Stored Apples
Breathe Oxygen
Storing apples ami marketing
them gradually according to mar
ket needs will give the grown-
j enough extra money to pay for
i the storage facilities provided, ro
J ports C. E Van Deman, assistant
horticulturist in chaige of the
i State College Apple Research Lab
oratory at North Wilkesboro.
Van Deman says there are three
types of storage; air-cooled or
"common" storage, refrigerate d or
"cold" storage, and controlled at
mosphere storage.
"Apples use up oxygen from the
air and give off carbon dioxide in
the ripening process, known as
'breathing,' and we can therefore
realize the importance of the third
method of storage whereby the two
gases can he controlled in the stor
age room," Van Deman said.
The controlled atmosphere stor
age puts the apple to "sleep" and
the ripening process can be re
tarted while still keeping the fruit
in excellent condition, with no loss
in quality.
He predicts that consumers will
soon be able to eat an apple a day
all through the year and find that
apple just as good as it was the
day it was picked from the tree.
There are some cold storage
plants for apples in North Caro
lina and these will probably be in
creased after the war, by growers
building plants on their own farms,
according to Van Deman. He says
that it is very difficult to market
a large crop of Delicious, Stayman
Winesap and other fall apples to
best advantage without storing at
least part of them in a good cold
storage.
