that afterward
their lungs and bronchial
tubes were affected from the strenuous
coughing. They kept getting
weaker and I believe would have had
serious pulmonary affection had it
not'been for Dr. Pierce's Golden.
Medical Discovery. I gave them
several bottles until they were
entirely out of danger and well and
strong. I would never hesitate in
recommending Dr. Pierce's Golden.
Medical Discovery as a tonic after
any prostrating illness, because ib
brings permanent strength."?Mrs,
Josephine Arthur, 409 Toby St.
Obtain Dr. Pierce's "Discovery*
now from your druggist, in liquid on

little folks as it contains no harmful ?
ingredient. Write Dr. .Pierce, Piu.
