This has resulted in heavy importations of tomatoes from the South during the winter months. These are picked green, shipped, and ripened usually by subjecting them to warm temperatures. Everyone is acquainted with the lack of flavor of such tomat- oes, which in addition, are frequently deficient in red color. At all times. *such fruit is markedly inferior to that tripened naturally on the vine, and un- til recent years no system of artificial ripening had been deveIOped capable of even approaching the effectiveness of natural ripening.

Owing to favorable reports from oth- er investigators as to the effectiveness of ethylene gas as a means of artifi- cially ripening tomatoes, experiments] were initiated at the Experimental‘ Station, Fredericton, N.B., in the spring of 1930 to test its value as a means of ripening tomatoes, and-several other fruits and vegetables as well. Experiments over a period of two years have demonstrated fairly con- clusively that ethylene gas is an ef- iective means of ripening tomatoes. And more important still, the quality r DURHAM PUBLIC SCHOOL THE DURHAM CHRONICLE Mary E. Morton. Teacher. Myrtt‘e Mortley, Nora Stewart. Lizzie Schaefer. Teacher. Jean Harding, Teacher. Emily Hunt. Teacher. of the artificially ripened fruit is equal in flavor to that of the fruit ripened under natural conditions, providing mature green fruits are used. The color is perhaps sometimes not quite so deep a red. although it has an advantage in that the stem end, so frequently green under natural conditions of ripening, is usually almost fully colored. The length of treatment necessary is almost in direct pr0portion to the stage of maturity. Fruits which have assumed the gneenish white bloom, which ap» pears just before. the red pigment be- gins to become evident, will ripen in from four to seven days. Small imma- ture fruit will ripen, but the quality will not be equal to that of the field ripened crop. Providing the fruit is picked at the prOper stage, the quality is all that can be desired. Sufficient evidence is not as yet? available as to whether this method? has any commercial application or not. Undoubtedly the native crOp can be put on the market at an earlier date, but whether this gain in eariiness is sufficient to pay for the cost of equip- ment, has not been definitely estab- lished. The writer, however, believes that it holds considerable promise for the more progressive growers, and that Ipossibly, imported tomatoes could be greatly improved in flavo: by exposure to ethylene gas in a properly construct- ed chamber. This year is the growers’ last chance to sow seed with the object of securing a sample for competition in the World’s Grain Show, which is Milled for Begum in 1933.

Owing mainly to the fact that suitable cod fishing areas are localized and in many instances dis- tant from centres of rural and urban population, costs of transportation have considerably increased the price of this product in some districts. As a result liver and body oils mom a great var- iety of fish have been biologically test- ed in the hope that they might be as potent in vitamins as cod liver oil and be cheaper and more readily available in the districts concerned. Suitable species of cod for the pro- duction of cod liver oil upon a com- mercial basis do not exist on the Pa- cific coast of Canada. Oil is obtained, however, from the body of the pilch- ard, a fish which is netted in large quantities upon the British Columbia PILCHARD OIL IN POULTRY FEED coast. This oil is palatable. low in free fatty acids and can be fairly cheaply produced. Cod liver oil contains vita- min A which is growth producing and vitamin D which prevents rickets and permits of normal bone formation. In experiments with chicks recently com- pleted at the Poultry Division, Gen- trul Experimental Farm, pflchard oil from the British Columbia, coast was mventobeaspotentasagoodgmde of poultry cod liver on in both vitamins A and D. Consequently. when of good quality, it may substitute for cod liver oil for poultry feeding.

Since pilchard oil has been used in the past mainly for industrial purposes with a low return to the producers is is confidently hoped. in View of the apparent qualities of the oil. tint it will be svailcble at a very masonnble price for poultry use.
